Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, To the saints who are in Ephesus, and faithful in Christ Jesus: |
2
|
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. |
3
|
Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly [places] in Christ, |
4
|
just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, |
5
|
having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, |
6
|
to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He has made us accepted in the Beloved. |
7
|
In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace |
8
|
which He made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence, |
9
|
having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself, |
10
|
that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth -- in Him. |
11
|
In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will, |
12
|
that we who first trusted in Christ should be to the praise of His glory. |
13
|
In Him you also [trusted,] after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, |
14
|
who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory. |
15
|
Therefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, |
16
|
do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers: |
17
|
that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, |
18
|
the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, |
19
|
and what [is] the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power |
20
|
which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated [Him] at His right hand in the heavenly [places,] |
21
|
far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come. |
22
|
And He put all [things] under His feet, and gave Him [to be] head over all [things] to the church, |
23
|
which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all. |
