which he made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence,

unto a dispensation of the fulness of the times, to sum up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens, and the things upon the earth; in him, I say,

in whom also we were made a heritage, having been foreordained according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his will;

For this cause I also, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which is among you, and the love which ye show toward all the saints,

far above all rule, and authority, and power, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:

and he put all things in subjection under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things to the church,

which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.

among whom we also all once lived in the lusts of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest:—

Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, was this grace given, to preach unto the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;

and to make all men see what is the dispensation of the mystery which for ages hath been hid in God who created all things;

may be strong to apprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth,

and to know the love of Christ which passeth knowledge, that ye may be filled unto all the fulness of God.

Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,

unto him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus unto all generations for ever and ever. Amen.

with all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;

one God and Father of all, who is over all, and through all, and in all.

He that descended is the same also that ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.)

till we all attain unto the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a fullgrown man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:

but speaking truth in love, may grow up in all things into him, who is the head, even Christ;

from whom all the body fitly framed and knit together through that which every joint supplieth, according to the working in due measure of each several part, maketh the increase of the body unto the building up of itself in love.

who being past feeling gave themselves up to lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.

Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and railing, be put away from you, with all malice:

But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as becometh saints;

(for the fruit of the light is in all goodness and righteousness and truth),

But all things when they are reproved are made manifest by the light: for everything that is made manifest is light.
