 be the ,god and ,father of our ,lord   
,jesus ,christ1          who has blessed
 us with every spiritual blessing in the
 heavenly          places in ,christ2   
#jja3jjd even as he chose us in him     
before the foundation of the world1     
that we would be holy and without       
blemish before him in love2  #jja3jje   
having predestined us for adoption as   
children through ,jesus ,christ         
to himself1 according to the good       
pleasure of his desire1  #jja3jjf to the
 praise of the glory of his grace1 by   
which he freely          bestowed favor 
on us in the ,beloved1  #jja3jjg in whom
 we have our redemption through his     

blood1 the forgiveness          of our  
trespasses1 according to the riches of  
his grace1  #jja3jjh which he made to   
abound toward us in all wisdom and      
prudence1  #jja3jji making known to us  
the mystery of his will1 according to   
his          good pleasure which he     
purposed in him  #jja3jaj to an         
administration of the fullness of the   
times1          to sum up all things in 
,christ1 the things in the heavens1     
and the things on the earth1 in him2    
#jja3jaa in whom also we were assigned  
an inheritance1 having been             
foreordained according to the purpose of
 him who works all          things after
 the counsel of his will2  #jja3jab to  
the end that we should be to the praise 
of his glory1          we who had before
 hoped in ,christ3  #jja3jac in whom you
 also1 having heard the word of the     
truth1          the ,good ,news of your 
salvation1--in whom1 having also        
believed1          you were sealed with 
the ,holy ,spirit of promise1  #jja3jad 

who is a pledge of our inheritance1 to  
the redemption of ,god's          own   
possession1 to the praise of his glory4 
#jja3jae ,for this cause ,i also1 having
 heard of the faith in the ,lord ,jesus 
which is among you1 and the love which  
you have toward          all the saints1
  #jja3jaf don't cease to give thanks   
for you1 making mention of you          
in my prayers1  #jja3jag that the ,god  
of our ,lord ,jesus ,christ1 the ,father
 of glory1          may give to you a   
spirit of wisdom and revelation in the  
knowledge of him2  #jja3jah having the  
eyes of your hearts,,tr reads           
understanding          instead of hearts
 enlightened1 that you may know what is 
the hope of his calling1 and what are   
the riches of the glory          of his 
inheritance in the saints1  #jja3jai and
 what is the exceeding greatness of his 
power toward us          who believe1   
according to that working of the        
strength          of his might  #jja3jbj
 which he worked in ,christ1 when he    

raised him from the dead1          and  
made him to sit at his right hand in the
 heavenly places1  #jja3jba far above   
all rule1 and authority1 and power1 and 
dominion1          and every name that  
is named1 not only in this age1         
but also in that which is to come4      
#jja3jbb ,he put all things in          
subjection under his feet1 and gave him 
to be head over all things for the      
assembly1  #jja3jbc which is his body1  
the fullness of him who fills all in    
all4  #jjb3jja ,you were made alive when
 you were dead in transgressions and    
sins1  #jjb3jjb in which you once walked
 according to the course of this world1 
according to the prince of the powers of
 the air1 the spirit          who now   
works in the children of disobedience2  
#jjb3jjc among whom we also all once    
lived in the lust of our flesh1         
doing the desires of the flesh and of   
the mind1 and were          by nature   
children of wrath1 even as the rest4    
#jjb3jjd ,but ,god1 being rich in mercy1

 for his great love with which          
he loved us1  #jjb3jje even when we were
 dead through our trespasses1 made us   
alive          together with ,christ 7by
 grace you have been saved71  #jjb3jjf  
and raised us up with him1 and made us  
to sit with him          in the heavenly
 places in ,christ ,jesus1  #jjb3jjg    
that in the ages to come he might show  
the exceeding riches          of his    
grace in kindness toward us in ,christ  
,jesus2  #jjb3jjh for by grace you have 
been saved through faith1 and that not  
of yourselves2 it is the gift of ,god1  
#jjb3jji not of works1 that no one would
 boast4  #jjb3jaj ,for we are his       
workmanship1 created in ,christ ,jesus  
for good works1          which ,god     
prepared before that we would walk in   
them4  #jjb3jaa ,therefore remember that
 once you1 the ,gentiles in the flesh1  
who are          called uncircumcision  
by that which is called circumcision1   
7in the flesh1 made by hands72  #jjb3jab
 that you were at that time separate    

