¹⁴ Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

⁵ Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,

⁶ To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.

⁷ In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;

⁸ Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;

⁹ Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:

¹⁵ Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will:

¹³ For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
