For it is by his grace we are rescued, through faith; and this is not of yourselves, but it is the gift of God:

For we are his creation; who are created in Jesus the Messiah, for good works, which God hath before prepared for us to walk in.

For he is himself our peace, who hath made the two [fn] one, and hath demolished the wall which stood in the midst, and the enmity, by his flesh;

because, by him there is access for us both, by one Spirit, unto the Father.

while ye also are builded in him, for a habitation of God through the Spirit.

On this account, I Paul am a prisoner of Jesus the Messiah, for the sake of you Gentiles:

and should show to all men what is the dispensation of the mystery, which for ages was hid up in God the Creator of all [fn] :

Therefore I pray, that I may not be discouraged by my afflictions, which are for your sakes; for this is your glory.

Now to him who is able, by his almighty power, to do for us even more than we ask or think, according to his power that worketh in us;

to him be glory, in his church, by Jesus the Messiah, in all generations, for ever and ever. Amen.

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

for perfecting the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edification of the body of the Messiah;

16 and from him [fn] , the whole body is framed together and compacted by all the junctures, according to the gift that is imparted by measure to each member, for the growth of the body; that his edifice may be perfected in love.

Wherefore, put away from you lying, and speak ye the truth each with his neighbor; for we are members one of another.

Let no hateful language come from your mouth, but that which is decorous, and useful for edification, that it may convey grace to those who hear.

And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed for the day of redemption.

and walk in love; as the Messiah also hath loved us, and hath given up himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God, for a sweet odor.

For this know ye, that every man who is a whoremonger, or impure, or avaricious, or a worshipper of idols, hath no inheritance in the kingdom of the Messiah and of God.

Let no man deceive you with vain words; for it is on account of these things that the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience.

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