of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ,
who
has
blessed

with

has
chosen
us
in
him
before [the] world's
foundation,
that
we
should
be
holy
and
blameless

has
put

{\BD{
you}},
being
dead
in
your offences
and
sins —
\VS{2}in
which ye
once
walked
according
to
the
age
of
this
world,
according
to
the
ruler
of
the
authority
of
the
air,
the
spirit
who
now
works
in
the
sons
of
disobedience:
\VS{3}among
whom
{\BD{
we}}
also
all
once
had
our conversation
in
the
lusts
of
our
flesh,
doing
what
the
flesh
and
the
thoughts willed
to
do,
and
were
children,
by
nature,
of
wrath,
even
as
the
rest:
\VS{4}but
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 2:4 }
Elohim}God,
being
rich
in
mercy,
because
of
his
great
love wherewith
he
loved
us,
\VS{5}(we
too
being
dead
in offences,)
has quickened
us
with
the
Christ, (ye
are
saved
by
grace,)
\VS{6}and
has
raised [us] up
together,
and
has made [us] sit
down
together
in
the heavenlies
in
Christ
Jesus,
\VS{7}that
he
might display
in
the
coming
ages
the
surpassing
riches
of
his
grace
in
kindness towards
us
in
Christ
Jesus.
\VS{8}For ye
are
saved
by
grace,
through
faith;
and
this
not
of
yourselves;
it
is
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 2:8 }
Elohim}God's
gift:
\VS{9}not
on
the principle
of
works,
that
no
one
might
boast.
\VS{10}For
we
are
his
workmanship, having
been
created
in
Christ
Jesus
for
good
works,
which
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 2:10 }
Elohim}God
has
before
prepared
that
we
should
walk
in
them.
\VS{11}Wherefore
remember
that
{\BD{ye}},
once
nations
in [the]
flesh,
who [are]
called
uncircumcision
by
that
called
circumcision
in [the]
flesh done
with
the hand;
\VS{12}that ye
were
at
that
time
without
Christ, aliens
from
the
commonwealth
of
Israel,
and
strangers
to
the
covenants
of
promise,
having
no
hope,
and
without
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 2:12 }
Elohim}God
in
the
world:
\VS{13}but
now
in
Christ
Jesus
{\BD{ye}}
who
once
were afar
off
are
become nigh
by
the
blood
of
the
Christ.
\VS{14}For
{\BD{
he}}
is
our
peace,
who
has
made
both
one,
and
has
broken
down
the middle
wall
of enclosure,
\VS{15}having annulled
the enmity
in
his
flesh,
the
law
of
commandments
in
ordinances,
that
he might form
the
two
in
himself
into
one
new
man,
making
peace;
\VS{16}and
might
reconcile
both
in
one
body
to
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 2:16 }
Elohim}God
by
the
cross, having
by
it slain
the enmity;
\VS{17}and,
coming,
he
has
preached
the glad tidings
of
peace
to
you
who [were] afar
off,
and [the glad tidings
of]
peace
to
those [who
were] nigh.
\VS{18}For
through
him
we
have
both
access
by
one
Spirit
to
the
Father.
\VS{19}So
then ye
are
no
longer
strangers
and
foreigners,
but ye
are fellow-citizens
of
the
saints,
and
of
the
household
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 2:19 }
Elohim}God,
\VS{20}being
built
upon
the
foundation
of
the

Jesus
Christ
himself
being
the corner-stone,
\VS{21}in
whom
all [the]
building
fitted
together increases
to
a
holy
temple
in
the
Lord;
\VS{22}in

Paul,

for

\VS{2}(if
indeed ye
have
heard
of
the
administration

the
grace

Elohim}God
which
has been
given
to
me towards
you,
\VS{3}that

made
known
to

as
I
have
written
before
briefly,
\VS{4}by
which,
in
reading
it, ye
can
understand
my intelligence
in
the
mystery
of

