The Blessings of Redemption

Paul 3972, an apostle 652 of Christ 5547 Jesus 2424 by the will 2307 of God 2316,
2 ¶ Grace 5485 to you and peace 1515 from God 2316 our Father 3962 and the Lord 2962 Jesus 2424 Christ 5547.
3 ¶ Blessed 2128 {be} the God 2316 and Father 3962 of our Lord 2962 Jesus 2424 Christ 5547, who has blessed 2127 us with every 3956 spiritual 4152 blessing 2129 in the heavenly 2032 {places} in Christ 5547,
4 just 2531 as He chose 1586 us in Him before 4253 the foundation 2602 of the world 2889, that we would be holy 40 and blameless 299 before 2714 Him. In love 26
5 He predestined 4309 us to adoption 5206 as sons 5206 through 1223 Jesus 2424 Christ 5547 to Himself 846, according 2596 to the kind 2107 intention 2107 of His will,
6 to the praise 1868 of the glory 1391 of His grace 5485, which 3739 He freely 5487 bestowed 5487 on us in the Beloved 25.
7 In Him we have 2192 redemption 629 through 1223 His blood 129, the forgiveness 859 of our trespasses 3900, according 2596 to the riches 4149 of His grace 5485
8 which 3739 He lavished 4052 on us. In all 3956 wisdom 4678 and insight 5428
9 He made 1107 known 1107 to us the mystery 3466 of His will, according 2596 to His kind 2107 intention 2107 which 3739 He purposed 4388 in Him
10 with a view 1519 to an administration 3622 suitable 3588 to the fullness 4138 of the times 2540, {that is,} the summing 346 up of all 3956 things 3956 in Christ 5547, things in the heavens 3772 and things on the earth 1093. In Him
11 also 2532 we have obtained 2820 an inheritance 2820, having been predestined 4309 according 2596 to His purpose 4286 who works 1754 all 3956 things 3956 after 2596 the counsel 1012 of His will,
12 to the end 1519 that we who were the first 4276 to hope 4276 in Christ 5547 would be to the praise 1868 of His glory 1391.
13 In Him, you also 2532, after listening 191 to the message 3056 of truth 225, the gospel 2098 of your salvation 4991--having also 2532 believed 4100, you were sealed 4972 in Him with the Holy 40 Spirit 4151 of promise 1860,
14 who 3739 is given 728 as a pledge 728 of our inheritance 2817, with a view 1519 to the redemption 629 of {God's own} possession 4047, to the praise 1868 of His glory 1391.
15 ¶ For this 3778 reason 1223 I too 2532, having heard 191 of the faith 4102 in the Lord 2962 Jesus 2424 which {exists} among 2596 you and your love 26 for all 3956 the saints 40,
16 do not cease 3973 giving 2168 thanks 2168 for you, while making 4160 mention 3417 {of you} in my prayers 4335;
17 that the God 2316 of our Lord 2962 Jesus 2424 Christ 5547, the Father 3962 of glory 1391, may give 1325 to you a spirit 4151 of wisdom 4678 and of revelation 602 in the knowledge 1922 of Him.
18 {I pray that} the eyes 3788 of your heart 2588 may be enlightened 5461, so 1519 that you will know 3609 what 5101 is the hope 1680 of His calling 2821, what 5101 are the riches 4149 of the glory 1391 of His inheritance 2817 in the saints 40,
19 and what 5101 is the surpassing 5235 greatness 3174 of His power 1411 toward 1519 us who believe 4100. {These are} in accordance 2596 with the working 1753 of the strength 2904 of His might 2479
20 which 3739 He brought 1754 about 1754 in Christ 5547, when He raised 1453 Him from the dead 3498 and seated 2523 Him at His right 1188 hand 1188 in the heavenly 2032 {places,}
21 far 5231 above 5231 all 3956 rule 746 and authority 1849 and power 1411 and dominion 2963, and every 3956 name 3686 that is named 3687, not only 3440 in this 3778 age 165 but also 2532 in the one to come 3195.
22 And He put 5293 all 3956 things 3956 in subjection 5293 under 5259 His feet 4228, and gave 1325 Him as head 2776 over 5228 all 3956 things 3956 to the church 1577,
23 which 3748 is His body 4983, the fullness 4138 of Him who fills 4137 all 3956 in all 3956.

