Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:

Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:

And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled

Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:

Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.

And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;

Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,

But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.

For I bear him record, that he hath a great zeal for you, and them that are in Laodicea, and them in Hierapolis.
