who also made known to us your love in the Spirit.

strengthened with all power, according to the might of His glory, unto all patience and long-suffering with joy;

giving thanks to the Father, Who made us meet for the portion of the inheritance of the saints in light;

and through Him to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace through the blood of His cross; through Him, whether the things on the earth, or the things in the heavens.

if, at least, ye continue in the faith, founded and steadfast, and not moved away from the hope of the Gospel, which ye heard, which was preached in all creation under the heaven, of which I, Paul, was made a minister.

of which I was made a minister, according to the dispensation of God, which was given to me for you, to fulfill the word of God,

the mystery which has been hidden from the ages and from the generations, but was now made manifest to His saints;

and ye have been made complete in Him, Who is the Head of all principality and power;

in Whom ye were also circumcised with a circumcision not made with hand, in the putting off of the body of the flesh, in the circumcision of Christ;

having despoiled the principalities and the powers, He made an example of them, celebrating a triumph over them in it.
