Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly [worlds] in Christ,

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

in whom also we have been called, having been predestinated according to the purpose of him who works out all things according to the counsel of his will,

that we should be for a praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ;

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

and what the exceeding greatness of his power towards us who believe, according to the operation of his mighty power,

among whom also we all formerly lived in the desires of our flesh, performing the wishes of the flesh and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath even as others;

but God who is rich in mercy, on account of his great love with which he loved us,??5 even when we were dead in sins he made us alive with Christ,??y grace are you saved,

but now, in Christ Jesus you who were formerly far off have been made nigh by the blood of Christ.

For he is our peace, who made both one and broke down the middle wall of partition,

And he came and preached the good news of peace to you who were far off, and peace to those nigh,

To me, who am the least of all saints, was this grace given, to preach to the nations the unsearchable riches of Christ,

and to enlighten all men as to the dispensation of the mystery concealed from eternity in God who created all things,

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

of whom all the family in heaven and on earth is named,

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

but speaking the truth with love we may grow to him in all things, who is the head, Christ;

by whom all the body being joined together and compacted by the supply of every joint, according to the proportionate operation of every part, makes increase of the body to the edification of itself in love.

who being without feeling have given themselves up to lewdness, to commit every impurity with greediness.

For you know this, that no fornicator, or impure, or covetous person, who is an idolater, has an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

whom I have sent to you for this purpose, that you may know the things concerning us and that he may comfort your hearts.

The grace be with all who love our Lord Jesus Christ with constancy.
