Paul an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, to the saints, who are at Ephesus, even the 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 hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly things by Christ;

having before appointed us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ unto Himself, according to the good pleasure of his will;

that in the dispensation of the fulness of times, He might reduce all things, both in heaven and on earth, under one head in Christ:

that we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.

that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, would give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation to the knowledge of Him,

which He exerted in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead, and set Him at his own right hand in heavenly places,

hath made us alive in Christ, even when we were dead in trespasses, (for by grace ye are saved) and hath raised us up together,

and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.

That in the ages to come He might shew the superabundant riches of his grace, in his kindness towards us through Christ Jesus.

created in Christ Jesus unto good works, for which God before prepared us, that we might walk in them.

and ye were at that time without Christ, aliens 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 formerly afar off, are 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 am the prisoner of Jesus Christ for the sake of you Gentiles:

when ye read it, ye may perceive my knowledge in the mystery of Christ,)

and of the same body, and joint-partakers of his promise in Christ, by the gospel:

On me, who am less than the least of all saints, was this grace bestowed, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,

and make all men to see the communication of the mystery, which from the ages past hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ;

according to the ancient purpose, which He executed 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: and be ye rooted and grounded in love,

and height, and to know the love of Christ, which surpasseth knowledge; that ye may be filled according to the abundant fulness of God.

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

But grace is given to each of us, according to the measure of the gift of Christ.

to the edifying of the body of Christ:

till we all arrive in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, at perfect maturity, even to the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ.

but holding the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him, who is the head, even Christ:

But ye have not so learned Christ;

tender-hearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgiveth you.

even as Christ hath loved us, and given Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for an odor of sweet perfume.

For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, (who is an idolater,) hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

Wherefore He saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.

always giving thanks for all to God even 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 the saviour of that body.

As the church then is subject to Christ, so also should wives be to their own husbands in every thing.

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

This mystery is great: but I speak concerning Christ and the Church.

Servants, obey them that are your masters according to the flesh, with reverential fear, in the simplicity of your heart, as unto Christ:

not with eye-service as men-pleasers, but as servants 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 that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen.
