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

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

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ who in Christ has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly sphere!

destining us in love to be his sons through Jesus Christ. Such was the purpose of his will,

Hence, as I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints,

May the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, grant you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation for the knowledge of himself,

together with Christ he raised and seated us within the heavenly sphere in Christ Jesus,

to display throughout ages to come his surpassing wealth of grace and goodness toward us in Christ Jesus.

God has made us what we are, creating us in Christ Jesus for the good deeds which are prepared beforehand by God as our sphere of action.

Whereas now, within Christ Jesus, you who once were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

you are a building that rests on the apostles and prophets as its foundation, with Christ Jesus as the cornerstone;

For this reason I Paul, I whom Jesus has made a prisoner for the sake of you Gentiles ??2 for surely you have heard how the grace of God which was vouchsafed me in your interests has ordered it,

namely, that in Christ Jesus the Gentiles are co-heirs, companions, and co-partners in the Promise.

in terms of the eternal purpose which he has realized in Christ Jesus our Lord,

to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations for ever and ever: Amen.

(for it is Christ whom you have been taught, it is in Christ that you have been instructed ??the real Christ who is in Jesus);

and render thanks to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ at all times and for all things.

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

Grace be with all who have an undying love for our Lord Jesus Christ.
