 Well, this epistle lesson, this grand and glorious doxology to Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as our triune God works in our life to bring us our salvation in Christ is actually the longest sentence in the Bible. In the English, there's periods, but not in the original language. It's one huge long sentence, and Paul just piles one phrase on top of another as if he can't say enough about God's grace, His overflowing abundant love, and what He has done to save us.
