in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience.

for through him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.

in whom you also are being built together into a dwelling of God in the Spirit.

which was not made known to the sons of men in other generations as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;

that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inner man,

being diligent to preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
