For this cause, I also, - having heard of the faith on your part in the Lord Jesus, and that towards all the saints,

Over-above all principality, authority, and power, and lordship, and every name that is named, not only in this age, but also in the coming one,

For, by his favour, have ye been saved, through means of faith, and this hath come to pass - not from you, of God, the free-gift!

For this cause, I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus in behalf of you the nations: -

Unto me - the less than least of all saints, was given this favour, unto the nations, to announce the glad-message of the untraceable riches of the Christ,

For this cause, I bow my knees unto the Father, -

Now this, He ascended; what is it, - save - that he also descended into the under parts of the earth?

This, therefore, am I saying and protesting in the Lord: - that, no longer, ye walk even as, the nations, walk - in the vanity of their minds,

For, this, ye know, if ye take note - that no fornicator, or impure or greedy person, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of the Christ and God.

For this cause, do not become foolish, but have discernment as to what is the will of the Lord;

For this cause, will a man leave his father and his mother, and will cleave unto his wife, and, they two, shall become, one flesh.

This sacred secret, is, great, - I, however, am speaking as to Christ and as tothe assembly; -

Ye children, be obedient unto your parents in the Lord, for this is right:

Because our struggle is not against blood and flesh, but, against the principalities, against the authorities, against the world-holders, of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenlies.

For this cause, take up the complete armour of God, in order that ye may receive power to withstand in the evil day, and, all things, having accomplished, to stand!

Whom I have sent unto you for this very purpose, that ye may get to know the things concerning us, and he may encourage your hearts.
