(Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?

He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)

But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:

If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:

For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.

For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.

But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.

And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;

For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.

This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.

Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.

Honour thy father and mother;(which is the first commandment with promise;)

And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him.

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Even as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers of my grace.

For God is my record, how greatly I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ.

And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God.

For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

Which is come unto you, as it is in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day ye heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth:

As ye also learned of Epaphras our dear fellowservant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ;

Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:

And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
