Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,

In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation—having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of the promise,

that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him.

in which you previously walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience.

for through Him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.

in whom you also are being built together into a dwelling of God in the Spirit.

which in other generations was not made known to mankind, as it has now been revealed to His holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit;

that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner self,

Unity of the Spirit

Therefore I, the prisoner of the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called,

being diligent to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

There is one body and one Spirit, just as you also were called in one hope of your calling;

and that you are to be renewed in the spirit of your minds,

Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.

And do not get drunk with wine, in which there is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit,

speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your hearts to the Lord;

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.

And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

With every prayer and request, pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be alert with all perseverance and every request for all the saints,
