The young lady almost ran. She seemed oblivious, and yet, a part of her knew they were always staring at her. Everywhere she went they gawked and gazed. But what did you expect from commoners when a Princess dashed into the room? She reached up to her curly braids as if to reassure her…

Let us conclude our study of Ephesians with a mandate on how to fight against these evil days. But first a recap: Ephesians 1-3 These chapters go over many things, very thick with theology.
