12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers, against the directors of this world of darkness, against the spirits of wickedness in high places.

10so that the manifold wisdom of God may become well-known to the principalities and powers in the heavens, through the Church,

10Concerning the rest, brothers, be strengthened in the Lord, by the power of his virtue. 11Be clothed in the armor of God, so that you may be able to stand against the treachery of the devil. 12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers, against the directors of this world of darkness, against the spirits of wickedness in high places. 13Because of this, take up the armor of God, so that you may be able to withstand the evil day and remain perfect in all things. 14Therefore, stand firm, having been girded about your waist with truth, and having been clothed with the breastplate of justice, 15and having feet which have been shod by the preparation of the Gospel of peace.

1I saw the new heaven and the new earth. For the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and the sea is no more. 2And I, John, saw the Holy City, the New Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband. 3And I heard a great voice from the throne, saying: “Behold the tabernacle of God with men. And he will dwell with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be their God with them. 4And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes. And death shall be no more. And neither mourning, nor crying out, nor grief shall be anymore. For the first things have passed away.” 5And the One who was sitting upon the throne, said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And he said to me, “Write, for these words are entirely faithful and true.” 6And he said to me: “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To those who thirst, I will give freely from the fountain of the water of life.

1Most beloved, do not be willing to believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see if they are of God. For many false prophets have gone out into the world.

55Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. 56For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. 57Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him. 58Just as the living Father has sent me and I live because of the Father, so also whoever eats me, the same shall live because of me. 59This is the bread that descends from heaven. It is not like the manna that your fathers ate, for they died. Whoever eats this bread shall live forever.”

3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavens, in Christ,

1Therefore, if you have risen together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.

16For God so loved the world that he gave his only-begotten Son, so that all who believe in him may not perish, but may have eternal life.

67After this, many of his disciples went back, and they no longer walked with him. 68Therefore, Jesus said to the twelve, “Do you also want to go away?” 69Then Simon Peter answered him: “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life. 70And we have believed, and we recognize that you are the Christ, the Son of God.” 71Jesus answered them: “Have I not chosen you twelve? And yet one among you is a devil.”

14Are they not all spirits of ministration, sent to minister for the sake of those who shall receive the inheritance of salvation?
