From now on, let no man trouble me; for I bear branded on my body the marks of Jesus.

For this cause I also, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which is among you, and the love which [you show] toward all the saints,

do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention [of you] in my prayers;

but God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us,

for by grace have you been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, [it is] the gift of God;

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared in advance that we should walk in them.

For he is our peace, who made both one, and in his flesh broke down the middle wall of partition, the enmity.

for through him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.

and to make all men see what is the dispensation of the mystery which for ages has been hid in God who created all things;

Therefore I ask that you may not faint at my tribulations for you, which are your glory.

For this cause I bow my knees to the Father,

for the perfecting of the saints, to the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ:

For this you know for sure, that anyone who is a fornicator, or unclean, or greedy (that is, an idolater) has no inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.

Let no man deceive you with empty words: for because of these things the wrath of God comes on the sons of disobedience.

For you were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord: walk as children of light,

-for the fruit of the light is in all goodness and righteousness and truth-
