Ephesians  Ephesians 1: 9  making known[ c ] to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ  10  as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth. As a posed to the Tower of Babel, where humanity seeks to unite themselves together in spite of God - to be like God 20  that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places,  21  far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come.  22  And he put all things under his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church,  23  which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all. What is his age to come? Revelation 20:1-6 2: 5  even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—...

  Galatians 1 3  Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,  4  who gave himself for our sins to deliver us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, 5  to whom be the glory forever and ever.

Ch.4 6  I have applied all these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, brothers, [ a ]  that you may learn by us not to go beyond what is written, that none of you may be puffed up in favor of one against another.   The Word of God is our equalizer, putting us all on the same page. 7  For who sees anything different in you?  What do you have that you did not receive? If then you received it, why do you boast as if you did not receive it? Everything is a gift of grace.
