being built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the corner-stone,

Being darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God - by reason of the ignorance that existeth within them, by reason of their hearts being turned into stone,

Stand therefore, being girded about as to your loins with truth, and being invested with the breastplate of righteousness,

because you were at that time without Christ, being alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers of the covenants of the promise, having no hope and being atheists in the world.

And to him being able to do above all things more abundantly above what we ask or think, according to the power being energetic in us,

and you, being dead in your offences and sins --

but God, being rich in mercy, because of his great love wherewith he loved us,

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

and being renewed in the spirit of your mind;

and we being dead in trespasses, he made [us] alive together with Christ (by grace you are saved),

being eager to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace;

[that] you take off, according to your former way of life, the old man, who is being destroyed according to deceitful desires,

For it is shameful even to speak [about] the things being [done] by them in secret,

being subject to one another {out of reverence for} Christ

not {while being watched}, as people pleasers, but as slaves of Christ doing the will of God from the heart,

with all prayer and supplication praying at all times in the Spirit, and to this [end] being alert with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints,

in whom we have also obtained an inheritance, being marked out beforehand according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his own will,

being enlightened in the eyes of your heart, so that ye should know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
