[Introduction] And in and through all these things, I want to work with you and for your joy in the living and personal God who delivered you from sin and death through the work of his Son and Holy Spirit and gives you all these things that you might enjoy him and them and him in them forever.

Every good and perfect gift comes down from the Father, and every good and perfect gift is designed to lead us back to the Father of lights, in whose presence is fullness of joy and at whose right hand are pleasures forevermore.

[Epilogue] And the things of earth will grow strangely bright, in the light of his glory and grace.
