Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, to the saints that are at Ephesus, and the faithful in Christ Jesus:

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

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ:

having foreordained us unto adoption as sons through Jesus Christ unto himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,

unto a dispensation of the fulness of the times, to sum up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens, and the things upon the earth; in him, I say,

to the end that we should be unto the praise of his glory, we who had before hoped in Christ:

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

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

even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace have ye been saved),

and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places , in Christ Jesus:

that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus:

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

that ye were at that time separate from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of the promise, having no hope and without God in the world.

But now in Christ Jesus ye that once were far off are made nigh in the blood of Christ.

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

For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus in behalf of you Gentiles,--

whereby, when ye read, ye can perceive my understanding in the mystery of Christ;

to wit , that the Gentiles are fellow-heirs, and fellow-members of the body, and fellow-partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel,

Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, was this grace given, to preach unto the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;

according to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:

that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; to the end that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,

and to know the love of Christ which passeth knowledge, that ye may be filled unto all the fulness of God.

unto him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus unto all generations for ever and ever. Amen.

But unto each one of us was the grace given according to the measure of the gift of Christ.

for the perfecting of the saints, unto the work of ministering, unto the building up of the body of Christ:

till we all attain unto the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a fullgrown man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:

but speaking truth in love, we may grow up in all things into him, who is the head, even Christ;

But ye did not so learn Christ;

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

and walk in love, even as Christ also loved you, and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for an odor of a sweet smell.

For this ye know of a surety, that no fornicator, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.

Wherefore he'saith, Awake, thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall shine upon thee.

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

subjecting yourselves one to another in the fear of Christ.

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 up for it;

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

This mystery is great: but I speak in regard of Christ and of the church.

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

not in the way of eyeservice, as men-pleasers; but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;

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

Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ with a love incorruptible.
