and we being dead in trespasses, he made [us] alive together with Christ (by grace you are saved),

For by grace you are saved through faith, and this [is] not from yourselves, [it is] the gift of God;

For we are his creation, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, so that we may walk in them.

in whom you also are built up together into a dwelling place of God in [the] Spirit.

[that] the Gentiles are fellow heirs, and fellow members of the body, and fellow sharers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel,

Therefore I ask [you] not to be discouraged at my afflictions on behalf of you, which are your glory.

But speaking the truth in love, we are to grow into him [with reference to] all [things], who is the head, Christ,

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

and obscenity, and foolish talk, or coarse jesting (which [are] not proper), but rather thanksgiving.

for you were formerly darkness, but now [you are] light in the Lord. Live like children of light

but all [things] exposed by the light are made visible,
