| “Through the knowledge of Him that hath called us to glory and virtue,” or, who “hath called us by His glory and virtue,” our Lord Jesus Christ, we have “all things that pertain unto life and godliness.” “In Him was life; and the life was the light of men,” and the Father has “given Him power over all flesh, that He should give eternal life,” and “he that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life,” “for in Him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in Him, which is the head of all principality and power,” and “in Him” we have all that we need to “live godly in Christ Jesus” and to “show forth the praises of Him who hath called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.” “And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work.” “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ” and who “is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think.” |