from ,christ1 alienated from            
the commonwealth of ,israel1 and        
strangers from the covenants          of
 the promise1 having no hope and without
 ,god in the world4  #jjb3jac ,but now  
in ,christ ,jesus you who once were far 
off are made          near in the blood 
of ,christ4  #jjb3jad ,for he is our    
peace1 who made both one1 and broke down
 the middle          wall of partition1 
#jjb3jae having abolished in the flesh  
the hostility1 the law of               
commandments contained in ordinances1   
that he might create          in himself
 one new man of the two1 making peace2  
#jjb3jaf and might reconcile them both  
in one body to ,god through the cross1  
having killed the hostility thereby4    
#jjb3jag ,he came and preached peace to 
you who were far off and to             
those who were near4  #jjb3jah ,for     
through him we both have our access in  
one ,spirit          to the ,father4    
#jjb3jai ,so then you are no longer     
strangers and foreigners1 but you are   

fellow citizens with the saints1 and of 
the household of ,god1  #jjb3jbj being  
built on the foundation of the apostles 
and prophets1          ,christ ,jesus   
himself being the chief cornerstone2    
#jjb3jba in whom the whole building1    
fitted together1 grows into a holy      
temple in the ,lord2  #jjb3jbb in whom  
you also are built together for a       
habitation of ,god          in the      
,spirit4  #jjc3jja ,for this cause ,i1  
,paul1 am the prisoner of ,christ ,jesus
 on          behalf of you ,gentiles1   
#jjc3jjb if it is so that you have heard
 of the administration of that          
grace of ,god which was given me toward 
you2  #jjc3jjc how that by revelation   
the mystery was made known to me1       
as ,i wrote before in few words1        
#jjc3jjd by which1 when you read1 you   
can perceive my understanding           
in the mystery of ,christ2  #jjc3jje    
which in other generations was not made 
known to the children          of men1  
as it has now been revealed to his holy 

apostles          and prophets in the   
,spirit2  #jjc3jjf that the ,gentiles   
are fellow heirs1 and fellow members of 
the body1          and fellow partakers 
of his promise in ,christ ,jesus through
          the ,good ,news1  #jjc3jjg of 
which ,i was made a servant1 according  
to the gift of that          grace of   
,god which was given me according to the
 working          of his power4         
#jjc3jjh ,to me1 the very least of all  
saints1 was this grace given1           
to preach to the ,gentiles the          
unsearchable riches of ,christ1         
#jjc3jji and to make all men see what is
 the administration,,tr          reads  
fellowship instead of administration of 
the mystery          which for ages has 
been hidden in ,god1 who created all    
things          through ,jesus ,christ2 
#jjc3jaj to the intent that now through 
the assembly the manifold wisdom        
of ,god might be made known to the      
principalities and the powers           
in the heavenly places1  #jjc3jaa       

according to the eternal purpose which  
he purposed in          ,christ ,jesus  
our ,lord2  #jjc3jab in whom we have    
boldness and access in confidence       
through our          faith in him4      
#jjc3jac ,therefore ,i ask that you may 
not lose heart at my troubles           
for you1 which are your glory4  #jjc3jad
 ,for this cause1 ,i bow my knees to the
 ,father of our          ,lord ,jesus   
,christ1  #jjc3jae from whom every      
family in heaven and on earth is named1 
#jjc3jaf that he would grant you1       
according to the riches of his glory1   
that you may be strengthened with power 
through his ,spirit          in the     
inward man2  #jjc3jag that ,christ may  
dwell in your hearts through faith2 to  
the end          that you1 being rooted 
and grounded in love1  #jjc3jah may be  
strengthened to comprehend with all the 
saints what is          the breadth and 
length and height and depth1  #jjc3jai  
and to know ,christ's love which        
surpasses knowledge1 that you           

may be filled with all the fullness of  
,god4  #jjc3jbj ,now to him who is able 
to do exceedingly abundantly above all  
that we ask or think1 according to the  
power that works in us1  #jjc3jba to him
 be the glory in the assembly and in    
,christ ,jesus to all                   
generations forever and ever4  ,amen4   
#jjd3jja ,i therefore1 the prisoner in  
the ,lord1 beg you to walk worthily     
of the calling with which you were      
called1  #jjd3jjb with all lowliness and
 humility1 with patience1 bearing with  
one another in love2  #jjd3jjc being    
eager to keep the unity of the ,spirit  
in the bond of peace4  #jjd3jjd ,there  
is one body1 and one ,spirit1 even as   
you also were called          in one    
hope of your calling2  #jjd3jje one     
,lord1 one faith1 one baptism1  #jjd3jjf
 one ,god and ,father of all1 who is    
over all1 and through all1          and 
in us all4  #jjd3jjg ,but to each one of
 us was the grace given according to the
 measure          of the gift of        

