even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love

Thanksgiving and Prayer

For this reason, because I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints,

But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us,

so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love,

and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love,

Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ,

from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.

Walk in Love

Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children.

And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her,

In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.

However, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.

Peace be to the brothers, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Grace be with all who love our Lord Jesus Christ with love incorruptible.
