For the flesh craveth that which is repugnant to the Spirit; and the Spirit craveth that which is repugnant to the flesh: and the two are the opposites of each other, so that ye do not that which ye desire.

And bear ye one another's burdens, that so ye may fulfill the law of the Messiah.

and that the eyes of your hearts may be enlightened, so that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints;

if so be, ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God, which was given to me among you:

so that while ye read, ye might be able to understand my knowledge of the mystery of the Messiah,)

so that, by means of the church, the manifold wisdom of God might become known to the principalities and powers that are in heaven:

so that ye may become one body, and one Spirit; even as ye are called unto one hope of your calling.

But ye have not so learned the Messiah;

For ye were heretofore darkness, but now are ye light in our Lord: therefore, as the children of light, so walk ye.

And as the church is subject to the Messiah, so also let wives be to their husbands in all things.

It behooveth men so to love their wives, as [fn] their own bodies. For he that loveth his wife loveth himself.

Nevertheless, let each of you severally so love his wife, even as himself: and let the wife reverence her husband.

Also ye masters, do ye so to your servants. Forgive them a fault; because ye know, that ye have a master in heaven; and there is no respect of persons with him.

And put ye on; the whole armor of God, so that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the Accuser.

and also for me; that language may be given me, in the opening of my mouth; so that I may boldly proclaim the mystery of the gospel,

so that ye may discern the things that are suitable; and may be pure and without offence, in the day of the Messiah,

so that my bonds, on account of the Messiah, are matter of notoriety in all the court, and to all others.

So that I hope and expect, that I shall in nothing be put to shame; but with uncovered face, as at all times, so now, the Messiah will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.

so that when I come again to you, your glorying, which is in Jesus the Messiah only, will abound through me.

Let your conduct be as becometh the gospel of the Messiah; so that if I come I may see you, and if absent I may hear of you, that ye stand fast in one spirit and in one soul, and that ye strive together in the faith of the gospel.