Chapter 2

Made Alive in Christ

And you were dead 3498 in your trespasses 3900 and sins 266,
2 in which 3739 you formerly 4218 walked 4043 according 2596 to the course 165 of this 3778 world 2889, according 2596 to the prince 758 of the power 1849 of the air 109, of the spirit 4151 that is now 3568 working 1754 in the sons 5207 of disobedience 543.
3 Among 1722 them we too 2532 all 3956 formerly 4218 lived 390 in the lusts 1939 of our flesh 4561, indulging 4160 the desires 2307 of the flesh 4561 and of the mind 1271, and were by nature 5449 children 5043 of wrath 3709, even 2532 as the rest 3062.
4 But God 2316, being 1510 rich 4145 in mercy 1656, because 1223 of His great 4183 love 26 with which 3739 He loved 25 us,
5 even 2532 when we were dead 3498 in our transgressions 3900, made 4806 us alive 4806 together 4806 with Christ 5547 (by grace 5485 you have been 1510 saved 4982),
6 and raised 4891 us up with Him, and seated 4776 us with Him in the heavenly 2032 {places} in Christ 5547 Jesus 2424,
7 so 2443 that in the ages 165 to come 1904 He might show 1731 the surpassing 5235 riches 4149 of His grace 5485 in kindness 5544 toward 1909 us in Christ 5547 Jesus 2424.
8 For by grace 5485 you have been saved 4982 through 1223 faith 4102; and that not of yourselves 4771, {it is} the gift 1435 of God 2316;
9 not as a result 1537 of works 2041, so 2443 that no 3361 one 5100 may boast 2744.
10 For we are His workmanship 4161, created 2936 in Christ 5547 Jesus 2424 for good 18 works 2041, which 3739 God 2316 prepared 4282 beforehand 4282 so 2443 that we would walk 4043 in them.
11 ¶ Therefore 1352 remember 3421 that formerly 4218 you, the Gentiles 1484 in the flesh 4561, who are called 3004 "Uncircumcision 203" by the so-called 3004 "Circumcision 4061," {which is} performed 5499 in the flesh 4561 by human 5499 hands 5499--
12 {remember} that you were at that time 2540 separate 5565 from Christ 5547, excluded 526 from the commonwealth 4174 of Israel 2474, and strangers 3581 to the covenants 1242 of promise 1860, having 2192 no 3361 hope 1680 and without 112 God 112 in the world 2889.
13 But now 3570 in Christ 5547 Jesus 2424 you who 3739 formerly 4218 were far 3112 off 3112 have been 1096 brought 1096 near 1451 by the blood 129 of Christ 5547.
14 For He Himself 846 is our peace 1515, who made 4160 both 297 {groups into} one 1520 and broke 3089 down 3089 the barrier 5418 of the dividing 3320 wall 3320,
15 by abolishing 2673 in His flesh 4561 the enmity 2189, {which is} the Law 3551 of commandments 1785 {contained} in ordinances 1378, so 2443 that in Himself 846 He might make 2936 the two 1417 into one 1520 new 2537 man 444, {thus} establishing 4160 peace 1515,
16 and might reconcile 604 them both 297 in one 1520 body 4983 to God 2316 through 1223 the cross 4716, by it having put 615 to death 615 the enmity 2189.
17 AND HE CAME 2064 AND PREACHED 2097 PEACE 1515 TO YOU WHO 3588 WERE FAR 3112 AWAY 3112, AND PEACE 1515 TO THOSE 3588 WHO WERE NEAR 1451;
18 for through 1223 Him we both 297 have 2192 our access 4318 in one 1520 Spirit 4151 to the Father 3962.
19 So 686 then 686 you are no 3765 longer 3765 strangers 3581 and aliens 3941, but you are fellow 4847 citizens 4847 with the saints 40, and are of God's 2316 household 3609,
20 having been built 2026 on the foundation 2310 of the apostles 652 and prophets 4396, Christ 5547 Jesus 2424 Himself 846 being 1510 the corner 204 {stone,}
21 in whom 3739 the whole 3956 building 3619, being fitted 4883 together 4883, is growing 837 into a holy 40 temple 3485 in the Lord 2962,
22 in whom 3739 you also 2532 are being built 4925 together 4925 into a dwelling 2732 of God 2316 in the Spirit 4151.

