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

according as he hath chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and unblameable before Him in love:

to the praise of his glorious grace, whereby He hath made us acceptable in the Beloved:

wherein He hath abounded towards us with the highest wisdom and prudence;

and hath put all things under his feet, and given Him to be head over all things to the church;

And you hath he made alive who were dead in trespasses and sins,

hath made us alive in Christ, even when we were dead in trespasses, (for by grace ye are saved) and hath raised us up together,

For He is our peace, who hath made both one, and removed the wall of partition from between us;

and make all men to see the communication of the mystery, which from the ages past hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ;

Let him that stole steal no more; but rather let him labour, doing some good with his hands, that he may have something to bestow on him that hath need of it.

even as Christ hath loved us, and given Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for an odor of sweet perfume.

For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, (who is an idolater,) hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
