to him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know our circumstances and that he may encourage your hearts.

– 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,

when he nullified in his flesh the law of commandments in decrees. He did this to create in himself one new man out of two, thus making peace,

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.
