Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus, through God's will, unto the saints who are in Ephesusand faithful in Christ Jesus, -

Blessed, be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with every spiritual blessing, in the heavenlies, in Christ,

marking us out beforehand unto sonship, through Jesus Christ, for himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,

For an administration of the fulness of the seasons, to reunite for himself (under one head) the all things in the Christ, the things upon the heavens, and the things upon the earth, in him:

That we should be for the praise of his glory - we who had hoped beforehand in the Christ, -

That, the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, would give you a Spirit of wisdom and understanding in gaining a personal knowledge of him, -

which he energised in the Christ, when he raised him from among the dead, and seated him at his right hand in the heavenlies,

Although we were dead by our offences, gave us life together with the Christ, - by favour, ye have been saved, -

And raised us up together, and seated us together in the heavenlies, in Christ:

That he might point out, in the oncoming ages, the surpassing riches of his favour in graciousness upon us, in Christ Jesus;

His, in fact we are - his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus upon a footing of good works, which God prepared beforehand, that, therein, we might walk.

That ye were, in that season, separate from Christ, alienated from the citizenship of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and godless in the world;

But, just now, in Christ Jesus, ye, who at one time were afar off, were made nigh in the blood of the Christ;

Having been built up on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, there being, for chief corner stone, Jesus Christ himself, -

For this cause, I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus in behalf of you the nations: -

Respecting which ye can, by reading, perceive my discernment in the sacred secret of the Christ, -

That they who are of the nations should be joint heirs, and a joint body, and joint partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through means of the glad-message, -

Unto me - the less than least of all saints, was given this favour, unto the nations, to announce the glad-message of the untraceable riches of the Christ,

That the Christ may dwell, through means of your faith, in your hearts, in love, having become rooted and founded,

To get to know, also, the knowledge-surpassing, love of the Christ, - in order that ye may be filled unto all the fulness of God:

Unto him, be the glory, in the assembly, and in Christ Jesus - unto all the generations of the age of ages; Amen: -

To each one of you, however, hath favour been given, according to the measure of the free-gift of the Christ;

With a view to the fitting of the saints for the work of ministering, for an upbuilding of the body of the Christ;

Until we all advance - into the oneness of the faith, and the personal knowledge of the Son of God, into a man of full-growth, into the measure of the stature of the fulness of the Christ;

But, pursuing truth - may, in love, grow into him in all things, - who is the head, Christ, -

Ye, however, have, not thus, learned the Christ: -

And be ye gracious one to another, tenderly affectionate, in favour forgiving one another - even as, God also, in Christ, hath in favour forgiven you;

And walk in love - even as, the Christ also, loved you, and delivered himself up in your behalf, an offering and sacrifice unto God, for a fragrance of sweet smell.

For, this, ye know, if ye take note - that no fornicator, or impure or greedy person, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of the Christ and God.

Wherefore it saith - Up! thou sleeper, and arise from among the dead, and the Christ will shine upon thee.

Giving thanks, always, for all things, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, unto your God and Father;

Submitting yourselves one to another in reverence of Christ, -

Because, a husband, is the head of his wife, as, the Christ also, is the head of the assembly, he, being the saviour of the body, -

Nevertheless, as, the assembly, submitteth herself unto the Christ, so, the wives, unto their husbands, in everything:

Ye husbands, be loving your wives, even as, the Christ also, loved the assembly, and delivered, himself, up in her behalf,

No one, in fact, ever yet hated, his own flesh, but nourisheth and cherisheth it, - even as, the Christ, the assembly,

This sacred secret, is, great, - I, however, am speaking as to Christ and as tothe assembly; -

Ye servants, be obedient unto them who, after the flesh, are your masters, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto the Christ;

Not by way of eye-service as man-pleasers, but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God, from the soul,

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

Favour be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ with incorruptness.
