Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, to the saints who 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 has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ;

having predestined us for adoption as children through Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his desire,

to an administration of the fullness of the times, to sum up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens, and the things on the earth, in him;

to the end that we should be to 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 to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him;

which he worked 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 you have 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 prepared before that we would walk in them.

that you 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 you who once were far off are made near in the blood of Christ.

being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief cornerstone;

For this cause I, Paul, am the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles,

by which, when you read, you can perceive my understanding in the mystery of Christ;

that the Gentiles are fellow heirs, and fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of his promise in Christ Jesus through the Good News,

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

and to make all men see what is the administration of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in God, who created all things through 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 through faith; to the end that you, being rooted and grounded in love,

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

to him be the glory in the assembly and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.

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

for the perfecting of the saints, to the work of serving, 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 full grown man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;

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

But you did not learn Christ that way;

And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you.

Walk in love, even as Christ also loved you, and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling fragrance.

Know this for sure, that no sexually immoral person, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the Kingdom of Christ and God.

Therefore he says, "Awake, you who sleep, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you."

giving thanks always concerning 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 assembly, being himself the savior of the body.

But as the assembly is subject to Christ, so let the wives also be to their own husbands in everything.

Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it;

This mystery is great, but I speak concerning Christ and of the assembly.

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

not in the way of service only when eyes are on you, as men pleasers; but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;

Peace be 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 with incorruptible love. Amen.
