above all government, and authority, and power, and lordship, and every name named, not only in this age, but in the age to come:

Therefore I say this, and witness in the Lord, that you no longer walk about as the Gentiles also walk about in the vanity of their mind,

knowing that if each one may do good, he will receive this with the Lord, whether bond or free.

praying with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit in every place, and watching unto this same thing in all perseverance and prayer for all the saints,

whom I sent to you unto this same thing, in order that you may know the affairs concerning us, and he may comfort your hearts.
