Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, to the sanctified who are at Ephesus, and faithful in Christ Jesus:

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

Blessed is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly things in Christ.

In whom ye also, having heard the word of the truth, the good-news of your salvation, in whom also having believed, ye were sealed with the Holy Spirit of the promise,

So that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in knowledge of him,

But God, being rich in mercy, through his great love that he loved us,

For ye are saved by grace through faith, and this a gift of God, not from you,

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God preordained that we should walk in them.

and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, having slain the enmity by it.

And after coming he preached good-news, peace to you, to those far off and to those near,

So then ye are no more alien and foreign, but fellow citizens of the sanctified, and belonging to the household of God.

in whom ye also are built together in Spirit into a habitation of God.

since indeed ye heard of the administration of the grace of God, which was given to me for you,

For Gentiles to be fellow-heirs, and of the same body, and fellow partakers of his promise in the Christ through the good-news.

Of which I became a helper according to the gift of that grace of God, which was given to me according to the working of his power.

To me, a man less than the least of all the sanctified, this grace was given to preach good-news among the Gentiles, the unsearchable wealth of Christ,

and to make all men see what is the administration of the mystery hidden from the ages in God who created all things through Jesus Christ.

So that now the manifold wisdom of God might be made known to the principal offices and the positions of authority in the heavenly things, through the church,

and to become aware of the love of the Christ, which transcends knowledge, so that ye may be filled in all the fullness of God.

one God and Father of all. He is over all, and through all, and in us all.

Until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to a standard of stature of the fullness of the Christ.

darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the callousness of their heart.

and to put on the new man according to God, the man who was created in righteousness and piety of the truth.

Let the man who steals steal no more, but rather let him labor, working with his hands the good, so that he may have to give to him who has need.

Let no corrupt speech go out of your mouth, rather if there is any good word for edification of a need, so that it may give grace to those who hear.

And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in which ye are sealed for a day of redemption.

And become good toward each other, compassionate, forgiving each other, even as also God in Christ forgave us.

Become ye therefore imitators of God, as beloved children.

And walk in love, as also the Christ loved us, and delivered himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a fragrant aroma.

For ye are men who know this, that no fornicator, or unclean man, or covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of the Christ and God.

Let no man deceive you by empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.

expressing thanks always for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to the God and Father,

Not according to eye-service, as men-pleasers, but as bondmen of Christ, doing the will of God from the soul,

Knowing that whatever good thing each may do, he will receive this from the Lord, whether bondman or freeman.

Put on the full armor of God to enable you to stand against the wiles of the devil.

Because of this take ye up the full armor of God, so that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

and having shod your feet in preparation of the good-news of peace.

And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God,

and for me, so that utterance may be given to me in boldness in opening my mouth to make known the mystery of the good-news,

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