In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,

far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come.

In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit.

(In saying, “He ascended,” what does it mean but that he had also descended into the lower regions, the earth?

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

Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands.

and also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel,

Final Greetings

So that you also may know how I am and what I am doing, Tychicus the beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord will tell you everything.
