in which ye once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the powers of the air, the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience;

but now, in Christ Jesus, ye, who formerly were afar off, have been brought nigh by the blood of Christ.

which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as it hath now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;

to the intent that now to the principalities and powers in the heavenly regions might be known through the church the manifold wisdom of God,

Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,

Now what is implied in his ascending, but that he also descended into the lower parts of the earth?

For ye were once darkness, but now ye are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light,
