I do not cease to give thanks for you when I remember you in my prayers.

from whom every family in heaven and on the earth is named.

for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may be able to speak boldly as I ought to speak.

far above every rule and authority and power and dominion and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come.

I became a servant of this gospel according to the gift of God’s grace that was given to me by the exercise of his power.

From him the whole body grows, fitted and held together through every supporting ligament. As each one does its part, the body grows in love.
