Commonwealth of Ifrael, and STRANGERS from the COVENANTS of PROMISE, having no HOPE, and without GOD in the WORLD.

13 But now in CHRIST JESUS, ye who fometimes were far off, are made NIGH by the Blood of CHRIST

14 For he is our PEACE, who hath made both oNE, and hath broken down the middle Wall of Partition between us;

Is Having abolished in his flesh the Enmity, even the Law of Commandments contained in ORDINANCES, for to make in himself, of twain, one new Man, fo making Peace.

Ephef. iii. 8 Unto me, who am lefs than the leaft of all SAINTS, is this Grace given, that I should PREACH among the GENTILES the UNSEARCHABLE RICHES of CHRIST.

9 And to make all Men fee, what is the Fellowship of the MYSTERY, which from the BEGINNING of the WORLD, hath been hid in GoD, who cREATED ALL THINGS by JESUS CHRIST.

10 To the INTENT that now unto the PRINCIPALITIES and POWERS in hea venly Places might be known by the Church the manifold Wisdom of GOD. 11 According to the eternal Purpose which he PURPOSED in CHRIST JESUS

our LORD:

12 In whom we have Boldness and Access with Confidence by the Faith

of him.

14 For this Cause I bow my Knees unto the Father of our LORD JESUS CHRIST,

15 Of whom the whole FAMILY in Heaven and Earth is named,

16 That he would GRANT you according to the Riches of his Glory, to be STRENGTHNED with Might by his SPIRIT in the INNER MAN;

17 That CHRIST may DWELL in your HEARTS by FAITH; that ye being rooted and grounded in Love,

18 May be able to COMPREHEND with all SAINTS, what is the Breadth, and LENGTH, and DEPTH, and HEIGHT;

19 And to know the LOVE of CHRIST, which PASSETH KNOWLEDGE, that ye might be filled with all the FULNESS of GOD.

Col. i. 12 Giving Thanks unto the Father which hath made us meet to be Partakers of the INHERITANCE of the Saints in LIGHT:

13 Who hath DELIVERED us from the PowER of DARKNESS. and hath TRANSLATED us into the KINGDOM of his DEAR SON:

14 In whom we have REDEMPTION through his BLOOD, even the FORGIVENESS OF SINS.

15 Who is the IMAGE of the INVISIBLE GOD, the FIRST-BORN of every Creature:

16 For by him were ALL THINGS CREATED that are in Heaven, and that are in Earth, VISIBLE and INVISIBLE, whether they be THRONES, or DOMINIONS, OF PRINCIPALITIES, OI POWERS: all Things were created by him, and for him.

17 And he is before all Things, and by him all Things confift.

1 John iii. 1 Behold, what manner of Love the FATHER hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the Sons of GOD: therefore the World knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

2 Beloved, now are we the Sons of GOD, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be. but we know, that when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we fhall fee him as he is.

3 And every Man that hath this Hope in him, purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
