Chapter 1 | |
1 | Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus: |
2 | Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. |
3 | Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: |
4 | According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: |
5 | Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, |
6 | To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. |
7 | In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; |
8 | Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; |
9 |
Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: |
10 | That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: |
11 | In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: |
12 |
That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. |
13 | In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, |
14 | Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory. |
15 | Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, |
16 | Cease not 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 unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: |
18 | The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, |
19 | And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, |
20 | Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own 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 world, but also in that which is to come: |
22 | And
hath put
all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the
church,
|
23 | Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all. |
