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:

That in the dispensation of the fullness of times he might collect in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:

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

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

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

Wherefore remember, that ye 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, ye, who formerly were far off, are made nigh by the blood of Christ.

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

And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner-stone;

In whom ye also are built together, for a habitation of God through the Spirit.

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

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

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

And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed to the day of redemption.

Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.

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

For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret.

But all things that are reproved, are made manifest by the light: for whatever doth make manifest is light.

Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

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

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