Ephesians 1

¹Paul, an Apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, to all the saints who are at Ephesus and to the faithful in Christ Jesus.

²Grace and peace to you from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

³Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavens, in Christ,

⁴just as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, so that we would be holy and immaculate in his sight, in charity.

⁵He has predestined us to adoption as sons, through Jesus Christ, in himself, according to the purpose of his will,

⁶for the praise of the glory of his grace, with which he has gifted us in his beloved Son.

⁷In him, we have redemption through his blood: the remission of sins in accord with the riches of his grace,

⁸which is superabundant in us, with all wisdom and prudence.

⁹So does he make known to us the mystery of his will, which he has set forth in Christ, in a manner well-pleasing to him,

¹⁰in the dispensation of the fullness of time, so as to renew in Christ everything that exists through him in heaven and on earth.

¹¹In him, we too are called to our portion, having been predestined in accord with the plan of the One who accomplishes all things by the counsel of his will.

¹²So may we be, to the praise of his glory, we who have hoped beforehand in Christ.

¹³In him, you also, after you heard and believed the Word of truth, which is the Gospel of your salvation, were sealed with the Holy Spirit of the Promise.

¹⁴He is the pledge of our inheritance, unto the acquisition of redemption, to the praise of his glory.

¹⁵Because of this, and hearing of your faith that is in the Lord Jesus, and of your love toward all the saints,

¹⁶I have not ceased giving thanks for you, calling you to mind in my prayers,

¹⁷so that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give a spirit of wisdom and of revelation to you, in knowledge of him.

¹⁸May the eyes of your heart be illuminated, so that you may know what is the hope of his calling, and the wealth of the glory of his inheritance with the saints,

¹⁹and the preeminent magnitude of his virtue toward us, toward we who believe in accord with the work of his powerful virtue,

²⁰which he wrought in Christ, raising him from the dead and establishing him at his right hand in the heavens,

²¹above every principality and power and virtue and dominion, and above every name that is given, not only in this age, but even in the future age.

²²And he has subjected all things under his feet, and he has made him the head over the entire Church,

²³which is his body and which is the fullness of him who accomplishes everything in everyone.

Ephesians 1

¹Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, to all the saints who are at Ephesus and to the faithful in Christ Jesus.

²Grace be to you and peace, from God the Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

³Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with spiritual blessings in heavenly places, in Christ:

⁴As he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and unspotted in his sight in charity.

⁵Who hath predestinated us unto the adoption of children through Jesus Christ unto himself: according to the purpose of his will:

⁶Unto the praise of the glory of his grace, in which he hath graced us, in his beloved son.

⁷In whom we have redemption through his blood, the remission of sins, according to the riches of his, grace,

⁸Which hath superabounded in us, in all wisdom and prudence,

⁹That he might make known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure, which he hath purposed in him,

¹⁰In the dispensation of the fulness of times, to re-establish all things in Christ, that are in heaven and on earth, in him.

¹¹In whom we also are called by lot, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things according to the counsel of his will.

¹²That we may be unto the praise of his glory: we who before hoped in Christ:

¹³In whom you also, after you had heard the word of truth (the gospel of your salvation), in whom also believing, you were signed with the holy Spirit of promise.

¹⁴Who is the pledge of our inheritance, unto the redemption of acquisition, unto the praise of his glory.

¹⁵Wherefore, I also, hearing of your faith that is in the Lord Jesus and of your love towards all the saints,

¹⁶Cease not to give thanks for you, making commemoration of you in my prayers,

¹⁷That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and of revelation, in the knowledge of him:

¹⁸The eyes of your heart enlightened that you may know what the hope is of his calling and what are the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints.

¹⁹And what is the exceeding greatness of his power towards us, who believe according to the operation of the might of his power,

²⁰Which he wrought in Christ, raising him up from the dead and setting him on his right hand in the heavenly places.

²¹Above all principality and power and virtue and dominion and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come.

²²And he hath subjected all things under his feet and hath made him head over all the church,

²³Which is his body and the fulness of him who is filled all in all.
