And my God will fill your every need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

For this cause also, from the day in which we heard, we do not cease praying on your behalf, and asking that you may be filled with the full knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding,

being empowered with all power according to the might of His glory, to all patience and long-suffering with joy;

who delivered us out of the authority of darkness, and translated us into the kingdom of the Son of His love,

in whom we have redemption through His blood, the remission of sins;

and through Him making peace by the blood of His cross, to reconcile all things to Himself; through Him, whether the things on the earth, or the things in the heavens.

in the body of His flesh, through death, to present you holy and without blemish and irreproachable before Him,

who now rejoice in my sufferings on your behalf and fill up in my flesh the things lacking of the afflictions of Christ on behalf of His body, which is the assembly,

the mystery having been hidden from the ages and from the generations, but now was revealed to His saints;

Let no one condemn you, delighting in humility and worship of the angels, pushing into things which he has not seen, being puffed up by the mind of his flesh without cause,

Do not lie to one another, having put off the old man with his practices,

Greet the brothers in Laodicea, and Nymphas and the assembly in his house.

and to await His Son from Heaven, whom He raised from the dead, Jesus, the One delivering us from the coming wrath.

even as you know each one of you how, as a father to his children, exhorting and consoling you,

testifying for you to walk worthily of God, the One calling you to His kingdom and glory.

For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of glorying? Are not even you, before our Lord Jesus Christ at His coming?

in order to establish your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and our Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all His saints.

each one of you to know to possess his vessel in sanctification and honor,

not to go beyond and to overreach his brother in the matter, because the avenger concerning all these is the Lord, even as we told you before, and solemnly testified.

Therefore, the one that despises does not despise man, but God, even He giving His Holy Spirit to us.
