Blessed (be) the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort;
and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly (places), in Christ Jesus:
to the intent that now unto the principalities and the powers in the heavenly (places) might be made known through the church the manifold wisdom of God,
Blessed (be) the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy begat us again unto a living hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
