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
:
Grace be to you
, and
peace
, from
God
our
Father
, and
from the Lord
Jesus
Christ
.
Blessed be the God
and
Father
of our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
, who
hath blessed
us
with
all
spiritual
blessings
in
heavenly
places in
Christ
:
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
:
Having predestinated us
unto
the adoption of children
by
Jesus
Christ
to
himself
, according
to the good pleasure
of his
will
,
To the praise
of the glory
of his
grace
, wherein
he hath made
us
accepted
in
the beloved
.
In whom
we have
redemption
through
his
blood
, the forgiveness
of sins
, according
to the riches
of his
grace
;
Wherein he hath abounded
toward
us
in
all
wisdom
and
prudence
;
Having made known unto us
the mystery
of his
will
, according to
his
good pleasure
which
he hath purposed
in
himself
:
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
:
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
:
That we
should be
to
the praise
of his
glory
, who
first trusted
in
Christ
.
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
,
Which is
the earnest
of our
inheritance
until
the redemption
of the purchased possession
, unto
the praise
of his
glory
.
Wherefore I also
, after I heard
of
your
faith
in
the Lord
Jesus
, and
love
unto
all
the saints
,
Cease not
to give thanks
for
you
, making
mention
of you
in
my
prayers
;
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
:
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
,
And what
is the exceeding
greatness
of his
power
to
us-ward
who
believe
, according to
the working
of his
mighty
power
,
Which he wrought
in
Christ
, when he raised
him
from
the dead
, and
set
him at
his own
right hand
in
the heavenly
places ,
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
:
And hath put
all
things under
his
feet
, and
gave
him
to be the head
over
all
things to the church
,
Which is
his
body
, the fulness
of him that filleth
all
in
all
.