Paul's Stewardship

For this 3778 reason 5484 I, Paul 3972, the prisoner 1198 of Christ 5547 Jesus 2424 for the sake 5228 of you Gentiles 1484--
2 if 1487 indeed 1065 you have heard 191 of the stewardship 3622 of God's 2316 grace 5485 which was given 1325 to me for you;
3 that by revelation 602 there was made 1107 known 1107 to me the mystery 3466, as I wrote 4270 before 4270 in brief 3641.
4 By referring to this 3739, when you read 314 you can 1410 understand 3539 my insight 4907 into the mystery 3466 of Christ 5547,
5 which 3739 in other 2087 generations 1074 was not made 1107 known 1107 to the sons 5207 of men 444, as it has now 3568 been revealed 601 to His holy 40 apostles 652 and prophets 4396 in the Spirit 4151;
6 {to be specific,} that the Gentiles 1484 are fellow 4789 heirs 4789 and fellow 4954 members 4954 of the body 4954, and fellow 4830 partakers 4830 of the promise 1860 in Christ 5547 Jesus 2424 through 1223 the gospel 2098,
7 of which 3739 I was made 1096 a minister 1249, according 2596 to the gift 1431 of God's 2316 grace 5485 which was given 1325 to me according 2596 to the working 1753 of His power 1411.
8 To me, the very 1646 least 1646 of all 3956 saints 40, this 3778 grace 5485 was given 1325, to preach 2097 to the Gentiles 1484 the unfathomable 421 riches 4149 of Christ 5547,
9 and to bring 5461 to light 5461 what 5101 is the administration 3622 of the mystery 3466 which for ages 165 has been hidden 613 in God 2316 who created 2936 all 3956 things 3956;
10 so 2443 that the manifold 4182 wisdom 4678 of God 2316 might now 3568 be made 1107 known 1107 through 1223 the church 1577 to the rulers 746 and the authorities 1849 in the heavenly 2032 {places.}
11 {This was} in accordance 2596 with the eternal 165 purpose 4286 which 3739 He carried 4160 out in Christ 5547 Jesus 2424 our Lord 2962,
12 in whom 3739 we have 2192 boldness 3954 and confident 4006 access 4318 through 1223 faith 4102 in Him.
13 Therefore 1352 I ask 154 you not to lose 1457 heart 1457 at my tribulations 2347 on your behalf 5228, for they are your glory 1391.
14 ¶ For this 3778 reason 5484 I bow 2578 my knees 1119 before 4314 the Father 3962,
15 from whom 3739 every 3956 family 3965 in heaven 3772 and on earth 1093 derives 3687 its name 3687,
16 that He would grant 1325 you, according 2596 to the riches 4149 of His glory 1391, to be strengthened 2901 with power 1411 through 1223 His Spirit 4151 in the inner 2080 man 444,
17 so that Christ 5547 may dwell 2730 in your hearts 2588 through 1223 faith 4102; {and} that you, being rooted 4492 and grounded 2311 in love 26,
18 may be able 1840 to comprehend 2638 with all 3956 the saints 40 what 5101 is the breadth 4114 and length 3372 and height 5311 and depth 899,
19 and to know 1097 the love 26 of Christ 5547 which surpasses 5235 knowledge 1108, that you may be filled 4137 up to all 3956 the fullness 4138 of God 2316.
20 ¶ Now 1161 to Him who is able 1410 to do 4160 far 5238 more 5238 abundantly 5238 beyond 5228 all 3956 that we ask 154 or 2228 think 3539, according 2596 to the power 1411 that works 1754 within 1722 us,
21 to Him {be} the glory 1391 in the church 1577 and in Christ 5547 Jesus 2424 to all 3956 generations 1074 forever 165 and ever 165. Amen 281.

