do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers,

that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him;

if it is so that you have heard of the administration of that grace of God which was given me toward you;

of which I was made a servant, according to the gift of that grace of God which was given me according to the working of his power.

To me, the very least of all saints, was this grace given, to proclaim to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,

But to each one of us was the grace given according to the measure of the gift of Christ.

neither give place to the devil.

Let him who stole steal no more; but rather let him labor, working with his hands the thing that is good, that he may have something to give to him who has need.

Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but such as is good for building up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear.

You masters, do the same things to them, and give up threatening, knowing that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no partiality with him.

on my behalf, that utterance may be given to me in opening my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the Good News,
