Paul an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints who are at Ephesus,

That 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,

through his great love wherewith he loved us, Hath quickened us together with Christ, even when we were dead in trespasses, (by grace ye are saved) And hath raised us up together,

For by grace ye are saved through faith; and this not of yourselves:

For we are his workmanship, created through Christ Jesus unto good works, which God had before prepared, that we might walk in them.

But now through Christ Jesus, ye who were once far off are brought nigh by the blood of Christ.

Therefore ye are no longer strangers, and foreigners, but fellow-citizens with the saints and of the houshold of God,

On whom ye also are built together, for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

That the Gentiles are fellow-heirs, and of the same body, and joint-partakers of his promise by Christ through the gospel,

I therefore the prisoner of the Lord beseech you, to walk worthy of the calling wherewith ye are called,

There is one body and one Spirit, as ye are also called in one hope of your calling;

Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour; for we are members one of another.

And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

Neither obscenity, nor foolish talking, or jesting, which are not convenient, but rather thanksgiving.

For ye were once darkness, but now ye are light in the Lord:

For it is a shame even to speak the things which are done by them in secret.

But all things which are reproved are made manifest by the light; for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.

not as fools, but as wise men, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
