Ephesians 1:22-2:3 (17th Monday after Pentecost)
BRETHREN, he has put all things under his feet and has made him the head over all things for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.
And you he made alive, when you were dead through the trespasses and sins in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience. Among these we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, following the desires of body and mind, and so we were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind.
