PAUL, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, to the saints in [Ephesus] and the faithful in Christ Jesus.

Grace be 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 [worlds] in Christ,

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

in respect to the dispensation of the fullness of times, to bring all things into one in Christ, the things which are in heaven and the things which are on earth, in him

that we should be for a praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ;

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

which he performed in Christ, when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly [worlds],

but God who is rich in mercy, on account of his great love with which he loved us,??5 even when we were dead in sins he made us alive with Christ,??y grace are you saved,

and raised us up and seated us together with Christ Jesus in the heavenly worlds,

that he might show in the ages to come the transcendent riches of his grace in goodness to us by Jesus Christ.

for we are his creation, created in Christ Jesus for good works, in which God before appointed that we should walk.

that at that time you were without Christ, alienated from the polity 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 were formerly far off have been made nigh by the blood of Christ.

being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner-stone,

For this cause I Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ for you gentiles,

by reading which you can understand my knowledge of the mystery of Christ,??5 which in other generations was not made known to the children of men as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit,

that the gentiles are co-heirs and of the same body and joint partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel,

To me, who am the least of all saints, was this grace given, to preach to the nations the unsearchable riches of Christ,

according to the eternal purpose which he made in Christ Jesus our Lord,

that Christ may dwell in your hearts through the faith, you being founded and established in love,

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

to him be the glory in the church in Jesus Christ to all generations, for ever and ever; amen.

And to each 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 edification of the body of 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 the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ,

but speaking the truth with love we may grow to him in all things, who is the head, Christ;

But you have not so learned Christ,

But be kind one to another, merciful, giving one to another, as God also in Christ gave to you.

and walk in love, as Christ also loved us and gave himself for us, an offering and sacrifice to God of good odor.

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

Wherefore he says, Awake you that sleep, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give you light.

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

being subject one to another in the fear of Christ.

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

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

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

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

This is a great mystery; but I speak of Christ and the church.

Servants, be subject to masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in the sincerity of your hearts as to Christ,

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

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

The grace be with all who love our Lord Jesus Christ with constancy.
