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:

though we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved,)

For by grace ye are saved through faith, and this not of yourselves; it is the gift of God:

for we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, for which God hath before prepared us, that we should walk therein.

Wherefore remember that ye in time past were Gentiles in the flesh, who are called uncircumcision by that called circumcision made by hands in the flesh;

but now in Christ Jesus, ye who formerly were far off, are become nigh by the blood of Christ.

So then ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow-citizens with the saints, and of the household of God;

I THEN, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you, that ye walk worthy of the vocation with which ye are called,

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

Are ye provoked; and do you not sin? let not the sun go down upon your wrath:

For ye were formerly darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light;

But all things which are rebukeable are made manifest by the light; for it is the light, by which every thing is made manifest.

redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

for we are the members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
