³⁸ For I am convinced that neither ^(A)death, nor life, nor ^(B)angels, nor principalities, nor ^(C)things present, nor things to come, nor powers,

⁴ in whose case ^(A)the god of ^(B)this ^[a]world has ^(C)blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that ^[b]they will not see the ^(D)light of the gospel of the ^(E)glory of Christ, who is the ^(F)image of God.

² in which you ^(A)previously walked according to the ^[a]course of ^(B)this world, according to ^(C)the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in ^(D)the ^[b]sons of disobedience.

¹² For our ^(A)struggle is not against ^[a](B)flesh and blood, but ^(C)against the rulers, against the powers, against the ^(D)world forces of this ^(E)darkness, against the ^(F)spiritual forces of wickedness in ^(G)the heavenly places.

¹⁶ for ^[a](A)by Him all things were created, ^(B)both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether ^(C)thrones, or dominions, or rulers, or authorities—^(D)all things have been created through Him and for Him.
