th in you? If any man destroyeth the temple of God, him shall
God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

--_I Corinthians 3:16, 17_.

For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father, from whom every family
in heaven and on earth is named, that he would grant you, according to
the riches of his glory, that ye may be strengthened with power
through his Spirit in the inward man; that Christ may dwell in your
hearts through faith; to the end that ye, being rooted and grounded in
love, may be strong to apprehend with all the saints what is the
breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of
Christ which passeth knowledge, that ye may be filled unto all the
fulness of God.
--_Ephesians 3:14-19_.

Now to him that is able to stablish you according to my gospel and the
preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery
which hath been kept in silence through times eternal, but now is
manifested, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the
commandment of the eternal God, is made known unto all the nations
unto obedience of faith; to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ,
to whom be the glory for ever. Amen.

--_Romans 16:25-27_.

O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God!
how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past tracing out! For
who hath known the mind of the Lord or who hath been his counsellor?
or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him
again? For of him, and through him, and unto him, are all things. To
him be the glory for ever. Amen.
--_Romans 11:33-36_.

Now unto the King eternal, incorruptible, invisible, the only God, be
honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.
--_I Timothy 1:17_.
