not as a result of [your] works [nor your attempts to keep the Law], so that no one will [be able to] boast or take credit in any way [for his salvation].

Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;

and to show all men in a clear light what my stewardship is. It is the stewardship of the truth which from all the Ages lay concealed in the mind of God, the Creator of all things--

That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;

You were taught with reference to your former way of life to lay aside the old man who is being corrupted in accordance with deceitful desires,

Therefore, putting aside the lie, speak truth each one of you with his neighbor, because we are members of one another.

Avoid shameful and foolish talk and low jesting--they are all alike discreditable--and in place of these give thanks.

Children, obey your christian parents: for this is the law.
