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,

And ordained us before unto himself that we should be chosen before, through Jesus Christ, to be heirs unto himself according to the pleasure of his will,

Wherefore even I - after that I heard of the faith which ye have in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints -

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,

and hath raised us up together and made us sit together in heavenly things through Christ Jesus.

For to show, in times to come, the exceeding riches of his grace, in kindness to us ward, in Christ Jesus.

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.

But now in Christ Jesus, ye which a while ago were far off, are made nigh by the blood of Christ.

and are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets - Jesus Christ being the head cornerstone -

For this cause, I Paul the servant of Jesus Christ am in bonds for your sakes, which are heathen -

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,

according to that eternal purpose, which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord,

For this cause I bow my knees unto the father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

be praise in the congregation by Jesus Christ, throughout all generations from time to time. Amen.

If so be ye have heard of him, and are taught in him, even as the truth is in Jesus:

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

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

Grace be with all them which love our Lord Jesus Christ in pureness. Amen. {Sent from Rome unto the Ephesians by Tychicus.}
