Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God. To the saints which are at Ephesus, and to them which believe on Jesus Christ.

Grace be with you and peace from God our father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

Blessed be God the father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which hath blessed us with all manner of spiritual blessings in heavenly things by Christ,

that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the father of glory, might give unto you the spirit of wisdom, and open to you the knowledge of himself,

But God, which is rich in mercy through his great love wherewith he loved us,

For by grace are ye made safe through faith, and that, not of yourselves: For it is the gift of God,

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, unto the which God ordained us before, that we should walk in them.

remember, I say, that ye were at that time without Christ, and were reputed aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and were strangers from the testaments of promise, and had no hope, and were without God in this world.

And to reconcile both unto God in one body through his cross, and slew hatred thereby:

Now, therefore, ye are no more strangers and foreigners: but citizens with the saints, and of the household of God,

in whom ye also are built together, and made a habitation for God in the spirit.

If ye have heard of the ministration of the grace of God which is given me to you ward -

whereof I am made a minister, by the gift of the grace of God given unto me, through the working of his power.

and to make all men see what the fellowship of the mystery is, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, which made all things through Jesus Christ,

to the intent that now, unto the rulers and powers in heaven, might be known by the congregation the manifold wisdom of God,

and to know what is the love of Christ, which love passeth knowledge: that ye might be fulfilled with all manner of fullness which cometh of God.

one God and father of all, which is above all, through all, and in you all.

till we, everyone - in the unity of faith, and knowledge of the son of God - grow up unto a perfect man, after the measure of age which is of the fullness of Christ:

blinded in their understanding, being strangers from the life which is in God, through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their hearts.

and put on that new man, which after the image of God is shapen in righteousness, and true holiness.

Let him that stole, steal no more; but let him rather labour with his hands some good thing, that he may have to give unto him that needeth.

Let no filthy communication proceed out of your mouths: but that which is good to edify withal, when need is, that it may have favour with the hearers.

And grieve not the holy spirit of God, by whom ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

Be ye courteous one to another, and merciful, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake forgave you.

Be ye followers of God as dear children,

and walk in love even as Christ loved us, and gave himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice of a sweet savour to God.

For this ye know, that no whoremonger, either unclean person, or covetous person, which is the worshipper of images, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ, and of God.

Let no man deceive you with vain words. For through such things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of unbelief.

giving thanks always for all things unto God the father, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ:

submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.

"that thou mayst be in good estate, and live long on the earth."

not with service in the eyesight, as men-pleasers: but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart

with good will, even as though serving the Lord and not men.

And remember that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, that shall he receive again of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.

Put on the armour of God, that ye may stand steadfast against the crafty assaults of the devil.

For this cause, take unto you the armour of God, that ye may be able to resist in the evil day, and to stand perfect in all things.

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

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