G2532–καί–kai

May grace and peace be granted to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has crowned us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms in Christ;

καὶ kai “and”

even as, in His love, He chose us as His own in Christ before the creation of the world, that we might be holy and without blemish in His presence.

καὶ kai “and”

the grace which He, the possessor of all wisdom and understanding, lavished upon us,

καὶ kai “and”

for the government of the world when the times are ripe for it--the purpose which He has cherished in His own mind of restoring the whole creation to find its one Head in Christ; yes, things in Heaven and things on earth, to find their one Head in Him.

καὶ kai “and”

In Him we Jews have been made heirs, having been chosen beforehand in accordance with the intention of Him whose might carries out in everything the design of His own will,

καὶ kai “also”

And in Him you Gentiles also, after listening to the Message of the truth, the Good News of your salvation--having believed in Him--were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit;

καὶ kai “also”καὶ kai “also”

For this reason I too, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which prevails among you, and of your love for all God's people,

καὶ kai “and”

For I always beseech the God of our Lord Jesus Christ--the Father most glorious--to give you a spirit of wisdom and penetration through an intimate knowledge of Him,

καὶ kai “and”

the eyes of your understanding being enlightened so that you may know what is the hope which His call to you inspires, what the wealth of the glory of His inheritance in God's people,

καὶ kai “and”

and what the transcendent greatness of His power in us believers as seen in the working of His infinite might

καὶ kai “and”

when He displayed it in Christ by raising Him from the dead and seating Him at His own right hand in the heavenly realms,

καὶ kai “and”

high above all other government and authority and power and dominion, and every title of sovereignty used either in this Age or in the Age to come.

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “also”

God has put all things under His feet, and has appointed Him universal and supreme Head of the Church, which is His Body,

καὶ kai “And”καὶ kai “and”

To you Gentiles also, who were dead through your offences and sins,

Καὶ Kai “And”καὶ kai “and”

Among them all of us also formerly passed our lives, governed by the inclinations of our lower natures, indulging the cravings of those natures and of our own thoughts, and were in our original state deserving of anger like all others.

καὶ kai “also”καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “even”

caused us, dead though we were through our offences, to live with Christ--it is by grace that you have been saved--

καὶ kai “even”

raised us with Him from the dead, and enthroned us with Him in the heavenly realms as being in Christ Jesus,

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

For it is by grace that you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves. It is God's gift, and is not on the ground of merit--

καὶ kai “and”

At that time you were living apart from Christ, estranged from the Commonwealth of Israel, with no share by birth in the Covenants which are based on the Promises, and you had no hope and no God, in all the world.

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

For He is our peace--He who has made Jews and Gentiles one, and in His own human nature has broken down the hostile dividing wall,

καὶ kai “and”

thus effecting peace, and to reconcile Jews and Gentiles in one body to God, by means of His cross--slaying by it their mutual enmity.

καὶ kai “and”

So He came and proclaimed good news of peace to you who were so far away, and peace to those who were near;

καὶ kai “And”καὶ kai “and”

You are therefore no longer mere foreigners or persons excluded from civil rights. On the contrary you share citizenship with God's people and are members of His family.

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

You are a building which has been reared on the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets, the cornerstone being Christ Jesus Himself,

καὶ kai “and”
