Paul, an apostle (special messenger, personally chosen representative) of Christ Jesus (the Messiah, the Anointed), by the will of God [that is, by His purpose and choice],

To the saints (God’s people) who are at Ephesus and are faithful and loyal and steadfast in Christ Jesus:

Grace to you and peace [inner calm and spiritual well-being] from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Blessed and worthy of praise be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms in Christ,

He predestined and lovingly planned for us to be adopted to Himself as [His own] children through Jesus Christ, in accordance with the kind intention and good pleasure of His will—

For this reason, because I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all God’s people,

[I always pray] that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may grant you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation [that gives you a deep and personal and intimate insight] into the true knowledge of Him [for we know the Father through the Son].

And He raised us up together with Him [when we believed], and seated us with Him in the heavenly places, [because we are] in Christ Jesus,

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.

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,

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: -

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, -

and to make plain [to everyone] the plan of the mystery [regarding the uniting of believing Jews and Gentiles into one body] which [until now] was kept hidden through the ages in [the mind of] God who created all things.

According to a plan of the ages which he made in the anointed Jesus our Lord, -

For this reason [grasping the greatness of this plan by which Jews and Gentiles are joined together in Christ] I bow my knees [in reverence] before the Father [of our Lord Jesus Christ],

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

[There is] one Lord [i.e., Jesus], one faith [i.e., one body of teaching], one immersion [i.e., in water for the forgiveness of sins],

If, at least, it is, him, ye have heard, and, in him, ye have been taught - even as truth is in Jesus, -

And be ye kind one to another, having good bowels, favoring each other, as also God in Christ Jesus favored you.

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

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.
