Praise for Spiritual Blessings in Christ
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ.
-
he predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will—
-
Thanksgiving and Prayer
For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all God’s people,
-
I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better.
-
And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,
-
in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.
-
For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
-
But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ.
-
built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone.
-
God’s Marvelous Plan for the Gentiles
For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles—
-
This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs together with Israel, members together of one body, and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus.
-
according to his eternal purpose that he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord.
-
to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
-
when you heard about Christ and were taught in him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus.
-
always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
-
Peace to the brothers and sisters, and love with faith from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
-
Grace to all who love our Lord Jesus Christ with an undying love.
