having marked us out beforehand for adoption through Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,

in whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of offences, according to the riches of his grace;

For ye are saved by grace, through faith; and this not of yourselves; it is God's gift:

For through him we have both access by one Spirit to the Father.

in order that now to the principalities and authorities in the heavenlies might be made known through the assembly the all-various wisdom of God,

Wherefore I beseech you not to faint through my tribulations for you, which is your glory.

that the Christ may dwell, through faith, in your hearts, being rooted and founded in love,

There is one body and one Spirit, as ye have been also called in one hope of your calling;

one God and Father of all, who is over all, and through all, and in us all.

This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye should no longer walk as the rest of the nations walk in the vanity of their mind,

being darkened in understanding, estranged from the life of God by reason of the ignorance which is in them, by reason of the hardness of their hearts,

Let no corrupt word go out of your mouth, but if there be any good one for needful edification, that it may give grace to those that hear it.

But all things having their true character exposed by the light are made manifest; for that which makes everything manifest is light.

But even as the assembly is subjected to the Christ, so also wives to their own husbands in everything.

So ought men also to love their own wives as their own bodies: he that loves his own wife loves himself.

And, masters, do the same things towards them, giving up threatening, knowing that both their and your Master is in heaven, and there is no acceptance of persons with him.
