in whom also we were assigned an inheritance, having been foreordained according to the purpose of him who works all things after the counsel of his will;

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

For this cause I also, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which is among you, and the love which you have toward all the saints,

far above all rule, and authority, and power, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age, but also in that which is to come.

among whom we also all once lived in the lust of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest.

in whom you also are built together for a habitation of God in the Spirit.

There is one body, and one Spirit, even as you also were called in one hope of your calling;

Now this, "He ascended," what is it but that he also first descended into the lower parts of the earth?

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

This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles also walk, in the futility of their mind,

And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you.

Walk in love, even as Christ also loved you, and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling fragrance.

For the husband is the head of the wife, and Christ also is the head of the assembly, being himself the savior of the body.

But as the assembly is subject to Christ, so let the wives also be to their own husbands in everything.

Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it;

Even so husbands also ought to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself.

For no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Lord also does the assembly;

Nevertheless each of you must also love his own wife even as himself; and let the wife see that she respects her husband.

But that you also may know my affairs, how I am doing, Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful servant in the Lord, will make known to you all things;
