²⁸ Him we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that ^(A)we may present everyone ^(B)mature in Christ. ²⁹ For this ^(C)I toil, ^(D)struggling ^(E)with all his energy that he powerfully works within me.

^18 (A)having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is ^(B)the hope to which he has called you, what are ^(C)the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints,

^21 (A)to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

^5 (A)Not that we are sufficient in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, but ^(B)our sufficiency is from God, ⁶ who has made us sufficient to be ^(C)ministers of ^(D)a new covenant, not of ^(E)the letter but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but ^(F)the Spirit gives life.

¹³ And we impart this ^(A)in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, ^(B)interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual.^[a]

² For I decided to know nothing among you except ^(A)Jesus Christ and him crucified.
