Paul, the apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, to the saints who are in Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus.

Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Blessed is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the one having blessed us with all spiritual blessing in the heavenlies in Christ:

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

in the economy of the fulness of the times, to rehead all things in Christ, those in the heavens, and those upon the earth; in him,

that we should be unto the praise of his glory, who first exercised hope in Christ:

in order that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of the glory, may grant unto you the spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the perfect knowledge of himself;

which he has wrought in Christ, raising him from the dead, and seating him on his right hand in the heavenlies,

created life in us in Christ, who were dead in trespasses, by grace you have been saved,

and he has raised you up, and caused you to sit in the heavenlies, in Christ Jesus:

in order that he may show in coming ages the superabounding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

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

because you were at that time without Christ, being alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers of the covenants of the promise, having no hope and being atheists in the world.

But now you are in Christ Jesus, who being at one time far off have been made nigh by the blood of Christ.

having been built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone,

And to each one of you grace is given according to the measure of the gift of Christ.

unto the perfection of the saints, in the work of the ministry, in the edification of the body of Christ:

until we may all come into the unity of the faith, and of the perfect knowledge of the Son of God, into a perfect man, into the measure of the likeness of the fulness of Christ:

but speaking the truth in divine love, let its grow up in him in all things, who is the head, Christ;

But you did not so learn Christ:

But be ye kind toward one another, merciful, forgiving one another, as indeed God in Christ forgave you.

and walk about in divine love, as Christ also loved you, and gave himself for you, an offering and a sacrifice to God for an odor of sweet savor.

for you are knowing this, that no fornicator, or unclean person, or covetous, who is an idolater, has an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

Therefore he says, Awake, thou sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine upon thee.

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

being submissive to one another in the fear of Christ.

because the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ is also the head of the church, being himself the saviour of the body.

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

Husbands, love your wives with divine love, as Christ also loved the church with divine love, and gave himself for her;

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

This is a great mystery: but I speak in reference to Christ and the church.

Ye servants, obey those who are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in purity of your heart, as unto Christ;

not with eyeservice, as menpleasers, but as the servants of Christ doing the will of God from the soul;

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

Grace be with all who love the Lord Jesus Christ with divine love in purity.
