Bible. Ephesians
49:003:019 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that
ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
49:003:020 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,
49:003:021 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all
ages, world without end. Amen.
49:004:001 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye
walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,
49:004:002 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering,
forbearing one another in love;
49:004:003 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of
peace.
49:004:004 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in
one hope of your calling;
49:004:005 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
49:004:006 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all,
and in you all.
49:004:007 But unto every one of us is given grace according to the
measure of the gift of Christ.
49:004:008 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led
captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.
49:004:009 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended
first into the lower parts of the earth?
49:004:010 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above
all heavens, that he might fill all things.)
49:004:011 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some,
evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
49:004:012 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the
ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
49:004:013 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:
49:004:014 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;
49:004:015 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all
things, which is the head, even Christ:
49:004:016 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.
49:004:017 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye
henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of
their mind,
49:004:018 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:
