Paul, apostle of Christ Jesus by God’s will, to the saints that are in Ephesus and faithful in Christ Jesus.
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and [the] Lord Jesus Christ.
Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ that blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly [places] in Christ,
even as he chose us in him before [the] world’s foundation, that we should be holy and blameless before him in love;
having predestinated us for adoption through Jesus Christ unto himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
unto [the] praise of [the] glory of his grace, wherein he made us objects of grace in the beloved;
in whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of offences, according to the riches of his grace,
which he caused to abound toward us in all wisdom and intelligence,
having made known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in himself
for [the] administration of the fullness of the times, to sum up all things in the Christ, the things in the heavens and the things on the earth, in him
in whom we have also obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to [the] purpose of him that worketh all things according to the counsel of his will,
in order that we should be unto [the] praise of his glory, that have fore-trusted in the Christ;
in whom ye also, having heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, in whom having also believed, ye were sealed by the Holy Spirit of promise,
who is earnest of our inheritance, for [the] redemption of the purchased possession unto [the] praise of his glory.
On this account I also, having heard of the faith that [is] among you in the Lord Jesus and the love that [ye have] toward all the saints,
do not cease giving thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers,
that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, would give you [the] spirit of wisdom and revelation in full knowledge of him,
having the eyes of your heart 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 the surpassing greatness of his power toward us that believe, according to the working of the might of his strength,
which he wrought in the Christ in having raised him out of the dead, and seated [him] at his right hand in the heavenly [places],
far above every principality and authority and power and lordship and every name named not only in this age but also in that to come;
and put all things under his feet, and gave him as head over all things to the assembly,
which is his body, the fullness of him that filleth all in all.
