Strengthened with all might,
according to the power of his glory,
in all patience and longsuffering with joy,
giving thanks to God the Father,
who hath made us worthy to be
partakers of the lot of the saints in light:

who hath delivered us from the power of darkness,
and hath translated us into the kingdom
of the Son of his love,
in whom we have redemption
through his blood, the remission of sins;
who is the image of the invisible God,
the Firstborn of every creature:

For in him were all things created
in heaven and on earth,
visible and invisible,
whether thrones, or dominations,
or principalities, or powers:
all things were created by him and in him.

And he is before all,
and by him all things consist.
And he is the head of the body, the Church,
who is the beginning,
the firstborn from the dead;
that in all things he may hold the primacy:
because in him, it hath well pleased the Father,
that all fullness should dwell.

And through him to reconcile all things unto himself,
making peace through the blood of his Cross,
both as to the things that are on earth,
and the things that are in heaven.
