Deep, high, long, wide

I hope no one is offended if I sometimes wander into translations having to do with religious things. One of my learning-tools is reading from a Spanish Bible - la fe es lo mas importante en mi vida.

Having said that ... this morning in our church service, the pastor made a little list of statements about God's love for us. (He used the verses Ephesians 1:7 and 3:18.) I loved the list, and wanted to re-write it in Spanish.

In English, the verse (3:18, NAS) uses the words "breadth and length and height and depth". Those are nouns. But in his list, the pastor changed them to adjectives: "wide, long, high, deep".

In the Reina-Valera (1995), the nouns are: "la anchura, la longitud, la profundidad y la altura".

If I were translating those adjectives to Spanish, would they be: "ancho, largo, alto, y profundo"?
