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

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

in whom also we have obtained our inheritance, predestinated according to the purpose of him who effectually worketh all things according to the counsel of his own will:

that we should be to the praise of his glory, who first had hope in Christ.

In whom ye also [trusted] after ye had heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, ye have been sealed with the holy Spirit of promise,

and what the transcendent greatness of his power in us, who believe, according to the energy of his mighty strength

AND you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins,

wherein in times past ye walked after the fashion of this world, after the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now worketh with energy in the children of disobedience:

among whom also we all have had our conversation in time past, in the lusts of the flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, as well as the rest.

Wherefore remember that ye in time past were Gentiles in the flesh, who are called uncircumcision by that called circumcision made by hands in the flesh;

but now in Christ Jesus, ye who formerly were far off, are become nigh by the blood of Christ.

For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of separation,

and coming, hath preached peace to you who were afar off, and to those who were nigh:

in whom the whole building exactly cemented together groweth into a holy temple in the Lord:

by whom also ye have been built up together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

To me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;

and to make all men see what the communication of that mystery means, which was hid from the beginning in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:

in whom we have boldness and access with confidence to God by the faith of him.

of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named;

one God, and father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

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

but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, who is the head, even Christ:

From whom the whole body nicely joined together, and firmly connected by every joint of exact proportion, according to the energy exerted in the measure of every several part, causeth the increase of the body unto the edification of itself in love.

who insensible to remorse, have delivered themselves over in lasciviousness, to the practice of all impurity, with insatiable avidity.

For this ye know, that no whoremonger, or impure person, or avaricious, who is an idolater, hath an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

whom I have sent unto you for this very purpose, that ye may know our affairs, and that he might comfort your hearts.

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