-
just as he chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world to be holy and blameless before him in love.

Paul’s Prayer
I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints, and for this reason
-
but God, who is rich in mercy, out of the great love with which he loved us
-
and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, as you are being rooted and grounded in love.
-
and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
-
with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love,
-
but speaking the truth in love, we must grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ,
-
from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by every ligament with which it is equipped, as each part is working properly, promotes the body’s growth in building itself up in love.
-
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, just 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.
-
Each of you, however, should love his wife as himself, and a wife should respect her husband.
-
Peace be to the brothers and sisters and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
-
Grace be with all who have an undying love for our Lord Jesus Christ.