,christ4  #jjd3jjh ,therefore he says1  
,when he ascended on high1 he led       
captivity captive1 and gave gifts to    
men4,psalm #fh3ah  #jjd3jji ,now this1  
,he ascended1 what is it but that he    
also first          descended into the  
lower parts of the earth8  #jjd3jaj ,he 
who descended is the one who also       
ascended far above all          the     
heavens1 that he might fill all things4 
#jjd3jaa ,he gave some to be apostles2  
and some1 prophets2 and some1           
evangelists2 and some1 shepherdsor1     
pastors and teachers2  #jjd3jab for the 
perfecting of the saints1 to the work of
 serving1          to the building up of
 the body of ,christ2  #jjd3jac until we
 all attain to the unity of the faith1  
and of          the knowledge of the    
,son of ,god1 to a full grown man1      
to the measure of the stature of the    
fullness of ,christ2  #jjd3jad that we  
may no longer be children1 tossed back  
and forth and carried          about    
with every wind of doctrine1 by the     

trickery of men1          in craftiness1
 after the wiles of error2  #jjd3jae but
 speaking truth in love1 we may grow up 
in all things into him1          who is 
the head1 ,christ2  #jjd3jaf from whom  
all the body1 being fitted and knit     
together through          that which    
every joint supplies1 according to the  
working          in measure of each     
individual part1 makes the body increase
          to the building up of itself  
in love4  #jjd3jag ,this ,i say         
therefore1 and testify in the ,lord1    
that you          no longer walk as the 
rest of the ,gentiles also walk1        
in the futility of their mind1  #jjd3jah
 being darkened in their understanding1 
alienated from          the life of     
,god1 because of the ignorance that is  
in them1          because of the        
hardening of their hearts2  #jjd3jai who
 having become callous gave themselves  
up to lust1 to work          all        
uncleanness with greediness4  #jjd3jbj  
,but you did not learn ,christ that way2

  #jjd3jba if indeed you heard him1 and 
were taught in him1 even as truth       
is in ,jesus3  #jjd3jbb that you put    
away1 as concerning your former way of  
life1          the old man1 that grows  
corrupt after the lusts of deceit2      
#jjd3jbc and that you be renewed in the 
spirit of your mind1  #jjd3jbd and put  
on the new man1 who in the likeness of  
,god has been          created in       
righteousness and holiness of truth4    
#jjd3jbe ,therefore1 putting away       
falsehood1 speak truth each one with    
his neighbor4  ,for we are members of   
one another4  #jjd3jbf ,be angry1 and   
don't sin4,psalm #d3d ,don't let the sun
 go          down on your wrath1        
#jjd3jbg neither give place to the      
devil4  #jjd3jbh ,let him who stole     
steal no more2 but rather let him labor1
          working with his hands the    
thing that is good1 that he may         
have something to give to him who has   
need4  #jjd3jbi ,let no corrupt speech  
proceed out of your mouth1 but such as  

is          good for building up as the 
need may be1 that it may give           
grace to those who hear4  #jjd3jcj      
,don't grieve the ,holy ,spirit of ,god1
 in whom you were sealed          for   
the day of redemption4  #jjd3jca ,let   
all bitterness1 wrath1 anger1 outcry1   
and slander1          be put away from  
you1 with all malice4  #jjd3jcb ,and be 
kind to one another1 tenderhearted1     
forgiving each other1          just as  
,god also in ,christ forgave you4       
#jje3jja ,be therefore imitators of     
,god1 as beloved children4  #jje3jjb    
,walk in love1 even as ,christ also     
loved you1 and gave          himself up 
for us1 an offering and a sacrifice to  
,god for          a sweet-smelling      
fragrance4  #jje3jjc ,but sexual        
immorality1 and all uncleanness1 or     
covetousness1          let it not even  
be mentioned among you1 as becomes      
saints2  #jje3jjd nor filthiness1 nor   
foolish talking1 nor jesting1 which are 
not appropriate2 but rather giving of   

thanks4  #jje3jje ,know this for sure1  
that no sexually immoral person1        
nor unclean person1 nor covetous man1   
who is an idolater1          has any    
inheritance in the ,kingdom of ,christ  
and ,god4  #jje3jjf ,let no one deceive 
you with empty words4  ,for because of  
these things1          the wrath of ,god
 comes on the children of disobedience4 
#jje3jjg ,therefore don't be partakers  
with them4  #jje3jjh ,for you were once 
darkness1 but are now light in the      
,lord4          ,walk as children of    
light1  #jje3jji for the fruit of the   
,spirit is in all goodness and          
righteousness and truth1  #jje3jaj      
proving what is well pleasing to the    
,lord4  #jje3jaa ,have no fellowship    
with the unfruitful works of darkness1  
but rather even reprove them4  #jje3jab 
,for the things which are done by them  
in secret1 it is a shame          even  
to speak of4  #jje3jac ,but all things1 
when they are reproved1 are revealed by 
the light1          for everything that 

