In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;

Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:

In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:

Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints,

And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,

Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery;(as I wrote afore in few words,

Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.

According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:

That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;

Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,

But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.

From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.

That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;

And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

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

Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;

Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;

But that ye also may know my affairs, and how I do, Tychicus, a beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, shall make known to you all things:

But I would ye should understand, brethren, that the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel;

According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death.

Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.

Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee;

Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.

I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.

But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;

Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;

Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.

Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;

Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men?

And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:

Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.

Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God:

All my state shall Tychicus declare unto you, who is a beloved brother, and a faithful minister and fellowservant in the Lord:

Salute the brethren which are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the church which is in his house.

That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us.

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope;

According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.

This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare;

Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses.

I charge thee before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without preferring one before another, doing nothing by partiality.

If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus,
