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

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

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenlies in Christ;

having predestined us to the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will,

for an administration of the fullness of times, to head up all things in Christ, both the things in Heaven, and the things on earth, even in Him,

for us to be to the praise of His glory, who previously had trusted in Christ;

that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him,

which He worked in Christ in raising Him from the dead, and He seated Him at His right hand in the heavenlies,

(even when we were dead in sins) has made us alive together with Christ (by grace you are saved),

and has raised us up together and made us sit together in the heavenlies in Christ Jesus,

so that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.

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

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

But now in Christ Jesus you who were once afar off are made near by the blood of Christ.

and are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone,

For this cause, I, Paul, am the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you nations,

by which, when you read, you may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)

that the nations should be fellow heirs, and of the same body, and partaker of His promise in Christ through the gospel.

This grace is given to me (who am less than the least of all saints) to preach the gospel of the unsearchable riches of Christ among the nations,

and to bring to light what is the fellowship of the mystery which from eternity has been hidden in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ;

according to the eternal purpose which He purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord;

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

that Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love,

and to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge, that you might be filled with all the fullness of God.

to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, forever. Amen.

But to every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.

for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ.

And this until we all come into the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a full-grown man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;

But that you, speaking the truth in love, may in all things grow up to Him who is the Head, even Christ;

But you have not so learned Christ,

And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake has forgiven you.

And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us, and has given Himself for us as an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet smelling savor.

For you know this, that no fornicator, or unclean person, or covetous one (who is an idolater), has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

Therefore he says, "Awake, sleeping ones! And arise from the dead, and Christ shall give you light."

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

For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body.

Therefore as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.

Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for it,

This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church.

Slaves, obey your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as to Christ;

not with eye-service, as men-pleasers, but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart,

Peace to the brothers, 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. Amen.
