-
Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
-
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
-
Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints,
-
That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
-
In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:
-
According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:
-
For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
-
I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,
-
One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
-
This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,
-
For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:
-
Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.
-
Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.
-
Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
-
Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
-
Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
-
For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:
-
Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.
-
And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
-
With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men:
-
Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.
-
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
-
But that ye also may know my affairs, and how I do, Tychicus, a beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, shall make known to you all things:
-
Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
-
Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen.
