Strip yourselves of your former nature which characterized your previous manner of life and becomes corrupt through lusts and desires that spring from delusion; and be constantly renewed in th spirit of your mind.
Having believed, you were marked in Him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, Who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession- to the praise of His glory.
In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace which He lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding.
He is before all things and in Him all things hold together.
God’s grace set us free in and through
our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
The extremely deep significance of God’s
plan of salvation and adoption.
