On account of this I, Paulos, am bound for Jeshu Meshiha for the sake of you Gentiles:

if you have heard the dispensation of the grace of Aloha which was given me for you;

for this is your glory; and I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha,

But to Him who is able with power beyond all to do for us above what we ask or conceive, according to his power which worketh in us,

to Him be glory in his church, by Jeshu Meshiha, in all ages, for ever and ever. Amen.

I BESEECH of you, therefore, I, the bound one for our Lord, that you walk as is worthy of the calling wherewith you are called,

For one is the Lord, and one the faith, and one the baptism;

for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edification of the (church of the) Meshiha,

who is the head, by whom the whole body is increased and compacted in all the limbs, according to the gift which is given in proportion to every member for the increase of the body itself, that in love its structure might be completed.

WHEREFORE let lying cease from you, and speak the truth every man with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.

Let no hateful word come out of your mouth, but that which is comely and useful for edification, that it may communicate grace to those who hear.

and walk in love, as the Meshiha also loved us, and delivered himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to Aloha of a fragrant smell.

lest any man deceive you with vain words; for because of these cometh the anger of Aloha upon the sons of disobedience.

For you were before darkness, but now you are light in our Lord. As the sons of light, then, so walk.

For the fruits of the light are in all goodness and rectitude and truth.

For that which in secrecy they do it is execrable even to mention.

For every thing is exposed by the light, and is revealed, and whatever revealeth is light.

For the husband is the head of the wife, as the Meshiha is the head of the church, and he himself is the Saviour of the body.

Husbands, love your wives, as also the Meshiha loved his church, and gave himself for her,

So it becometh husbands to love their wives, as their own bodies. For he who his wife loveth, himself he loveth.
