Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, to the saints who are in Ephesus and faithful in Christ Jesus:

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Blessed [is] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly [places] in Christ,

having predestined us to adoption through Jesus Christ to himself according to the good pleasure of his will,

for the administration of the fullness of times, to bring together all things in Christ, the things in the heavens and the things on the earth, in him

[that] we who hoped beforehand in Christ should be for the praise of his glory,

that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, {the glorious Father}, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him

which he has worked in Christ, raising him from the dead and seating [him] at his right hand in the heavenly [places],

and we being dead in trespasses, he made [us] alive together with Christ (by grace you are saved),

and raised [us] together and seated [us] together in the heavenly [places] in Christ Jesus,

in order that he might show in the coming ages the surpassing riches of his grace in kindness upon us in Christ Jesus.

For we are his creation, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, so that we may walk in them.

that you were at that time apart from Christ, alienated from the citizenship of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, not having hope, and without God in the world.

But now in Christ Jesus you, the ones who once were far away, have become near by the blood of Christ.

built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone,

On account of this I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles

so that you may be able when you read to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ

[that] the Gentiles are fellow heirs, and fellow members of the body, and fellow sharers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel,

To me, the least of all the saints, was given this grace: to proclaim the good news of the fathomless riches of Christ to the Gentiles,

according to the purpose of the ages which he carried out in Christ Jesus our Lord,

[that] Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith (you having been firmly rooted and established in love),

and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, in order that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God.

to him [be] the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.

Now to each one of us was given this grace, according to the measure of Christ's gift.

for the equipping of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for building up the body of Christ,

until we all reach the unity of the faith and the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to a measure of the maturity of the fullness of Christ,

But speaking the truth in love, we are to grow into him [with reference to] all [things], who is the head, Christ,

But you did not learn Christ in this way,

Become kind toward one another, compassionate, forgiving one another, just as also God in Christ has forgiven you.

and live in love, just as also Christ loved us, and gave himself for us an offering and sacrifice to God for a fragrant smell.

For this you know {for certain}, that every sexually immoral [person], or unclean [person], or greedy [person] (who is an idolater), does not have an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.

for everything made visible is light. Therefore it says, Wake up, sleeper, and rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.

giving thanks always for all [things] in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to the God and Father,

being subject to one another {out of reverence for} Christ

because [the] husband is [the] head of the wife, as also Christ [is the] head of the church (he himself [being the] Savior of the body).

But as the church is subject to Christ, thus also wives [should be subject] to their husbands in everything.

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for her;

For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as also Christ [does] the church,

(This mystery is great, but I am speaking with reference to Christ and the church.)

Slaves, obey your earthly masters with fear and trembling, in the sincerity of your heart, as to Christ,

not {while being watched}, as people pleasers, but as slaves of Christ doing the will of God from the heart,

Peace to the brothers and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Grace [be] with all who love our Lord Jesus Christ in incorruptibility.