\VS{5}which
in

generations
has
not
been
made
known

as
it
has
now
been
revealed
to

grace
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 3:7 }

to
the
working

me, less than
the
least
of

has
this
grace
been
given,
to announce among

the glad tidings
of
the unsearchable
riches
of

to enlighten
all [with
the knowledge

what
is
the

mystery
hidden
throughout
the
ages
in
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 3:9 }
Elohim}God,
who
has
created
all
things,
\VS{10}in
order
that
now
to
the
principalities

in

might
be
made
known
through

wisdom
of

in

have
boldness

I beseech [you]
not
to faint
through

\par }\Chap{4}{\PP \VerseOne{1}{\BD{
I}},
the
prisoner
in [the]
Lord,
exhort
you
therefore
to
walk
worthy
of
the
calling wherewith ye
have
been
called,
\VS{2}with
all lowliness
and
meekness,
with long-suffering,
bearing
with
one
another
in
love;
\VS{3}using diligence
to
keep
the
unity
of
the
Spirit
in
the uniting
bond
of
peace.
\VS{4}[There
is]
one
body
and
one
Spirit,
as ye
have
been
also
called
in
one
hope
of
your
calling;
\VS{5}one
Lord,
one
faith,
one
baptism;
\VS{6}one
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 4:6 }
Elohim}God
and
Father
of
all,
who
is
over
all,
and
through
all,
and
in
us
all.
\VS{7}But
to
each
one
of
us
has
been
given
grace
according
to
the
measure
of
the
gift
of
the
Christ.
\VS{8}Wherefore
he
says, Having
ascended
up
on
high,
he
has
led
captivity
captive,
and
has
given
gifts
to
men.
\VS{9}But
that
he
ascended,
what
is
it
but
that
he
also
descended
into
the lower
parts
of
the
earth?
\VS{10}He
that
descended
is
the
same
who
has
also
ascended
up
above
all
the
heavens,
that
he
might
fill
all
things;
\VS{11}and
{\BD{
he}}
has
given
some
apostles,
and
some
prophets,
and
some
evangelists,
and
some
shepherds
and
teachers,
\VS{12}for
the perfecting
of
the
saints;
with
a
view
to [the]
work
of [the]
ministry,
with
a
view
to
the
edifying
of
the
body
of
Christ;
\VS{13}until
we
all arrive
at
the unity
of
the
faith
and
of
the
knowledge
of
the
Son
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 4:13 }
Elohim}God,
at [the] full-grown
man,
at [the]
measure
of
the
stature
of
the fulness
of
the
Christ;
\VS{14}in
order
that
we
may
be
no
longer babes,
tossed
and
carried
about
by
every
wind
of
{\BD{
that}}
teaching [which
is]
in
the sleight
of
men,
in unprincipled cunning
with
a view
to systematized
error;
\VS{15}but, holding
the
truth
in
love,
we
may
grow
up
to
him
in
all
things,
who
is
the
head,
the
Christ:
\VS{16}from
whom
the
whole
body,
fitted
together,
and connected
by
every
joint
of supply,
according
to [the]
working
in [its]
measure
of
each
one
part, works
for
itself
the increase
of
the
body
to
its self-building
up
in
love.
\VS{17}This
I
say
therefore,
and
testify
in [the]
Lord,
that ye
should
no
longer
walk
as [the rest
of]
the
nations
walk
in [the]
vanity
of
their
mind,
\VS{18}being
darkened
in
understanding, estranged
from
the
life
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 4:18 }
Elohim}God
by
reason
of
the
ignorance
which
is
in
them,
by
reason
of
the
hardness
of
their
hearts,
\VS{19}who having cast off
all feeling,
have
given
themselves
up
to lasciviousness,
to work
all
uncleanness
with greedy unsatisfied lust.
\VS{20}But
{\BD{ye}}
have
not
thus learnt
the
Christ,
\VS{21}if ye
have
heard
him
and
been
instructed
in
him according
as [the]
truth
is
in
Jesus;
\VS{22}[namely]
your having
put
off
according
to
the
former conversation
the
old
man
which
corrupts itself
according
to
the deceitful
lusts;
\VS{23}and
being
renewed
in
the
spirit
of
your
mind;
\VS{24}and [your] having
put
on
the
new
man,
which
according
to
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 4:24 }
Elohim}God
is
created
in
truthful
righteousness
and
holiness.
\VS{25}Wherefore, having
put off
falsehood,
speak
truth
every
one
with
his neighbour,
because
we
are
members
one
of
another.
\VS{26}Be
angry,
and
do
not
sin;
let
not
the
sun set
upon
your wrath,
\VS{27}neither
give
room
for
the
devil.
\VS{28}Let
the stealer
steal
no
more,
but
rather
let
him
toil,
working
what
is honest
with [his]
hands,
that
he
may
have
to distribute
to
him
that
has
need.
\VS{29}Let
no corrupt
word
go
out
of
your
mouth,
but
if [there
be]
any
good
one
for needful
edification,
that
it
may
give
grace
to
those
that
hear [it].
\VS{30}And
do
not
grieve
the
Holy
Spirit
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 4:30 }
Elohim}God,
with
which ye
have
been
sealed
for [the]
day
of
redemption.
\VS{31}Let
all
bitterness,
and heat
of
passion,
and
wrath,
and clamour,
and injurious
language,
be
removed
from
you,
with
all
malice;

be
to
one
another
kind,
compassionate,
forgiving
one
another,
so
as
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 4:32 }
Elohim}God
also
in
Christ
has
forgiven
you.

