which is His body, the completeness of Him who fills all in all.
for the perfecting of the set-apart ones, to the work of service to a building up of the body of the Messiah,
one body and one Spirit, as you also were called in one expectation of your calling,
Because the husband is head of the wife, as also the Messiah is head of the assembly, and He is Saviour of the body.
Because we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones.

And let the peace of Elohim rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one Body, and be filled with thanks.
