Which in ages past was not made known to the sons of men, as it is now revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;

That the Gentiles should be fellow heirs and partakers of his body and of the promise which is given through him by the gospel,

Of that very gospel, I have been a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given to me by the effectual working of his power.

In whom we have freedom of access with confidence in his faith.

To grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit;

Now to him who is able by power to do for us more than anyone else, and to do for us more than we ask or think, according to his mighty power that works in us,

Wherefore you must put away from you lying, and speak the truth every man with his neighbor: for we are members one of another.

From henceforth let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labor with his hands and do good deeds, that he may have something to give to him who is in need.

Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ loved his church, and gave himself for it;

This is a great mystery; but I speak concerning Christ and his church.

Nevertheless, let every one of you so love his wife as himself, and the wife see that she reverence her husband.

From henceforth, my brethren, be strong in our LORD, and in the power of his might.

For it has been given to you, not only to believe in Christ, but also to suffer for his sake.

Do nothing through strife or vain glory; but in humility let each regard his neighbor better than himself.