reveals is light4  #jje3jad ,therefore  
he says1 ,awake1 you who sleep1 and     
arise from the dead1          and       
,christ will shine on you4  #jje3jae    
,therefore watch carefully how you walk1
 not as unwise1          but as wise2   
#jje3jaf redeeming the time1 because the
 days are evil4  #jje3jag ,therefore    
don't be foolish1 but understand what   
the will          of the ,lord is4      
#jje3jah ,don't be drunken with wine1 in
 which is dissipation1 but be           
filled with the ,spirit1  #jje3jai      
speaking to one another in psalms1      
hymns1 and spiritual songs2             
singing1 and singing praises in your    
heart to the ,lord2  #jje3jbj giving    
thanks always concerning all things in  
the name of our          ,lord ,jesus   
,christ1 to ,god1 even the ,father2     
#jje3jba subjecting yourselves one to   
another in the fear of ,christ4         
#jje3jbb ,wives1 be subject to your own 
husbands1 as to the ,lord4  #jje3jbc    
,for the husband is the head of the     

wife1 and ,christ also is          the  
head of the assembly1 being himself the 
savior of the body4  #jje3jbd ,but as   
the assembly is subject to ,christ1 so  
let the wives          also be to their 
own husbands in everything4  #jje3jbe   
,husbands1 love your wives1 even as     
,christ also loved the assembly1        
and gave himself up for it2  #jje3jbf   
that he might sanctify it1 having       
cleansed it by the washing          of  
water with the word1  #jje3jbg that he  
might present the assembly to himself   
gloriously1          not having spot or 
wrinkle or any such thing2 but that it  
should be holy and without blemish4     
#jje3jbh ,even so husbands also ought to
 love their own wives as their          
own bodies4  ,he who loves his own wife 
loves himself4  #jje3jbi ,for no man    
ever hated his own flesh2 but nourishes 
and cherishes it1          even as the  
,lord also does the assembly2  #jje3jcj 
because we are members of his body1 of  
his flesh and bones4  #jje3jca ,for this

 cause a man will leave his father and  
mother1          and will be joined to  
his wife4  ,the two will become         
one flesh4,genesis #b3bd  #jje3jcb ,this
 mystery is great1 but ,i speak         
concerning ,christ and          of the  
assembly4  #jje3jcc ,nevertheless each  
of you must also love his own wife even 
as himself2          and let the wife   
see that she respects her husband4      
#jjf3jja ,children1 obey your parents in
 the ,lord1 for this is right4  #jjf3jjb
 ,honor your father and mother1 which is
 the first commandment          with a  
promise3  #jjf3jjc that it may be well  
with you1 and you may live long on      
the earth4,deuteronomy #e3af  #jjf3jjd  
,you fathers1 don't provoke your        
children to wrath1 but nurture          
them in the discipline and instruction  
of the ,lord4  #jjf3jje ,servants1 be   
obedient to those who according to the  
flesh          are your masters1 with   
fear and trembling1 in singleness       
of your heart1 as to ,christ2  #jjf3jjf 

not in the way of service only when eyes
 are on you1 as men pleasers2           
but as servants of ,christ1 doing the   
will of ,god from the heart2  #jjf3jjg  
with good will doing service1 as to the 
,lord1 and not to men2  #jjf3jjh knowing
 that whatever good thing each one does1
 he will receive          the same again
 from the ,lord1 whether he is bound or 
free4  #jjf3jji ,you masters1 do the    
same things to them1 and give up        
threatening1          knowing that he   
who is both their ,master and yours is  
in heaven1          and there is no     
partiality with him4  #jjf3jaj ,finally1
 be strong in the ,lord1 and in the     
strength of his might4  #jjf3jaa ,put on
 the whole armor of ,god1 that you may  
be able to stand          against the   
wiles of the devil4  #jjf3jab ,for our  
wrestling is not against flesh and      
blood1 but against          the         
principalities1 against the powers1     
against the world's          rulers of  
the darkness of this age1 and against   

the spiritual          forces of        
wickedness in the heavenly places4      
#jjf3jac ,therefore1 put on the whole   
armor of ,god1 that you may be able     
to withstand in the evil day1 and1      
having done all1 to stand4  #jjf3jad
