Jesus

in whom ye also, having heard the word of the truth--the good news of your salvation--in whom also having believed, ye were sealed with the Holy Spirit of the promise,

which is an earnest of our inheritance, to the redemption of the acquired possession, to the praise of His glory.

Because of this I also, having heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and the love to all the saints,

that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of the glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the recognition of him,

the eyes of your understanding being enlightened, for your knowing what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,

and what the exceeding greatness of His power to us who are believing, according to the working of the power of His might,

which He wrought in the Christ, having raised him out of the dead, and did set him at His right hand in the heavenly places ,

and all things He did put under his feet, and did give him--head over all things to the assembly,

which is his body, the fulness of Him who is filling the all in all,

Also you--being dead in the trespasses and the sins,

even being dead in the trespasses, did make us to live together with the Christ, (by grace ye are having been saved,)

and did raise us up together, and did seat us together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,

that He might show, in the ages that are coming, the exceeding riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus,

for of Him we are workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to good works, which God did before prepare, that in them we may walk.

that ye were at that time apart from Christ, having been alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of the promise, having no hope, and without God, in the world;

and now, in Christ Jesus, ye being once afar off became nigh in the blood of the Christ,

for he is our peace, who did make both one, and the middle wall of the enclosure did break down,

the enmity in his flesh, the law of the commands in ordinances having done away, that the two he might create in himself into one new man, making peace,

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

because through him we have the access--we both--in one Spirit unto the Father.

being built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being chief corner- stone ,

in whom all the building fitly framed together doth increase to an holy sanctuary in the Lord,

For this cause, I Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you the nations,

that by revelation He made known to me the secret, according as I wrote before in few words --

in regard to which ye are able, reading it , to understand my knowledge in the secret of the Christ,
