Having made clear to us the secret of his purpose, in agreement with the design which he had in mind, to put into his hands

that we who had first put our hope in Christ might praise His glory.

above all the angelic Rulers, Authorities, Powers, and Lords, above every Name that is to be named not only in this age but in the age to come ??22 he has put everything under his feet and set him as head over everything for the church,

And hath put all things under his feet, and hath made him above all things, the head of the congregation:

and not the result of actions, to put a stop to all boasting.

and hath also put away, through his flesh, the cause of hatred - that is to say, the law of commandments contained in the law written - for to make of twain one new man in himself, so making peace.

He did this so that He might reconcile both to God in one body through the cross and put the hostility to death by it.

from whom the whole body, well put together and compacted by means of every supplying joint, is, according to the working of each part in its proportion, building itself up in love.

if ye have indeed hearkened to Him, and been instructed in Him, as the truth is in Jesus; to put off the old man,

That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;

and put on that new man, which after the image of God is shapen in righteousness, and true holiness.

Wherefore, put away lying, and speak every man truth unto his neighbor, forasmuch as we are members one of another.

Let the thief steal no more; rather let him work and put his hands to an honest task, so as to have something to contribute to the needy.

Let all bitterness, fierceness and wrath, roaring and cursed speaking, be put away from you, with all maliciousness.

Do not be turned from the right way by foolish words; for because of these things the punishment of God comes on those who do not put themselves under him.

For the things which are done by them in secret it is shame even to put into words.

Put on all the panoply of God, so that you may be able to stand your ground against the stratagems of the devil.

Therefore, put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and, having done all, to stand.

Hold your position, then, with your waist encircled with the belt of truth, put on right-doing as a coat of mail,

and put on your feet the preparation the good news of peace supplies.

Besides all these, take on the shield which faith provides, for with it you will be able to put out all the fire-tipped arrows shot by the evil one,

put on salvation as your helmet, and take the Spirit as your sword (that is, the word of God),
