Acts 28:25 25 (AV) And when they agreed not among themselves, they departed, after that Paul had spoken one word, Well spake the Holy Ghost by Esaias the prophet unto our fathers, 25 (TR) ασυμφωνοι δε οντες προς αλληλους απελυοντο ειποντος του παυλου ρημα εν οτι καλως το πνευμα το αγιον ελαλησεν δια ησαιου του προφητου προς τους πατερας ημων 1Cor.7:5 Matt.1:19, 5:31 3
Ephesians 4.1 1 (AV) I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, 1 (TR) παρακαλω ουν υμας εγω ο δεσμιος εν κυριω αξιως περιπατησαι της κλησεως ης εκληθητε πaυλος 4
Walk that is worthy is based on like with like John 14:12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. Eph. 4:32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ s sake hath forgiven you. 5

Father Eph 1:2 Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. Eph 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: Eph 1:17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: Eph 2:18 For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. Eph 3:14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Eph 4:6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. Eph 5:20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; Eph 6:23 Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 9

Blessing and Purpose 11
Choice before the overthrow; Eph. 1:4 5 4 (AV) According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: 4 (TR) καθως εξελεξατο ημας εν αυτω προ καταβολης κοσμου ειναι ημας αγιους και αμωμους κατενωπιον αυτου εν αγαπη 5 (AV) Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, 5 (TR) προορισας ημας εις υιοθεσιαν δια ιησου χριστου εις αυτον κατα την ευδοκιαν του θεληματος αυτου 12

Mt 25:34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation <2602> of the world: Lu 11:50 That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation <2602> of the world, may be required of this generation; Joh 17:24 Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation <2602> of the world. Eph 1:4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation <2602> of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Heb 4:3 For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation <2602> of the world. Heb 9:26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation <2602> of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. Heb 11:11 Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive <2602> seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised. 1Pe 1:20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation <2602> of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, Re 13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation <2602> of the world. Re 17:8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation <2602> of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. 14
