far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:

in which ye formerly walked after the manner of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that still operates in the children of disobedience:

For by grace ye are saved, through faith: and this not of yourselves; it is the gift of God: not by works, that no one may boast:

For this cause I Paul am the prisoner of Jesus Christ for the sake of you Gentiles:

On me, who am less than the least of all saints, was this grace bestowed, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,

For this cause I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

Now this expression "He ascended" what does it mean, but that He descended first into the lower parts of the earth?

This I say therefore, and charge you in the name of the Lord, that ye no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk,

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.

For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.

This mystery is great: but I speak concerning Christ and the Church.

Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.

For our conflict is not with flesh and blood only, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the world and of the darkness of this age, against wicked spirits in heavenly places.

for this very end, that ye might know our concerns, and that he may comfort your hearts.
