Paul, the apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, to the saints who are in Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus.

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

Blessed is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the one having blessed us with all spiritual blessing in the heavenlies in Christ:

in love having predestinated us unto the adoption of sons unto himself through Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of his will,

having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his own good pleasure, which he purposed in himself

in order that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of the glory, may grant unto you the spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the perfect knowledge of himself;

but God, being rich in mercy, on account of his great love with which he loved us,

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

for we are his workmanship, having been created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God before prepared that we should walk in them.

and that he may reconcile both in one body to God through the cross, having slain the enmity on in.

Then therefore you are no longer strangers and sojourners, but fellow-citizens of the saints, and members of the household of God,

in whom also you are built together into a habitation of God in the Spirit.

one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and above you all, and in all.

until we may all come into the unity of the faith, and of the perfect knowledge of the Son of God, into a perfect man, into the measure of the likeness of the fulness of Christ:

being darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God through the ignorance being in themselves, on account of the blindness of their heart;

and to put on the new man, who has been created in harmony with God in the righteousness and holiness of the truth.

Let the one stealing steal no more: but rather let him labor, working with his own hands doing that which is good, that he may have to give to the one having need.

Let no corrupt communication go forth out of your mouth, but if anything is good unto edification of need, in order that he may give grace to those who hear.

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

But be ye kind toward one another, merciful, forgiving one another, as indeed God in Christ forgave you.

Therefore be ye imitators of God, as beloved children;

and walk about in divine love, as Christ also loved you, and gave himself for you, an offering and a sacrifice to God for an odor of sweet savor.

for you are knowing this, that no fornicator, or unclean person, or covetous, who is an idolater, has an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

Let no one deceive you with empty words: for through these the wrath of God comes on the sons of disobedience.

always giving thanks for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father;

not with eyeservice, as menpleasers, but as the servants of Christ doing the will of God from the soul;

serving with good will as the Lord, and not men:

knowing that if each one may do good, he will receive this with the Lord, whether bond or free.

Put on the panoply of God, that you may be able to stand against the methods of the devil,

Therefore take the panoply of God, that you may be able to stand in the evil day, and having done all things, to stand.

And receive the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

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