regarding His plan of the fullness of the times, to bring all things together in Christ, things in the heavens and things on the earth.

In Him we also have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things in accordance with the plan of His will,

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,

far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come.

but speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, that is, Christ,

All bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and slander must be removed from you, along with all malice.

(for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness, and truth),

But all things become visible when they are exposed by the light, for everything that becomes visible is light.

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

that He might present to Himself the church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy and blameless.

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.
