Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God,To the saints who are at Ephesus and who are 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 has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,

He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will,

with a view to an administration suitable to the fullness of the times, that is, the summing up of all things in Christ, things in the heavens and things on the earth. In Him

to the end that we who were the first to hope in Christ would be to the praise of His glory.

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

which He brought about in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places,

even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),

and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,

so that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing 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 prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.

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

But now in Christ Jesus you who formerly were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the corner stone,

For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles—

By referring to this, when you read you can understand my insight into the mystery of Christ,

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

To me, the very least of all saints, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unfathomable riches of Christ,

This was in accordance with the eternal purpose which He carried out in Christ Jesus our Lord,

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

and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God.

to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.

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

for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ;

until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ.

but speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, even Christ,

But you did not learn Christ in this way,

Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you.

and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma.

For this you know with certainty, that no immoral or impure person or covetous man, who is an idolater, has an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.

For this reason it says,
“Awake, sleeper,
And arise from the dead,
And Christ will shine on you.”

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

and be subject to one another in the fear of Christ.

For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church, He Himself being the Savior of the body.

But as the church is subject to Christ, so also the wives ought to be to their husbands in everything.

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her,

for no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ also does the church,

This mystery is great; but I am speaking with reference to Christ and the church.

Slaves, be obedient to those who are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in the sincerity of your heart, as to Christ;

not by way of eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but as slaves 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 those who love our Lord Jesus Christ with incorruptible love.
