Paul, an apostle (special messenger, personally chosen representative) of Christ Jesus (the Messiah, the Anointed), by the will of God [that is, by His purpose and choice],

To the saints (God’s people) who are at Ephesus and are faithful and loyal and steadfast in Christ Jesus:

When he made known to us his hidden purpose. And it also accords with the good-will which God purposed to exhibit in Christ,

the same in himself to have it declared when the time were full come: that all things, both the things which are in heaven, and also the things which are in earth, should be gathered together, even in Christ. That is to say, in him

In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:

In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints,

I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints,

Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:

Also you -- being dead in the trespasses and the sins,

who were dead in trespasses and sins, Wherein ye formerly walked, according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the sons of disobedience: Among whom also we all had our conversation in time past,

Among whom also we all had our conversation 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.

Together with Christ Jesus He also raised us up and seated us in the heavens,

and hath also put away, through his flesh, the cause of hatred - that is to say, the law of commandments contained in the law written - for to make of twain one new man in himself, so making peace.

[This was also intended] to reestablish harmony between both of these peoples and God in [this] one body, through [Christ's death on] the cross. By doing this He put to death the hostility [between them].

In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

And also that it was by direct revelation that the hidden purpose of God was made known to me, as I have already briefly told you.

That the gentiles should be inheritors also, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise that is in Christ, by the means of the gospel,

and to make plain [to everyone] the plan of the mystery [regarding the uniting of believing Jews and Gentiles into one body] which [until now] was kept hidden through the ages in [the mind of] God who created all things.

to know also the love of the Christ that is exceeding the knowledge, that ye may be filled -- to all the fulness of God;

There is one body, and one Spirit, even as also ye were called in one hope of your calling;

(Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?

He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)

This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye no longer walk as the Gentiles also walk, in the vanity of their mind,

Let all bitterness and all passionate feeling, all anger and loud insulting language, be unknown among you--and also every kind of malice.

and be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, even as God also in Christ forgave you.

And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.

also filthiness, and foolish talking, or jesting, -- the things not fit -- but rather thanksgiving;

and do not have fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather also reprove them,

For the things done secretly by them it is also shameful to speak.

For the husband is the head of the wife, and Christ also is the head of the church, being himself the saviour of the body.

But as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives also be to their husbands in everything.

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

Even so ought husbands also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his own wife loveth himself:

for no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as Christ also the church;

Nevertheless do ye also severally love each one his own wife even as himself; and let the wife'see that she fear her husband.

And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him.

Have also the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is God's word;

And pray for me, that words may be given to me when I open my mouth, to proclaim boldly the mystery of the good news [of salvation],

But that ye also may know my affairs, and how I do, Tychicus, a beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, shall make known to you all things:
