1Paul an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints who are at Ephesus, 2and to the faithful in Christ Jesus, Grace be to you, and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ. 3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places through Christ, 4As he hath chosen us through him, before the foundation of the world, that we might be holy and blameless before him in love, 5Having predestinated us to the adoption of sons to himself by Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of his will, 6To the praise of the glory of his grace, 7by which he hath freely accepted us through the beloved, By whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our sins, 8according to the riches of his grace, Wherein he hath abounded toward us, 9in all wisdom and prudence, Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in himself, 10That in the dispensation of the fulness of the times, he might gather together into one in Christ all things which are in heaven, and which are in earth, 11In him through whom we also have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him that worketh all things after the counsel of his own will, 12That we who first believed in Christ, might be to the praise of his glory. 13In whom ye likewise believed, after ye had heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom having believed, ye were also sealed by that Holy Spirit of promise, 14Who is an earnest of our inheritance, till the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of his glory. 15Wherefore I also, since I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love to all saints, 16Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers, 17That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, through the knowledge of him. 18The eyes of your understanding being inlightened, that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, 19And what the exceeding greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the energy of his mighty power, 20Which he wrought in Christ, raising him from the dead; and he hath made him sit at his own right-hand in heavenly places, 21Far 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. 22And he hath put all things under his feet, and hath given him to be head over all things to the church, 23Which is his body; who is the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
