who is given as a pledge of our inheritance, unto the redemption of God’s own possession, to the praise of His glory.

So then you are no longer strangers and sojourners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are of God’s household,

if indeed you heard of the stewardship of God’s grace which was given to me for you;

of which I was made a minister, according to the gift of God’s grace which was given to me according to the working of His power.

But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ’s gift.
