Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in heavenly things in Christ,

in whom we have redemption through his blood, even the remission of sins, according to the riches of his grace,

in him in whom we have obtained our portion, having been predestinated according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will,

that we should be for the praise of his glory; even we, who before had hope in the Christ:

in whom you also hoped after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom, after you also believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,

and what is the exceeding greatness of his power to ward us who believe in accordance with the energy of his mighty power,

which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all his members with all things,

among whom also we all formerly lived in the desires of our flesh, doing the will of the flesh and of the feelings, and were by nature children of wrath, even as others:

but now, in Christ Jesus, you, who were formerly far off, have become near, by the blood of the Christ.

For he is our peace, who has made both parties one, and broken down the partition wall that separated us,

and having come, he preached peace to you who were far off, and to those who were near:

in whom the whole building, compactly fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord;

in whom you also are builded together, for a dwelling-place of God by his Spirit.

to me, who am by far the least of all the saints, has this grace been given, that I might preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of the Christ,

and enlighten all men with respect to the plan of the mystery, which was concealed from the ages in God, who created all things;

in whom we have boldness and access with confidence, through our faith in him.

from whom the whole family in heaven and on earth is named,

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

but speaking truthfully in love, we might grow up in all things, into him who is the head, even the Christ,

from whom the whole body, compactly fitted together, and united by every helping joint, according to the energy in the measure of each part, makes increase of the body, for the building up of itself in love.

who, being past feeling, have given themselves up to licentiousness, that they may work all manner of uncleanness with greediness.

For you know this, that no lewd nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of the Christ and of God.

Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity.
