and what is the exceeding greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to that working of the strength of his might

that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus;

having abolished in the flesh the hostility, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man of the two, making peace;

and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, having killed the hostility thereby.

to the intent that now through the assembly the manifold wisdom of God might be made known to the principalities and the powers in the heavenly places,

He who descended is the one who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.

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

that he might present the assembly to himself gloriously, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might.
