30 day study of the words of Paul
=================================
Day 18
EPH 03:08 Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;
EPH 03:09 And to make all [men] see what [is] the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:
EPH 03:10 To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly [places] might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,
EPH 03:11 According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:
EPH 03:12 In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.
EPH 03:13 Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.
EPH 03:14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
EPH 03:15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
EPH 03:16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
EPH 03:17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
EPH 03:18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what [is] the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
EPH 03:19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
EPH 03:20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
EPH 03:21 Unto him [be] glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
EPH 04:01 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,
EPH 04:02 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
EPH 04:03 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
EPH 04:04 [There is] one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
EPH 04:05 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
EPH 04:06 One God and Father of all, who [is] above all, and through all, and in you all.
EPH 04:07 But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
EPH 04:08 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.
EPH 04:09 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?
EPH 04:10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)
EPH 04:11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
EPH 04:12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
EPH 04:13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
EPH 04:14 That we [henceforth] be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, [and] cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
EPH 04:15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, [even] Christ:
EPH 04:16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
EPH 04:17 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,
EPH 04:18 Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:
EPH 04:19 Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
EPH 04:20 But ye have not so learned Christ;
EPH 04:21 If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:
EPH 04:22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
EPH 04:23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
EPH 04:24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
EPH 04:25 Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.
EPH 04:26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
EPH 04:27 Neither give place to the devil.
EPH 04:28 Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with [his] hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.
EPH 04:29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
EPH 04:30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
EPH 04:31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
EPH 04:32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
EPH 05:01 Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;
EPH 05:02 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.
EPH 05:03 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;
EPH 05:04 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.
EPH 05:05 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.
EPH 05:06 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
EPH 05:07 Be not ye therefore partakers with them.
EPH 05:08 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now [are ye] light in the Lord: walk as children of light:
EPH 05:09 (For the fruit of the Spirit [is] in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)
EPH 05:10 Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.
EPH 05:11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove [them].
EPH 05:12 For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.
EPH 05:13 But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.
EPH 05:14 Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.
EPH 05:15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
EPH 05:16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
EPH 05:17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord [is].
EPH 05:18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;
EPH 05:19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
EPH 05:20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
EPH 05:21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.
EPH 05:22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
EPH 05:23 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.
EPH 05:24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so [let] the wives [be] to their own husbands in every thing.
EPH 05:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
EPH 05:26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
EPH 05:27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
EPH 05:28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.
EPH 05:29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:
EPH 05:30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
EPH 05:31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
EPH 05:32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
EPH 05:33 Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife [see] that she reverence [her] husband.
EPH 06:01 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.
EPH 06:02 Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise;
EPH 06:03 That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.
EPH 06:04 And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
EPH 06:05 Servants, be obedient to them that are [your] masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;
EPH 06:06 Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;
EPH 06:07 With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men:
EPH 06:08 Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether [he be] bond or free.
EPH 06:09 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.
EPH 06:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
