1:1 Paul, an Apostle of Jesus Christ by the purpose of God, and Sosthenes the brother,

2:1 And to you did he give life, when you were dead through your wrongdoing and sins,
2:2 In which you were living in the past, after the ways of this present world, doing the pleasure of the lord of the power of the air, the spirit who is now working in those who go against the purpose of God;

2:1 Then after the space of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus with me.
2:2 And I went up by revelation; and I put before them the good news which I was preaching among the Gentiles, but privately before those who were of good name, so that the work which I was or had been doing might not be without effect.

2:1 So then, my child, be strong in the grace which is in Christ Jesus.
2:2 And the things which I have said to you before a number of witnesses, give to those of the faith, so that they may be teachers of others.
2:3 Be ready to do without the comforts of life, as one of the army of Christ Jesus.
