Ought not the Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?

which he made active in the Christ when he raised him from the dead, and caused him to sit at his right hand in the heavenly places, high above every principality and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age, but also in that which is to come;


But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, that he might buy off those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption.

for my eyes have seen thy salvation, which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;

Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in heavenly things in Christ, according as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him in love, having predestinated us for adoption to himself through Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of his will, read more.
for the praise of the glory of his grace, by which he has shown us favor in the Beloved, in whom we have redemption through his blood, even the remission of sins, according to the riches of his grace, which he has made to abound to us in all wisdom and understanding, by making known to us the mystery of his will according to his good purpose which he had before established in himself, for a dispensation at the fullness of the times, in order that he might bring together for himself all things in the Christ, both those which are in the heavens, and those which are on earth; in him in whom we have obtained our portion, having been predestinated according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will, that we should be for the praise of his glory; even we, who before had hope in the Christ:

that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the acknowledgment of him, that, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened, you may know what is the hope of his calling, and what are the glorious riches of his inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of his power to ward us who believe in accordance with the energy of his mighty power, read more.
which he made active in the Christ when he raised him from the dead, and caused him to sit at his right hand in the heavenly places, high above every principality and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age, but also in that which is to come; and subjected all things under his feet, and made him head over all things for the church,

but God, being rich in mercy, on account of his great love with which he loved us, made alive with Christ even us, being dead to our offenses, (by grace you are saved,) and raised us up, and made us sit together in heavenly places, in Christ Jesus; read more.
that he might show, in the ages to come, the exceeding riches of his grace by his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through the faith; and this matter is not of yourselves; it is the gift of God: not by works, lest any one should boast. For we are his workman ship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God before prepared, that we should walk in them.

for it pleased the Father that all his fullness should dwell in him, and by him to reconcile all things to himself, having made peace by the blood of his cross; by him, I say, whether things on earth or things in heaven.





For as we have many members in one body, and all the members have not the same office, so we, the many, are one body in Christ, and members one of another. Since, then, we have gifts which differ according to the grace that is given to us, whether we have the gift of prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of our faith; read more.
or, if we have a ministry, let us be active in our ministry; if any one teaches, let him attend to his teaching; or, if any exhorts, let him attend to exhortation; if any one gives, let him do it with sincerity; he that rules, with diligence: he that shows mercy, with cheerfulness.

Know you not that your bodies are the members of Christ? Shall I, then, take the members of the Christ, and make them the members of a harlot? It must not be. Know you not that he that is joined to a harlot, is one body? For the two, says the scripture, shall be one flesh. But he that is joined to the Lord, is one spirit.

The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the participation of the blood of the Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the participation of the body of the Christ? Because the loaf is one, we, the many, are one body, for we are all partakers of the one loaf.

For as the body is one, and has many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body, so also is the Christ. For by one Spirit we all were immersed into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free; and we all have been made to drink of one Spirit. For the body is not one member, but many. read more.
If the foot shall say: Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body, is it, for this reason, no part of the body? And if the ear shall say: Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body, is it, for this reason, no part of the body? If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling? But now God has placed the members, each of them, in the body, as it has pleased him. And if they were all one member, where were the body? But now there are many members, but one body. The eye can not say to the hand: I have no need of you; or again, the head to the feet: I have no need of you. But much more are those members of the body necessary, which seem to be more feeble. And those members of the body, which, we think, are less honorable, around these we place the more abundant honor; and our uncomely members have the more abundant comeliness: for our comely members have no need. But God has so arranged the body, giving more abundant honor to that part which is deficient, that there may be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same anxious care, one for another; and if one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it. Now, you are the body of Christ, and, as individuals, you are members. And God has placed some in the church, first, apostles; secondly, prophets; thirdly, teachers; then mighty deeds; then gifts of healing; helps, governments, kinds of tongues. Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all workers of mighty deeds? Have all the gifts of healing? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret? But seek earnestly the best gifts; and yet I show you a more excellent way.

and what is the exceeding greatness of his power to ward us who believe in accordance with the energy of his mighty power, which he made active in the Christ when he raised him from the dead, and caused him to sit at his right hand in the heavenly places, high above every principality and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age, but also in that which is to come; read more.
and subjected all things under his feet, and made him head over all things for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all his members with all things,

I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, exhort you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called; with all lowliness and meekness, with long-suffering, bearing with one another in love, earnestly endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. read more.
There is one body and one Spirit, even as you have been called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one immersion; one God and Father of all, who is over all, and through all, and in you all. But grace has been given to each one of us, according to the measure of the gift of the Christ. For which reason, the scripture says: When he ascended on high, he led captive a multitude of captives, and gave gifts to men. But this He ascended what does it mean, but that he also descended into the lower earthly regions? He that descended is also he that ascended high above all the heavens, that he might fill all things. And he himself gave some to be apostles, and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; for the complete instruction of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the building up of the body of the Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to a measure of stature that fully develops the Christ; that we might no longer be children, tossed and carried about by every wind of teaching, through the artifice of men, through craftiness used by them for the deliberate planning of deceit; but speaking truthfully in love, we might grow up in all things, into him who is the head, even the Christ, from whom the whole body, compactly fitted together, and united by every helping joint, according to the energy in the measure of each part, makes increase of the body, for the building up of itself in love.

Wives, be subject to your own husbands as to the Lord: for the husband is the head of the wife, as the Christ also is the head of the church; and he is the savior of the body. But as the church is subject to the Christ, so, also, let the wives be subject to their own husbands in every thing. read more.
Husbands, love your wives, as the Christ also loved the church, and delivered himself up for it, that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the bath of water through the word, in order that he might present it to himself a glorious church, having neither stain, nor wrinkle, nor any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. So ought men to love their own wives as their own bodies. He that loves his wife loves himself; for no one ever yet hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Christ the church: because we are members of his body, being of his flesh, and of his bones. For this cause a man shall leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and the two shall be one flesh. Great is this mystery; but I speak of Christ and of the church. But yet, let each one of you so love his wife as himself; and let the wife see that she reverence her husband.



and what is the exceeding greatness of his power to ward us who believe in accordance with the energy of his mighty power, which he made active in the Christ when he raised him from the dead, and caused him to sit at his right hand in the heavenly places, high above every principality and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age, but also in that which is to come; read more.
and subjected all things under his feet, and made him head over all things for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all his members with all things,

Wives, be subject to your own husbands as to the Lord: for the husband is the head of the wife, as the Christ also is the head of the church; and he is the savior of the body.

giving thanks to the Father, who has made us fit for a portion of the inheritance of the saints in light: who has delivered us from the authority of darkness, and has translated us into the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins; read more.
who is the image of the invisible God, the first-born of every creature; for by him were all things created, things in heaven and things in earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones, or lordships, or principalities, or authorities; all things were created by him, and for him: and he is before all things, and by him all things consist: and he is the head of the body, the church: and he is the beginning, the first-born from the dead, that in all things he might be preeminent; for it pleased the Father that all his fullness should dwell in him, and by him to reconcile all things to himself, having made peace by the blood of his cross; by him, I say, whether things on earth or things in heaven.





The Lord, therefore, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven: and he sat down at the right hand of God.

Henceforth the Son of man shall sit on the right hand of the power of God.


which he made active in the Christ when he raised him from the dead, and caused him to sit at his right hand in the heavenly places,

For which reason God has highly exalted him, and, also, bestowed on him a name that is above every name;



to the end that the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known, through the church, to the principalities and authorities in the heavenly regions,

which he made active in the Christ when he raised him from the dead, and caused him to sit at his right hand in the heavenly places,
