Deleted Scenes (Eph 3:14-19; 6:4) 14 For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, 15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth takes its name. 16 I pray that, according to the riches of his glory, he may grant that you may be strengthened in your inner being with power through his Spirit, 17 and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, as you are being rooted and grounded in love. 18 I pray that you may have the power to comprehend, with all the saints, what is the breadth and length and height and depth, 19 and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. 4 Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

Last Words (Dt 31:30-32:14) The Song of Moses 30 Then Moses recited the words of this song, to the very end, in the hearing of the whole assembly of Israel: 32 Give ear, O heavens, and I will speak;     let the earth hear the words of my mouth. 2 May my teaching drop like the rain,     my speech condense like the dew; like gentle rain on grass,     like showers on new growth. 3 For I will proclaim the name of the Lord;     ascribe greatness to our God! 4 The Rock, his work is perfect,     and all his ways are just. A faithful God, without deceit,     just and upright is he; 5 yet his degenerate children have dealt falsely with him,     a perverse and crooked generation. 6 Do you thus repay the Lord,     O foolish and senseless people? Is not he your father, who created you,     who made you and established you? 7 Remember the days of old,     consider the years long past; ask your father, and he will inform you;     your elders, and they will tell you. 8 W
