For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision has any strength nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.

For the rest, let no one give troubles to me, for I bear in my body the brands of the Lord Jesus.

even as He elected us in Him before the foundation of the world, for us to be holy and without blemish before Him in love,

for the administration of the fullness of the times to head up all things in Christ, both the things in the heavens, and the things on earth, in Him,

for us to be to the praise of His glory, the ones who had previously trusted in Christ;

the eyes of your mind having been enlightened, for you to know what is the hope of His calling, and what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,

For by grace you are saved, through faith, and this not of yourselves; it is the gift of God;

for we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God before prepared that we should walk in them.

For He is our peace, He making us both one, and breaking down the middle wall of partition,

For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father.

if, indeed, you heard of the stewardship of the grace of God given to me for you,

for the nations to be joint-heirs, and a joint-body and joint-sharers of His promise in Christ through the gospel,

For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

with a view to the perfecting of the saints for the work of the ministry, for the building up of the body of Christ,

For you have put off the old man, as regards the former behavior, having been corrupted according to the deceitful lusts,

and walk in love, even as Christ also loved us and gave Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for an odor of a sweet smell.

But let not fornication, and all uncleanness, or greediness, be named among you, as is fitting for saints;

For be knowing this, that every fornicator, or unclean one, or covetous one , who is an idolater, has no inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

Let no one deceive you with empty words, for through these things the wrath of God comes on the sons of disobedience.

for you then were darkness, but are now light in the Lord; walk as children of light.
