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

having predestinated us to the adoption of sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will,

for a dispensation of the fulness of the seasons, to sum up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens and the things on the earth; in Him,

that we might 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, would give you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the full knowledge of Him;

which He wrought 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 offenses, made us alive with Christ (by grace ye have been saved),

and raised us up with Him, and made us sit with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus;

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

for we are His workmanship, having been created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God before prepared, that we should walk in them.

that at that time ye were apart from Christ, alienated 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, ye who were once afar off were made nigh in the blood of Christ.

having been 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,

respecting which ye can, by reading, perceive my understanding in the mystery of Christ,

that the gentiles are fellow-heirs, and of the same body, and partners with us of the promise in Christ Jesus through the Gospel;

To me, who am less than the least of all saints, was this grace given, to proclaim, to the gentiles, the glad tidings of the unsearchable riches of Christ;

according to a purpose of the ages which He made in Christ Jesus our Lord,

that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that ye, having been rooted and grounded in love,

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

to Him be the glory in the assembly, and in Christ Jesus, unto all generations of the age of the ages. Amen.

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

with a view to the perfecting of the saints for the work of ministry, for the building up of the body of Christ;

until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the full knowledge of the Son of God, to a full-grown man??o the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ;

but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him, Who is the Head, Christ;

But ye did not so learn Christ;

and become kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, even as God also in Christ forgave you.

and walk in love, as Christ also loved you, and delivered Himself up for you, an offering and a sacrifice to God for an odor of sweet smell.

For this ye know, assuredly, that no fornicator, nor unclean person, nor covetous man (who is an idolater), has any inheritance in the Kingdom of Christ and God.

Wherefore, He saith: "Awake, you who are sleeping; and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine upon you!"

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

submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of Christ;

because a husband is head of the wife, as Christ also is Head of the assembly; Himself the Savior of the body.

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

Husbands, love your wives, as Christ also loved the assembly, and delivered Himself up for it,

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

This mystery is great; but I am speaking of Christ and of the assembly.

Servants, 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 servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the soul,

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

Grace be with all who love our Lord Jesus Christ in incorruptness.
