Paul, apostle of Jesus Christ by God's will, to the saints and faithful in Christ Jesus who are at Ephesus.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenlies in Christ;

in whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of offences, according to the riches of his grace;

in whom we have also obtained an inheritance, being marked out beforehand according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his own will,

that we should be to the praise of his glory who have pre-trusted in the Christ:

in whom ye also have trusted, having heard the word of the truth, the glad tidings of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, ye have been sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,

who is the earnest of our inheritance to the redemption of the acquired possession to the praise of his glory.

and what the surpassing greatness of his power towards us who believe, according to the working of the might of his strength,

which is his body, the fulness of him who fills all in all:

in which ye once walked according to the age of this world, according to the ruler of the authority of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience:

among whom we also all once had our conversation in the lusts of our flesh, doing what the flesh and the thoughts willed to do, and were children, by nature, of wrath, even as the rest:

Wherefore remember that ye, once nations in the flesh, who are called uncircumcision by that called circumcision in the flesh done with the hand;

but now in Christ Jesus ye who once were afar off are become nigh by the blood of the Christ.

For he is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of enclosure,

and, coming, he has preached the glad tidings of peace to you who were afar off, and the glad tidings of peace to those who were nigh.

in whom all the building fitted together increases to a holy temple in the Lord;

in whom ye also are built together for a habitation of God in the Spirit.

that they who are of the nations should be joint heirs, and a joint body, and joint partakers of his promise in Christ Jesus by the glad tidings;

and to enlighten all with the knowledge of what is the administration of the mystery hidden throughout the ages in God, who has created all things,

in whom we have boldness and access in confidence by the faith of him.

of whom every family in the heavens and on earth is named,

one God and Father of all, who is over all, and through all, and in us all.

He that descended is the same who has also ascended up above all the heavens, that he might fill all things;

but, holding the truth in love, we may grow up to him in all things, who is the head, the Christ:

from whom the whole body, fitted together, and connected by every joint of supply, according to the working in its measure of each one part, works for itself the increase of the body to its self-building up in love.

who having cast off all feeling, have given themselves up to lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greedy unsatisfied lust.

For this ye are well informed of, knowing that no fornicator, or unclean person, or person of unbridled lust, who is an idolater, has inheritance in the kingdom of the Christ and God.

giving thanks at all times for all things to him who is God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,

whom I have sent to you for this very thing, that ye may know of our affairs and that he may encourage your hearts.
