003:014 For this reason, on bended knee I beseech the Father,
003:015 from whom the whole family in Heaven and on earth derives its name, 003:016 to grant you--in accordance with the wealth of His glorious perfections--to be strengthened by His Spirit with power penetrating to your inmost being. 003:017 I pray that Christ may make His home in your hearts through your faith; so that having your roots deep and your foundations strong, in love, you may become mighty to grasp the idea, 003:018 as it is grasped by all God's people, of the breadth and length, the height and depth-- 003:019 yes, to attain to a knowledge of the knowledge-surpassing love of Christ, so that you may be made complete in accordance with God's own standard of completeness. 003:020 Now to Him who, in exercise of His power that is at work within us, is able to do infinitely beyond all our highest prayers or thoughts-- 003:021 to Him be the glory in the Church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, world without end! Amen. 004:001 I, then, the prisoner for the Master's sake, entreat you to live and act as becomes those who have received the call that you have received-- 004:002 with all lowliness of mind and unselfishness, and with patience, bearing with one another lovingly, and earnestly striving to maintain, 004:003 in the uniting bond of peace, the unity given by the Spirit. 004:004 There is but one body and but one Spirit, as also when you were called you had one and the same hope held out to you. 004:005 There is but one Lord, one faith, one baptism, 004:006 and one God and Father of all, who rules over all, acts through all, and dwells in all. |