Unity of the Spirit

Therefore 3767 I, the prisoner 1198 of the Lord 2962, implore 3870 you to walk 4043 in a manner 516 worthy 516 of the calling 2821 with which 3739 you have been called 2564,
2 with all 3956 humility 5012 and gentleness 4240, with patience 3115, showing 430 tolerance 430 for one 240 another 240 in love 26,
3 being diligent 4704 to preserve 5083 the unity 1775 of the Spirit 4151 in the bond 4886 of peace 1515.
4 {There is} one 1520 body 4983 and one 1520 Spirit 4151, just 2531 as also 2532 you were called 2564 in one 1520 hope 1680 of your calling 2821;
5 one 1520 Lord 2962, one 1520 faith 4102, one 1520 baptism 908,
6 one 1520 God 2316 and Father 3962 of all 3956 who 3588 is over 1909 all 3956 and through 1223 all 3956 and in all 3956.
7 ¶ But to each 1538 one 1520 of us grace 5485 was given 1325 according 2596 to the measure 3358 of Christ's 5547 gift 1431.
8 Therefore 1352 it says 3004, "WHEN HE ASCENDED 305 ON HIGH 5311, HE LED 162 CAPTIVE 162 A HOST 161 OF CAPTIVES 161, AND HE GAVE 1325 GIFTS 1390 TO MEN 444."
9 (Now 1161 this 3588 {expression,} "He ascended 305," what 5101 does it mean 1510 except 1508 that He also 2532 had descended 2597 into the lower 2737 parts 3313 of the earth 1093?
10 He who descended 2597 is Himself 846 also 2532 He who ascended 305 far 5231 above 5231 all 3956 the heavens 3772, so 2443 that He might fill 4137 all 3956 things 3956.)
11 And He gave 1325 some {as} apostles 652, and some 3588 {as} prophets 4396, and some 3588 {as} evangelists 2099, and some 3588 {as} pastors 4166 and teachers 1320,
12 for the equipping 2677 of the saints 40 for the work 2041 of service 1248, to the building 3619 up of the body 4983 of Christ 5547;
13 until 3360 we all 3956 attain 2658 to the unity 1775 of the faith 4102, and of the knowledge 1922 of the Son 5207 of God 2316, to a mature 5046 man 435, to the measure 3358 of the stature 2244 which belongs to the fullness 4138 of Christ 5547.
14 As a result 2443, we are no 3371 longer 3371 to be children 3516, tossed 2831 here 2831 and there 2831 by waves 2831 and carried 4064 about 4064 by every 3956 wind 417 of doctrine 1319, by the trickery 2940 of men 444, by craftiness 3834 in deceitful 4106 scheming 3180;
15 but speaking 226 the truth 226 in love 26, we are to grow 837 up in all 3956 {aspects} into Him who 3739 is the head 2776, {even} Christ 5547,
16 from whom 3739 the whole 3956 body 4983, being fitted 4883 and held 4822 together by what 1223 every 3956 joint 860 supplies 2024, according 2596 to the proper 3358 working 1753 of each 1538 individual 1520 part 3313, causes 4160 the growth 838 of the body 4983 for the building 3619 up of itself 1438 in love 26.
17

