For this reason I too, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which exists among you and your love for all the saints,

For by grace you have been saved through faith; and this is not of yourselves, it is the gift of God;

in whom we have boldness and confident access through faith in Him.

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

one Lord, one faith, one baptism,

until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ.

in addition to all, taking up the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.

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