Because of this, we also, from the day in which we heard, do not cease praying for you, and asking that ye may be filled with the full knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding,

that their hearts may be comforted, being united in love, and to all riches of the full assurance of the understanding, to the full knowledge of the secret of the God and Father, and of the Christ,

See that no one shall be carrying you away as spoil through the philosophy and vain deceit, according to the deliverance of men, according to the rudiments of the world, and not according to Christ,

let no one beguile you of your prize, delighting in humble-mindedness and in worship of the messengers, intruding into the things he hath not seen, being vainly puffed up by the mind of his flesh,

when the Christ -- our life -- may be manifested, then also we with him shall be manifested in glory.

The wives! be subject to your own husbands, as is fit in the Lord;

the husbands! love your wives, and be not bitter with them;

the fathers! vex not your children, lest they be discouraged.

and when the epistle may be read with you, cause that also in the assembly of the Laodiceans it may be read, and the epistle from Laodicea that ye also may read;

The salutation by the hand of me, Paul; remember my bonds; the grace is with you. Amen.
