unexamined many details necessary to the presentation of a complete `Form of Sound Words', founded on the

blessed testimony of the apostle Paul. We can but hope that what has been selected and presented here, will

stimulate the reader to gain a fuller and personal apprehension of those things which have not only been written FOR

us, as is `all Scripture', but TO us and ABOUT us, facts which constitute the peculiar sacredness of the Prison Epistles

to the believer of today, who lives during Israel's long lo-ammi period of rejection.

When faced with the new ministry that awaited him, the apostle commended the Ephesian believers to the Lord,

and when he put into writing the new calling, he opened it with a doxology. With his own words on those

memorable occasions, so fraught with meaning, let us bring our present study to a close.

`And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the Word of His grace, which is able to build you up, and to

give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified' (Acts 20:32).

`Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in

heavenly places in Christ: according as He hath chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we

should be holy and without blame before Him in love: having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by

Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace,

wherein He hath made us accepted in the Beloved' (Eph. 1:3-6).
