Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come.

And he hath put all things under his feet, and hath given him to be head over all things to the church,

But God who is rich in mercy,

But now through Christ Jesus, ye who were once far off are brought nigh by the blood of Christ.

Therefore ye are no longer strangers, and foreigners, but fellow-citizens with the saints and of the houshold of God,

But to every one of us is given grace, according to the measure of the gift of Christ.

(Now that he ascended, what is it, but that he also descended first to the lower parts of the earth?

But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, who is the head, even Christ:

But ye have not so learned Christ; Since ye have heard him,

and been taught by him, (as the truth is in Jesus) To put off,

And to put on the new man, which is created after God, in righteousness and true holiness.

Let him that stole, steal no more; but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.

Let no corrupt discourse proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good, to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace to the hearers.

Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil-speaking be put away from you with all malice.

But let not fornication, or any uncleanness, or covetousness be even named among you, as becometh saints:

Neither obscenity, nor foolish talking, or jesting, which are not convenient, but rather thanksgiving.

For ye were once darkness, but now ye are light in the Lord:

And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.

But all things which are reproved are made manifest by the light; for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.

not as fools, but as wise men, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what is the will of the Lord.

wherein is excess; but be ye filled with the Spirit, Speaking to each other in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your hearts unto the Lord;

Now no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourisheth and cherisheth it, as also the Lord the church.

But let every one of you in particular so love his wife as himself: and let the wife reverence her husband.

And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath, but bring them up in the instruction and discipline of the Lord.

Not with eye-service, as men-pleasers, but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart,

Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the world, of the darkness of this age, against wicked spirits in heavenly places.

Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,

But that ye also may know my affairs, how I do, Tychicus, a beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, will make known to you all things.
