and your love to all the saints, cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;

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:

hath made us alive in Christ, even when we were dead in trespasses, (for by grace ye are saved) and hath raised us up together,

For by grace ye are saved, through faith: and this not of yourselves; it is the gift of God: not by works, that no one may boast:

for we are his workmanship,

created in Christ Jesus unto good works, for which God before prepared us, that we might walk in them.

For He is our peace, who hath made both one, and removed the wall of partition from between us;

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

in whom ye also are built up together for an habitation of God by the Spirit.

For this cause I Paul am the prisoner of Jesus Christ for the sake of you Gentiles:

For this cause I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

I therefore, a prisoner for the sake of the Lord, exhort you to walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, with all humility and meekness;

endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace: for there is but one body and one Spirit,

He that descended is the same also that ascended far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.

And therefore He gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers; to qualify holy men for the work of the ministry,

Wherefore putting away lying, speak ye every one truth to his neighbor; for we are all members of one society.

even as Christ hath loved us, and given Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for an odor of sweet perfume.

But fornication, and all uncleanness, or inordinate desire, let it not be even named among you; for so it becometh saints:

For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, (who is an idolater,) hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

Let no one deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.

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

walk therefore as children of light, (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth,)

For it is a shame even to relate the things that are done by them in secret.

But all things to be reproved: are made manifest by the light: for whatever doth make manifest, is light.

always giving thanks for all to God even the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ:

submitting yourselves to each other in the fear of God.

for the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and the saviour of that body.

Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave up Himself for it:

that He might prepare it for Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle, or any such thing: but that it should be holy and unblameable.

For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord also doth the church:

for we are members of his body, as if taken out of his flesh, and of his bones, as Eve was out of Adam's.

For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.

Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.

Servants, obey them that are your masters according to the flesh, with reverential fear, in the simplicity of your heart, as unto Christ:

knowing that whatever good any one doth, he shall receive the reward of it from the Lord, whether He be a slave or free.

For our conflict is not with flesh and blood only, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the world and of the darkness of this age, against wicked spirits in heavenly places.

praying at all seasons with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance, and intercession for all the saints;

and for me particularly, that utterance may be given me, that I may open my mouth with freedom, to make known the mystery of the gospel:

for which I am an ambassador though in chains: that I may speak boldly in behalf of it, as I ought to speak.

for this very end, that ye might know our concerns, and that he may comfort your hearts.
