THere is one body and one Spirit- just as there is also one hope to the calling you received- One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, pervading all and living in us all.
So let us seize and hold fast and retain without wavering the hope we cherish and confess our acknowledgment of it, for He Who promised is reliable and faithful to His word.
Recalling unceasingly before our God and Father your work energized by faith and service motivated by love and unwavering hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.
Through Him you believe in God , Who raised Him up from the dead and gave Him honor and glory, so that your faith and hope rest in God.
But even in case you should suffer for the sake of righteousness, you are blessed.
Through Him also we have our access by faith into God’s favor in which we firmly and safely stand.
So brace up your minds; be sober; set your hope wholly and unchangeably on the grace that is coming to you when Jesus Christ is revealed.
And God placed all things under His feet and appointed Him to be head over everything fro thechurch, which is His body, the fullness of Him Who fills everything in every way.
In Him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of Him Who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of His will, in order that we who were the first to hope in Christ, might be for the praise of His glory.