The Christian's Walk

So 3767 this 3778 I say 3004, and affirm 3143 together 1722 with the Lord 2962, that you walk 4043 no 3371 longer 3371 just 2531 as the Gentiles 1484 also 2532 walk 4043, in the futility 3153 of their mind 3563,
18 being 1510 darkened 4656 in their understanding 1271, excluded 526 from the life 2222 of God 2316 because 1223 of the ignorance 52 that is in them, because 1223 of the hardness 4457 of their heart 2588;
19 and they, having become 524 callous 524, have given 3860 themselves 1438 over 3860 to sensuality 766 for the practice 2039 of every 3956 kind 3956 of impurity 167 with greediness 4124.
20 But you did not learn 3129 Christ 5547 in this 3779 way 3779,
21 if 1487 indeed 1065 you have heard 191 Him and have been taught 1321 in Him, just 2531 as truth 225 is in Jesus 2424,
22 that, in reference 2596 to your former 4387 manner 391 of life 391, you lay 659 aside 659 the old 3820 self 444, which is being corrupted 5351 in accordance 2596 with the lusts 1939 of deceit 539,
23 and that you be renewed 365 in the spirit 4151 of your mind 3563,
24 and put 1746 on the new 2537 self 444, which in {the likeness of} God 2316 has been created 2936 in righteousness 1343 and holiness 3742 of the truth 225.
25 ¶ Therefore 1352, laying 659 aside 659 falsehood 5579, SPEAK 2980 TRUTH 225 EACH 1538 ONE 1538 {of you} WITH HIS NEIGHBOR 4139, for we are members 3196 of one 240 another 240.
26 BE ANGRY 3710, AND {yet} DO NOT SIN 264; do not let the sun 2246 go 1931 down 1931 on your anger 3950,
27 and do not give 1325 the devil 1228 an opportunity 5117.
28 He who steals 2813 must steal 2813 no 3371 longer 3371; but rather 3123 he must labor 2872, performing 2038 with his own 2398 hands 5495 what 18 is good 18, so 2443 that he will have 2192 {something} to share 3330 with one 3588 who has 2192 need 5532.
29 Let no unwholesome 4550 word 3056 proceed 1607 from your mouth 4750, but only 1487 such 5100 {a word} as is good 18 for edification 3619 according to the need 5532 {of the moment,} so 2443 that it will give 1325 grace 5485 to those 3588 who hear 191.
30 Do not grieve 3076 the Holy 40 Spirit 4151 of God 2316, by whom 3739 you were sealed 4972 for the day 2250 of redemption 629.
31 Let all 3956 bitterness 4088 and wrath 2372 and anger 3709 and clamor 2906 and slander 988 be put 142 away 142 from you, along 4862 with all 3956 malice 2549.
32 Be kind 5543 to one 240 another 240, tender-hearted 2155, forgiving 5483 each 1438 other 1438, just 2531 as God 2316 in Christ 5547 also 2532 has forgiven 5483 you.

Be Imitators of God

Therefore 3767 be imitators 3402 of God 2316, as beloved 27 children 5043;
2 and walk 4043 in love 26, just 2531 as Christ 5547 also 2532 loved 25 you and gave 3860 Himself 1438 up for us, an offering 4376 and a sacrifice 2378 to God 2316 as a fragrant 2175 aroma 3744.
3 ¶ But immorality 4202 or 2532 any 3956 impurity 167 or 2228 greed 4124 must not even 3366 be named 3687 among 1722 you, as is proper 4241 among saints 40;
4 and {there must be no} filthiness 151 and silly 3473 talk 3473, or 2228 coarse 2160 jesting 2160, which 3739 are not fitting 433, but rather 3123 giving 2169 of thanks 2169.
5 For this 3778 you know 3609 with certainty 1097, that no immoral 4205 or 2228 impure 169 person 169 or 2228 covetous 4123 man 4123, who 3739 is an idolater 1496, has 2192 an inheritance 2817 in the kingdom 932 of Christ 5547 and God 2316.
6 ¶ Let no 3367 one 3367 deceive 538 you with empty 2756 words 3056, for because 1223 of these 3778 things 3778 the wrath 3709 of God 2316 comes 2064 upon the sons 5207 of disobedience 543.
7 Therefore 3767 do not be partakers 4830 with them;
8 for you were formerly 4218 darkness 4655, but now 3568 you are Light 5457 in the Lord 2962; walk 4043 as children 5043 of Light 5457
9 (for the fruit 2590 of the Light 5457 {consists} in all 3956 goodness 19 and righteousness 1343 and truth 225),
10 trying 1381 to learn 1381 what 5101 is pleasing 2101 to the Lord 2962.
11 Do not participate 4790 in the unfruitful 175 deeds 2041 of darkness 4655, but instead 3123 even 2532 expose 1651 them;
12 for it is disgraceful 150 even 2532 to speak 3004 of the things which are done 1096 by them in secret 2931.
13 But all 3956 things 3956 become 5319 visible 5319 when they are exposed 1651 by the light 5457, for everything 3956 that becomes 5319 visible 5319 is light 5457.
14 For this 1352 reason 1352 it says 3004, "Awake 1453, sleeper 2518, And arise 450 from the dead 3498, And Christ 5547 will shine 2017 on you."
15 ¶ Therefore 3767 be careful how 4459 you walk 4043, not as unwise 781 men 781 but as wise 4680,
16 making 1805 the most 1805 of your time 2540, because 3754 the days 2250 are evil 4190.
17 So then do not be foolish 878, but understand 4920 what 5101 the will 2307 of the Lord 2962 is.
18 And do not get 3182 drunk 3182 with wine 3631, for that is dissipation 810, but be filled 4137 with the Spirit 4151,
19 speaking 2980 to one 1438 another 1438 in psalms 5568 and hymns 5215 and spiritual 4152 songs 5603, singing 103 and making 5567 melody 5567 with your heart 2588 to the Lord 2962;
20 always 3842 giving 2168 thanks 2168 for all 3956 things 3956 in the name 3686 of our Lord 2962 Jesus 2424 Christ 5547 to God 2316, even 2532 the Father 3962;
21 and be subject 5293 to one 240 another 240 in the fear 5401 of Christ 5547.

