¹⁸ may be strong to apprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth,

¹¹ For as the heavens are high above the earth, So great is his lovingkindness toward them that fear him.

¹² As far as the east is from the west, So far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

¹⁵ For this cause I also, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which is among you, and the love which `ye show' toward all the saints,

²⁰ I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I that live, but Christ living in me: and that `life' which I now live in the flesh I live in faith, `the faith' which is in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me.

⁷ Canst thou by searching find out God? Canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection?

⁸ It is high as heaven; what canst thou do? Deeper than Sheol; what canst thou know?

⁹ The measure thereof is longer than the earth, And broader than the sea.

⁹ For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

¹³ Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

⁸ Yea verily, and I count all things to be loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but refuse, that I may gain Christ,

⁹ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of mine own, `even' that which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith:

¹⁰ that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed unto his death;

¹⁴ and the grace of our Lord abounded exceedingly with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

¹⁵ Faithful is the saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief:

¹⁶ howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me as chief might Jesus Christ show forth all his longsuffering, for an ensample of them that should thereafter believe on him unto eternal life.

²¹ He that overcometh, I will give to him to sit down with me in my throne, as I also overcame, and sat down with my Father in his throne.

¹³ looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;

¹⁴ who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a people for his own possession, zealous of good works.

¹⁶ And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness; He who was manifested in the flesh, Justified in the spirit, Seen of angels, Preached among the nations, Believed on in the world, Received up in glory.

⁴ having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have toward all the saints,

⁵ Have this mind in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

⁶ who, existing in the form of God, counted not the being on an equality with God a thing to be grasped,

⁷ but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men;

⁸ and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, becoming obedient `even' unto death, yea, the death of the cross.

¹⁸ having the eyes of your heart enlightened, that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,

¹⁹ and what the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to that working of the strength of his might

²⁰ which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and made him to sit at his right hand in the heavenly `places',

²¹ far above all rule, and authority, and power, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:

²² and he put all things in subjection under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things to the church,

²³ which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.

¹⁰ unto a dispensation of the fulness of the times, to sum up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens, and the things upon the earth; in him, `I say,'

² And he said, Jehovah came from Sinai, And rose from Seir unto them; He shined forth from mount Paran, And he came from the ten thousands of holy ones: At his right hand was a fiery law for them.

³ Yea, he loveth the people; All his saints are in thy hand: And they sat down at thy feet; `Every one' shall receive of thy words.

⁴¹ Now therefore arise, O Jehovah God, into thy resting-place, thou, and the ark of thy strength: let thy priests, O Jehovah God, be clothed with salvation, and let thy saints rejoice in goodness.

¹⁷ But the lovingkindness of Jehovah is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, And his righteousness unto children's children;

¹⁵ Precious in the sight of Jehovah Is the death of his saints.

⁵ And ye shall flee by the valley of my mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azel; yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah; and Jehovah my God shall come, and all the holy ones with thee.

³ For being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God.

¹¹ For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be put to shame.

¹² For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek: for the same `Lord' is Lord of all, and is rich unto all that call upon him:

¹³ Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us; for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:

¹³ All the saints salute you.

¹⁰ All thy works shall give thanks unto thee, O Jehovah; And thy saints shall bless thee.

⁶ `Such' knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is high, I cannot attain unto it.

⁹ Let thy priest be clothed with righteousness; And let thy saints shout for joy.