\par }\Chap{5}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Be ye
therefore
imitators
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 5:1 }
Elohim}God,
as
beloved
children,
\VS{2}and
walk
in
love,
even
as
the
Christ
loved
us,
and
delivered
himself
up
for
us,
an
offering
and
sacrifice
to
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 5:2 }
Elohim}God
for
a sweet-smelling savour.
\VS{3}But
fornication
and
all
uncleanness
or unbridled lust,
let
it
not
be
even
named
among
you,
as
it becomes
saints;
\VS{4}and
filthiness
and foolish talking,
or
jesting,
which
are
not convenient;
but
rather
thanksgiving.
\VS{5}For
this ye
are [well] informed
of,
knowing
that
no fornicator,
or
unclean
person,
or
person
of unbridled lust,
who
is
an
idolater,
has
inheritance
in
the
kingdom
of
the
Christ
and
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 5:5 }
Elohim}God.
\VS{6}Let
no
one
deceive
you
with
vain
words,
for
on
account
of
these
things
the
wrath
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 5:6 }
Elohim}God
comes
upon
the
sons
of
disobedience.
\VS{7}Be
not ye
therefore fellow-partakers
with
them;
\VS{8}for ye
were
once
darkness,
but
now
light
in [the]
Lord;
walk
as
children
of
light,
\VS{9}(for
the
fruit
of
the
light [is]
in
all
goodness
and
righteousness
and
truth,)
\VS{10}proving
what
is agreeable
to
the
Lord;
\VS{11}and
do
not
have fellowship
with
the
unfruitful
works
of
darkness,
but
rather
also
reprove [them],
\VS{12}for
the
things
that
are
done
by
them
in secret
it
is
shameful
even
to
say.
\VS{13}But
all
things having
their true character
exposed
by
the
light
are
made
manifest;
for
that
which makes
everything
manifest
is
light.
\VS{14}Wherefore
he
says, Wake
up, [thou]
that sleepest,
and
arise
up
from
among
the
dead,
and
the
Christ
shall
shine
upon thee.
\VS{15}See
therefore
how ye
walk
carefully,
not
as
unwise
but
as
wise,
\VS{16}redeeming
the
time,
because
the
days
are
evil.
\VS{17}For
this
reason
be
not
foolish,
but
understanding
what [is]
the
will
of
the
Lord.
\VS{18}And
be
not
drunk
with
wine,
in
which
is
debauchery;
but
be
filled
with
the
Spirit,
\VS{19}speaking
to
yourselves
in
psalms
and
hymns
and
spiritual
songs,
singing
and chanting
with
your
heart
to
the
Lord;
\VS{20}giving
thanks
at
all
times
for
all
things
to
him [who
is]
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 5:20 }
Elohim}God
and [the]
Father
in
the
name
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ,
\VS{21}submitting
yourselves
to
one
another
in [the]
fear
of
Christ.
\VS{22}Wives, [submit yourselves]
to
your
own
husbands,
as
to
the
Lord,
\VS{23}for
a
husband
is
head
of
the
wife,
as
also
the
Christ [is]
head
of
the
assembly.
{\BD{
He}} [is] Saviour
of
the
body.
\VS{24}But
even
as
the
assembly
is
subjected
to
the
Christ,
so
also
wives
to
their own
husbands
in
everything.
\VS{25}Husbands,
love
your
own
wives,
even
as
the
Christ
also
loved
the
assembly,
and
has
delivered
himself
up
for
it,
\VS{26}in
order
that
he might
sanctify
it, purifying [it]
by
the
washing
of
water
by [the]
word,
\VS{27}that
{\BD{
he}}
might
present
the
assembly
to
himself
glorious,
having
no
spot,
or
wrinkle,
or
any
of
such
things;
but
that
it
might
be
holy
and
blameless.
\VS{28}So
ought
men
also
to
love
their
own
wives
as
their
own
bodies:
he
that
loves
his
own
wife
loves
himself.
\VS{29}For
no
one
has
ever
hated
his
own
flesh,
but
nourishes
and
cherishes
it,
even
as
also
the
Christ
the
assembly:
\VS{30}for
we
are
members
of
his
body; [we
are
of
his flesh,
and
of
his bones.]
\VS{31}Because
of
this
a
man
shall
leave
his
father
and
mother,
and
shall
be united
to
his
wife,
and
the
two
shall
be
one
flesh.
\VS{32}This
mystery
is
great,
but
{\BD{
I}}
speak
as
to
Christ,
and
as
to
the
assembly.
\VS{33}But
{\BD{ye}}
also,
every
one
of
you,
let
each
so
love
his
own
wife
as
himself;
but
as
to
the
wife [I speak]
that
she
may
fear
the
husband.

