And what is the transcending greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of the dominion of his might,

So that in the coming ages he might show the transcending wealth of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

having abolished in his flesh the enmity--the law of the commandments in ordinances--so that he might create in himself the two into one new man, making peace,

and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, having slain the enmity by it.

So that now the manifold wisdom of God might be made known to the principal offices and the positions of authority in the heavenly things, through the church,

He who descended is also the same man who ascended high above all the heavens, so that he might fill all things.

so that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it with the washing of water by the word,

so that he might present it to himself, the glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that it should be holy and unblemished.

Finally my brothers, be strong in Lord and in the power of his might.

Whom I sent to you for this same thing, so that ye might know the things about us, and that he might encourage your hearts.
