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,

that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth—in Him.

which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places,

and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,

to the intent that now the manifold wisdom of God might be made known by the church to the principalities and powers in the heavenly places,

from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,

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

And you, masters, do the same things to them, giving up threatening, knowing that your own Master also is in heaven, and there is no partiality with Him.

For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
