²⁸ And God blessed them. And God said to them, ^(B)“Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

Sit at My Right Hand

A Psalm of David.

¹⁷ that ^(A)the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, ^(B)may give you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him, ^18 (C)having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is ^(D)the hope to which he has called you, what are ^(E)the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, ¹⁹ and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, ^(F)according to the working of ^(G)his great might ²⁰ that he worked in Christ ^(H)when he raised him from the dead and ^(I)seated him at his right hand ^(J)in the heavenly places, ^21 (K)far above ^(L)all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above ^(M)every name that is named, not only in ^(N)this age but also in the one to come. ²² And ^(O)he put all things under his feet and gave him as ^(P)head over all things to the church, ^23 (Q)which is his body, ^(R)the fullness of him ^(S)who fills ^(T)all in all.

By Grace Through Faith

2 ^(U)And you were ^(V)dead in the trespasses and sins ^2 (W)in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following ^(X)the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in ^(Y)the sons of disobedience—

Greeting to the Seven Churches

⁴ John to the seven churches that are in Asia:

Grace to you and peace from ^(A)him ^(B)who is and ^(C)who was and who is to come, and from ^(D)the seven spirits who are before his throne, ⁵ and from Jesus Christ ^(E)the faithful witness, ^(F)the firstborn of the dead, and ^(G)the ruler of kings on earth.

To ^(H)him who loves us and ^(I)has freed us from our sins by his blood ⁶ and made us ^(J)a kingdom, ^(K)priests to ^(L)his God and Father, to him be ^(M)glory and ^(N)dominion forever and ever. Amen.
