for we are members of his body.

He did this when he revealed to us the secret of his will, according to his good pleasure that he set forth in Christ,

In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace

and what is the incomparable greatness of his power toward us who believe, as displayed in the exercise of his immense strength.

I pray that according to the wealth of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inner person,

to the praise of the glory of his grace that he has freely bestowed on us in his dearly loved Son.

so that we, who were the first to set our hope on Christ, would be to the praise of his glory.

in whom we have boldness and confident access to God because of Christ’s faithfulness.

Finally, be strengthened in the Lord and in the strength of his power.

– since the eyes of your heart have been enlightened – so that you may know what is the hope of his calling, what is the wealth of his glorious inheritance in the saints,

For he chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world that we may be holy and unblemished in his sight in love.

He did this by predestining us to adoption as his sons through Jesus Christ, according to the pleasure of his will –

who is the down payment of our inheritance, until the redemption of God’s own possession, to the praise of his glory.

This power he exercised in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms

And God put all things under Christ’s feet, and he gave him to the church as head over all things.

Now the church is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.

But God, being rich in mercy, because of his great love with which he loved us,

so that through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father.

because you have been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the cornerstone.

Therefore, having laid aside falsehood, each one of you speak the truth with his neighbor, for we are members of one another.
