just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him. In love

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,

But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us,

so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and grounded in love,

and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled to 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 are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, that is, Christ,

from whom the whole body, being fitted and held together by what every joint supplies, according to the proper working of each individual part, causes the growth of the body for the building up of itself in love.

and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma.

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her,

So husbands also ought to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself;

Nevertheless, as for you individually, each husband is to love his own wife the same as himself, and the wife must see to it that she respects 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 those who love our Lord Jesus Christ with incorruptible love.