\par }\Chap{6}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Children,
obey
your
parents
in [the]
Lord,
for
this
is
just.
\VS{2}Honour thy
father
and thy
mother,
which
is
the
first
commandment
with
a
promise,
\VS{3}that
it
may
be
well
with thee,
and
that thou mayest
be long-lived
on
the
earth.
\VS{4}And [ye]
fathers,
do
not
provoke
your
children
to
anger,
but
bring
them
up
in [the]
discipline
and admonition
of [the]
Lord.
\VS{5}Bondmen,
obey
masters
according
to
flesh,
with
fear
and
trembling,
in
simplicity
of
your
heart
as
to
the
Christ;
\VS{6}not
with eye-service
as
men-pleasers;
but
as bondmen
of
Christ,
doing
the
will
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 6:6 }
Elohim}God
from [the]
soul,
\VS{7}serving
with
good
will
as
to
the
Lord,
and
not
to
men;
\VS{8}knowing
that
whatever
good
each
shall
do,
this
he
shall
receive
of [the]
Lord,
whether bond
or
free.
\VS{9}And,
masters,
do
the
same
things towards
them,
giving
up
threatening,
knowing
that
both
their
and
your
Master
is
in
heaven,
and
there
is
no acceptance
of
persons
with
him.
\VS{10}For
the rest, brethren,
be
strong
in [the]
Lord,
and
in
the
might
of
his
strength.
\VS{11}Put
on
the panoply
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 6:11 }
Elohim}God,
that ye
may
be
able
to
stand
against
the artifices
of
the
devil:
\VS{12}because
our
struggle
is
not
against
blood
and
flesh,
but
against
principalities,
against
authorities,
against
the universal lords
of
this
darkness,
against
spiritual [power]
of
wickedness
in
the heavenlies.
\VS{13}For
this
reason
take [to
you]
the panoply
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 6:13 }
Elohim}God,
that ye
may
be
able
to withstand
in
the
evil
day,
and, having
accomplished
all
things,
to
stand.
\VS{14}Stand
therefore,
having girt
about
your
loins
with
truth,
and
having
put
on
the
breastplate
of
righteousness,
\VS{15}and
shod
your
feet
with [the]
preparation
of
the glad tidings
of
peace:
\VS{16}besides
all [these], having
taken
the
shield
of
faith
with
which ye
will
be
able
to
quench
all
the inflamed darts
of
the
wicked
one.
\VS{17}Have
also
the
helmet
of
salvation,
and
the
sword
of
the
Spirit,
which
is
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 6:17 }
Elohim}God's
word;
\VS{18}praying
at
all
seasons,
with
all
prayer
and
supplication
in [the]
Spirit,
and watching unto
this
very
thing
with
all
perseverance
and
supplication
for
all
the
saints;
\VS{19}and
for
me
in
order
that
utterance
may
be
given
to
me
in [the]
opening
of
my
mouth
to
make
known
with
boldness
the
mystery
of
the glad tidings,
\VS{20}for
which
I
am
an
ambassador [bound]
with
a
chain,
that
I
may
be bold
in
it
as
I
ought
to
speak.
\VS{21}But
in
order
that
{\BD{ye}}
also
may
know
what concerns
me,
how
I
am getting
on,
Tychicus,
the
beloved
brother
and
faithful
minister
in [the]
Lord,
shall
make
all
things
known
to
you;
\VS{22}whom
I
have
sent
to
you
for
this
very
thing,
that ye
may
know
of
our affairs
and
that
he
may
encourage
your
hearts.
\VS{23}Peace
to
the
brethren,
and
love
with
faith,
from
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 6:23 }
Elohim}God [the]
Father
and [the]
Lord
Jesus
Christ.
\VS{24}Grace
with
all
them
that
love
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
in incorruption.
