Ephesians 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.
