Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God. To the saints which are at Ephesus, and to them which believe on Jesus 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 we are made heirs, and were thereto predestinate according to the purpose of him which worketh all things after the purpose of his own will:

above all rule, power, and might, and domination, and above all names that are named, not in this world only, but also in the world to come.

even when we were dead by sin, hath quickened us together in Christ - for by grace are ye saved -

For by grace are ye made safe through faith, and that, not of yourselves: For it is the gift of God,

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, unto the which God ordained us before, that we should walk in them.

Wherefore, remember that ye, being in time past gentiles in the flesh, and were called "uncircumcision" to them which are called "circumcision" in the flesh - which circumcision is made by hands -

But now in Christ Jesus, ye which a while ago were far off, are made nigh by the blood of Christ.

Now, therefore, ye are no more strangers and foreigners: but citizens with the saints, and of the household of God,

and are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets - Jesus Christ being the head cornerstone -

in whom ye also are built together, and made a habitation for God in the spirit.

For this cause, I Paul the servant of Jesus Christ am in bonds for your sakes, which are heathen -

by whom we are bold to draw nigh in that trust, which we have by faith on him.

I therefore which am in bonds for the Lord's sake, exhort you, that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,

being one body, and one spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling.

If so be ye have heard of him, and are taught in him, even as the truth is in Jesus:

Wherefore, put away lying, and speak every man truth unto his neighbor, forasmuch as we are members one of another.

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

neither filthiness, neither foolish talking, neither jestings, which are not comely: but rather giving of thanks.

Ye were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord. Walk as children of light.

For it is shame even to name those things which are done of them in secret:

but all things, when they are rebuked of the light, are manifest. For whatsoever is manifest, that same is light.

redeeming the time: for the days are evil.

For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