Marriage Like Christ and the Church

Wives 1135, {be subject} to your own 2398 husbands 435, as to the Lord 2962.
23 For the husband 435 is the head 2776 of the wife 1135, as Christ 5547 also 2532 is the head 2776 of the church 1577, He Himself 846 {being} the Savior 4990 of the body 4983.
24 But as the church 1577 is subject 5293 to Christ 5547, so 3779 also 2532 the wives 1135 {ought to be} to their husbands 435 in everything 3956.
25 ¶ Husbands 435, love 25 your wives 1135, just 2531 as Christ 5547 also 2532 loved 25 the church 1577 and gave 3860 Himself 1438 up for her,
26 so 2443 that He might sanctify 37 her, having cleansed 2511 her by the washing 3067 of water 5204 with the word 4487,
27 that He might present 3936 to Himself 1438 the church 1577 in all 1741 her glory 1741, having 2192 no 3361 spot 4696 or 2228 wrinkle 4512 or 2228 any 5100 such 5108 thing 5108; but that she would be holy 40 and blameless 299.
28 So 3779 husbands 435 ought 3784 also 2532 to love 25 their own 1438 wives 1135 as their own 1438 bodies 4983. He who loves 25 his own 1438 wife 1135 loves 25 himself 1438;
29 for no 3762 one 3762 ever 4218 hated 3404 his own 1438 flesh 4561, but nourishes 1625 and cherishes 2282 it, just 2531 as Christ 5547 also 2532 {does} the church 1577,
30 because 3754 we are members 3196 of His body 4983.
31 FOR THIS 3778 REASON 473 A MAN 444 SHALL LEAVE 2641 HIS FATHER 3962 AND MOTHER 3384 AND SHALL BE JOINED 4347 TO HIS WIFE 1135, AND THE TWO 1417 SHALL BECOME ONE 1520 FLESH 4561.
32 This 3778 mystery 3466 is great 3173; but I am speaking 3004 with reference 1519 to Christ 5547 and the church 1577.
33 Nevertheless 4133, each 1538 individual 1520 among you also 2532 is to love 25 his own 1438 wife 1135 even as himself 1438, and the wife 1135 must {see to it} that she respects 5399 her husband 435.

