- Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places.
- In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace.
- I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation as you come to know him.
- So that, with the eyes of your heart enlightened, you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance among the saints.
But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for see—I am bringing you good news of great joy for all the people.”
