In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:

And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,

Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

Not of works, lest any man should boast.

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.

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,

For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:

From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.

Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.

Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.

And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
