Rejoicing in the habitable part of His earth, And my delights `are' with the sons of men.
and to cause all to see what `is' the fellowship of the secret that hath been hid from the ages in God, who the all things did create by Jesus Christ, that there might be made known now to the principalities and the authorities in the heavenly `places', through the assembly, the manifold wisdom of God,
