Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!

And he came and preached peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near,

But among you there must not be either sexual immorality, impurity of any kind, or greed, as these are not fitting for the saints.

Instead, be kind to one another, compassionate, forgiving one another, just as God in Christ also forgave you.

I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you spiritual wisdom and revelation in your growing knowledge of him,

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,

Tychicus, my dear brother and faithful servant in the Lord, will make everything known to you, so that you too may know about my circumstances, how I am doing.
