- I pray that, according to the riches of his glory, he may grant that you may be strengthened in your inner being with power through his Spirit, and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, as you are being rooted and grounded in love.
- With all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love.
- Be careful then how you live, not as unwise people but as wise, making the most of the time, because the days are evil.
- And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ has forgiven you.
- Put on the whole armor of God, so that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
- Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, in order to make her holy by cleansing her with the washing of water by the word.
- Let no evil talk come out of your mouths, but only what is useful for building up, as there is need, so that your words may give grace to those who hear.
- Be angry but do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and do not make room for the devil.
- And, fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
- For our struggle is not against enemies of blood and flesh, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers of this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.
He alone is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress; I shall not be shaken.
