It was he<n id="1" /> who gave some as apostles, some as prophets, some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers,<n id="2" />

so that we, who were the first to set our hope<n id="1" /> on Christ,<n id="2" /> would be to the praise of his glory.

by fitting your<n id="1" /> feet with the preparation that comes from the good news<n id="2" /> of peace,<n id="3" />

And God<n id="1" /> <i>puti><n id="2" /> <i>all things underi> Christ&#8217;s<n id="3" /> <i>feeti>,<n id="4" /> and he gave him to the church as head over all things.<n id="5" />

and to reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, by which the hostility has been killed.<n id="1" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">For this reason,<n id="1" /> because I<n id="2" /> have heard<n id="3" /> of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love<n id="4" /> for all the saints,

and what is the incomparable<n id="1" /> greatness of his power toward<n id="2" /> us who believe, as displayed in<n id="3" /> the exercise of his immense strength.<n id="4" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">Let nobody deceive you with empty words, for because of these things God&#8217;s wrath comes on the sons of disobedience.<n id="1" />

&#8211; since the eyes of your<n id="1" /> heart have been enlightened<n id="2" /> &#8211; so that you may know what is the hope of his calling,<n id="3" /> what is the wealth of his glorious<n id="4" /> inheritance in the saints,

when he nullified<n id="1" /> in his flesh the law of commandments in decrees. He did this to create in himself one new man<n id="2" /> out of two,<n id="3" /> thus making peace,

For our struggle<n id="1" /> is not against flesh and blood,<n id="2" /> but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world rulers of this darkness,<n id="3" /> against the spiritual forces<n id="4" /> of evil in the heavens.<n id="5" />