Family Relationships

Children 5043, obey 5219 your parents 1118 in the Lord 2962, for this 3778 is right 1342.
2 HONOR 5091 YOUR FATHER 3962 AND MOTHER 3384 (which 3748 is the first 4413 commandment 1785 with a promise 1860),
3 SO 2443 THAT IT MAY BE WELL 2095 WITH YOU, AND THAT YOU MAY LIVE 3118 LONG 3118 ON THE EARTH 1093.
4 ¶ Fathers 3962, do not provoke 3949 your children 5043 to anger 3949, but bring 1625 them up in the discipline 3809 and instruction 3559 of the Lord 2962.
5 ¶ Slaves 1401, be obedient 5219 to those 3588 who are your masters 2962 according 2596 to the flesh 4561, with fear 5401 and trembling 5156, in the sincerity 572 of your heart 2588, as to Christ 5547;
6 not by way 2596 of eyeservice 3787, as men-pleasers 441, but as slaves 1401 of Christ 5547, doing 4160 the will 2307 of God 2316 from the heart 5590.
7 With good 2133 will 2133 render 1398 service 1398, as to the Lord 2962, and not to men 444,
8 knowing 3609 that whatever good 18 thing 18 each 1538 one 1538 does 4160, this 3778 he will receive 2865 back 2865 from the Lord 2962, whether 1535 slave 1401 or 1535 free 1658.
9 ¶ And masters 2962, do 4160 the same 846 things 846 to them, and give 447 up threatening 547, knowing 3609 that both 2532 their Master 2962 and yours 4771 is in heaven 3772, and there is no 3756 partiality 4382 with Him.

The Armor of God

¶ Finally 3062, be strong 1743 in the Lord 2962 and in the strength 2904 of His might 2479.
11 Put 1746 on the full 3833 armor 3833 of God 2316, so 4314 that you will be able 1410 to stand 2476 firm 2476 against 4314 the schemes 3180 of the devil 1228.
12 For our struggle 3823 is not against 4314 flesh 4561 and blood 129, but against 4314 the rulers 746, against 4314 the powers 1849, against 4314 the world 2888 forces 2888 of this 3778 darkness 4655, against 4314 the spiritual 4152 {forces} of wickedness 4189 in the heavenly 2032 {places.}
13 Therefore, take 353 up the full 3833 armor 3833 of God 2316, so 2443 that you will be able 1410 to resist 436 in the evil 4190 day 2250, and having done 2716 everything 537, to stand 2476 firm 2476.
14 Stand 2476 firm 2476 therefore 3767, HAVING GIRDED 4024 YOUR LOINS 3751 WITH TRUTH 225, and HAVING PUT 1746 ON THE BREASTPLATE 2382 OF RIGHTEOUSNESS 1343,
15 and having shod 5265 YOUR FEET 4228 WITH THE PREPARATION 2091 OF THE GOSPEL 2098 OF PEACE 1515;
16 in addition to all 3956, taking 353 up the shield 2375 of faith 4102 with which 3739 you will be able 1410 to extinguish 4570 all 3956 the flaming 4448 arrows 956 of the evil 4190 {one.}
17 And take 1209 THE HELMET 4030 OF SALVATION 4992, and the sword 3162 of the Spirit 4151, which 3739 is the word 4487 of God 2316.
18 ¶ With all 3956 prayer 4335 and petition 1162 pray 4336 at all 3956 times 2540 in the Spirit 4151, and with this 846 in view 1519, be on the alert 69 with all 3956 perseverance 4343 and petition 1162 for all 3956 the saints 40,
19 and {pray} on my behalf 5228, that utterance 3056 may be given 1325 to me in the opening 457 of my mouth 4750, to make 1107 known 1107 with boldness 3954 the mystery 3466 of the gospel 2098,
20 for which 3739 I am 4243 an ambassador 4243 in chains 254; that in {proclaiming} it I may speak 3955 boldly 3955, as I ought 1163 to speak 2980.
21 ¶ But that you also 2532 may know 3609 about 2596 my circumstances, how 5101 I am doing 4238, Tychicus 5190, the beloved 27 brother 80 and faithful 4103 minister 1249 in the Lord 2962, will make 1107 everything 3956 known 1107 to you.
22 I have sent 3992 him to you for this 3778 very 846 purpose, so 2443 that you may know 1097 about 4012 us, and that he may comfort 3870 your hearts 2588.
23 ¶ Peace 1515 be to the brethren 80, and love 26 with faith 4102, from God 2316 the Father 3962 and the Lord 2962 Jesus 2424 Christ 5547.
24 Grace 5485 be with all 3956 those 3588 who love 25 our Lord 2962 Jesus 2424 Christ 5547 with incorruptible 861 {love.}
