that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him;

that you put away, as concerning your former way of life, the old man, that grows corrupt after the lusts of deceit;

But sexual immorality, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be mentioned among you, as becomes saints;

not in the way of service only when eyes are on you, as men pleasers; but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;

for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

But that you also may know my affairs, how I am doing, Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful servant in the Lord, will make known to you all things;
