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

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

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

According as he has chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:

Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,

That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.

And has put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,

Among whom also we all had our behavior in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.

Even when we were dead in sins, has made us alive together with Christ, (by grace you are saved;)

For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

Therefore remember, that you being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;

But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off are made near by the blood of Christ.

And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:

For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.

How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote before in few words,

By which, when you read, you may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)

Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;

That the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:

Of which I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.

And to make all men see what is the plan of the mystery, which from the beginning of the ages has been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:

To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,

For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;

That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love,

May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;

And to know the love of Christ, which passes knowledge, that you might be filled with all the fullness of God.

Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that you walk worthy of the vocation by which you are called,

That we from now on be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, by which they lie in wait to deceive;

From whom the whole body being fitly joined together and knit together by that which every joint supplies, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, makes increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.

If so be that you have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:

And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;

Be angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:

And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, by whom you are sealed unto the day of redemption.

Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:

And be you kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake has forgiven you.

Be you therefore followers of God, as dear children;

But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becomes saints;

Be not therefore partakers with them.

But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever does make manifest is light.

Therefore be not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.

And be not drunk with wine, in which is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;

Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.

That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,

That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.

That it may be well with you, and you may live long on the earth.

Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;

Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man does, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

Therefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Above all, taking the shield of faith, with which you shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.

And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,

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

Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen.
