[This letter is from] Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus, according to God's will, [and is being sent] to the saints [i.e., God's holy people] at Ephesus [Note: This was a major city in the western province of Asia Minor, and now a part of Turkey. The words "at Ephesus" are omitted in some manuscripts, suggesting it was a circular letter], and the faithful ones in [fellowship with] Christ Jesus [everywhere else ?].

unto a dispensation of the fulness of the times, to sum up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens, and the things upon the earth; in him, I say,

and what God's tremendous power [working] in us believers is. [This power is] the same as that utilized by God's mighty strength,

The same mighty power was exerted upon the Christ, when he raised the Christ from the dead and 'caused him to sit at his right hand' on high, exalting him above all Angels and Archangels of every rank,

even when we were [spiritually] dead and separated from Him because of our sins, He made us [spiritually] alive together with Christ (for by His grace—His undeserved favor and mercy—you have been saved from God’s judgment).

for thro' him both of us have access by the same spirit to the father.

That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:

There is but one body and but one Spirit, as also when you were called you had one and the same hope held out to you.

Every one of us, however, has been entrusted with some charge, each in accordance with the extent of the gift of the Christ.

He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)

And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;

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.

For you [should] know this for certain: No sexually immoral or [morally] impure person, or greedy person, who is [the same as] an idol worshiper, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.

but all things, when they are rebuked of the light, are manifest. For whatsoever is manifest, that same is light.

For the husband is the wife's head, even as Christ is the head of the congregation, and the same is the saviour of the body.

In the same way, husbands are to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.

To sum up, each one of you is to love his wife as himself, and the wife is to respect her husband.

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

And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him.

through all prayer and supplication praying at all times in the Spirit, and in regard to this same, watching in all perseverance and supplication for all the saints --

Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that ye might know our affairs, and that he might comfort your hearts.
