14For this cause I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

15Of whom all paternity in heaven and earth is named:

16That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened by his Spirit with might unto the inward man:

17That Christ may dwell by faith in your hearts: that, being rooted and founded in charity,

18You may be able to comprehend, with all the saints, what is the breadth and length and height and depth,

19To know also the charity of Christ, which surpasseth all knowledge: that you may be filled unto all the fulness of God.

20Now to him who is able to do all things more abundantly than we desire or understand, according to the power that worketh in us:

21To him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus, unto all generations, world without end. Amen.

1A psalm for David. Rejoice in the Lord, O ye just: praise becometh the upright.

2Give praise to the Lord on the harp; sing to him with the psaltery, the instrument of ten strings.

4For the word of the Lord is right, and all his works are done with faithfulness.

5He loveth mercy and judgment; the earth is full of the mercy of the Lord.

11But the counsel of the Lord standeth for ever: the thoughts of his heart to all generations.

12Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord: the people whom he hath chosen for his inheritance.

18Behold the eyes of the Lord are on them that fear him: and on them that hope in his mercy.

19To deliver their souls from death; and feed them in famine.

8Furthermore, I count all things to be but loss for the excellent knowledge of Jesus Christ, my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things and count them but as dung, that I may gain Christ.

9And may be found in him, not having my justice, which is of the law, but that which is of the faith of Christ Jesus, which is of God: justice in faith.

49I am come to cast fire on the earth. And what will I, but that it be kindled?

50And I have a baptism wherewith I am to be baptized. And how am I straitened until it be accomplished?

51Think ye, that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, no; but separation.

52For there shall be from henceforth five in one house divided: three against two, and two against three.

53The father shall be divided against the son and the son against his father: the mother against the daughter and the daughter against her mother: the mother-in-law against the daughter-in-law and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
