since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of your love for all the saints;

who also declared to us your love in the Spirit.

He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love,

that their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, and attaining to all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the knowledge of the mystery of God, both of the Father and of Christ,

But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection.

Husbands, love your wives and do not be bitter toward them.
