Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Redemption in Christ

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,

Prayer for Spiritual Wisdom

Therefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints,

that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him,

in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord,

according to the eternal purpose which He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord,

Appreciation of the Mystery

For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

Walk in Unity

I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called,

one Lord, one faith, one baptism;

The New Man

This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind,

Walk in Light

For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light

finding out what is acceptable to the Lord.

Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord,

giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,

Marriage—Christ and the Church

Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord.

For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church.

Children and Parents

Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.

And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord.

with goodwill doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men,

knowing that whatever good anyone does, he will receive the same from the Lord, whether he is a slave or free.

The Whole Armor of God

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.

A Gracious Greeting

But that you also may know my affairs and how I am doing, Tychicus, a beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, will make all things known to you;

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

Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen.
