to your walking worthily of the Lord to all pleasing, in every good work being fruitful, and increasing to the knowledge of God,

in all might being made mighty according to the power of His glory, to all endurance and long-suffering with joy.

And you -- once being alienated, and enemies in the mind, in the evil works, yet now did he reconcile,

if also ye remain in the faith, being founded and settled, and not moved away from the hope of the good news, which ye heard, which was preached in all the creation that is under the heaven, of which I became -- I Paul -- a ministrant.

that their hearts may be comforted, being united in love, and to all riches of the full assurance of the understanding, to the full knowledge of the secret of the God and Father, and of the Christ,

being rooted and built up in him, and confirmed in the faith, as ye were taught -- abounding in it in thanksgiving.

being buried with him in the baptism, in which also ye rose with him through the faith of the working of God, who did raise him out of the dead.

And you -- being dead in the trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh -- He made alive together with him, having forgiven you all the trespasses,

let no one beguile you of your prize, delighting in humble-mindedness and in worship of the messengers, intruding into the things he hath not seen, being vainly puffed up by the mind of his flesh,

and not holding the head, from which all the body -- through the joints and bands gathering supply, and being knit together -- may increase with the increase of God.

your word always in grace -- with salt being seasoned -- to know how it behoveth you to answer each one.
