PAUL, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints that are in Ephesus, and the faithful in Christ Jesus:

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

Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in heavenly things in Christ,

having predestinated us for adoption to himself through Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of his will,

for a dispensation at the fullness of the times, in order that he might bring together for himself all things in the Christ, both those which are in the heavens, and those which are on earth;

that we should be for the praise of his glory; even we, who before had hope in the Christ:

that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the acknowledgment of him,

which he made active in the Christ when he raised him from the dead, and caused him to sit at his right hand in the heavenly places,

made alive with Christ even us, being dead to our offenses, (by grace you are saved,)

and raised us up, and made us sit together in heavenly places, in Christ Jesus;

that he might show, in the ages to come, the exceeding riches of his grace by his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.

For we are his workman ship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God before prepared, that we should walk in them.

that you were at that time without Christ, being aliens from the community of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope, and having no God in the world:

but now, in Christ Jesus, you, who were formerly far off, have become near, by the blood of the Christ.

having been builded upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner-stone,

For this reason, I Paul, the prisoner of the Christ Jesus on account of you Gentiles,

so that, when you read, you can see my understanding in the mystery of the Christ,)

that the Gentiles should be fellow-heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in the Christ, through the gospel,

to me, who am by far the least of all the saints, has this grace been given, that I might preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of the Christ,

according to the arrangement of the ages, which he established by Christ Jesus our Lord,

For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

that Christ may dwell in your hearts through the faith;

and to know the love of the Christ that passes our knowledge, that you may be filled with aft the fullness of God.

to him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus, through out all the generations of the age of ages. Amen.

But grace has been given to each one of us, according to the measure of the gift of the Christ.

for the complete instruction of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the building up of the body of the Christ,

till we all come to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to a measure of stature that fully develops the Christ;

but speaking truthfully in love, we might grow up in all things, into him who is the head, even the Christ,

But you have not so learned the Christ,

and be kind to one another, compassionate, forgiving one another, as God in Christ has forgiven you.

and walk in love, as the Christ also loved us, and gave him self for us as an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet odor.

For you know this, that no lewd nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of the Christ and of God.

Wherefore, the scripture says: Awake you that sleep, and arise from the dead, and Christ will give you light.

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

for the husband is the head of the wife, as the Christ also is the head of the church; and he is the savior of the body.

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

Husbands, love your wives, as the Christ also loved the church, and delivered himself up for it,

for no one ever yet hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Christ the church:

Great is this mystery; but I speak of Christ and of the church.

Servants, be subject to your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in the simplicity of your heart, as to the Christ;

not with eye-service, as pleasing men, but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the soul;

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

Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity.
