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

having predestinated us to the adoption of sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will,

in Whom we have our redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace,

For by grace ye have been saved through faith: and this, not of yourselves, it is the gift of God:

and might reconcile both in one body to God through the cross, having slain the enmity thereby;

because through Him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father.

that the gentiles are fellow-heirs, and of the same body, and partners with us of the promise in Christ Jesus through the Gospel;

in order that now might be made known to the principalities and authorities in the heavenly places, through the assembly, the manifold wisdom of God,

in Whom we have boldness and access with confidence through the faith of Him.

that He may grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit as to the inward man;

that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that ye, having been rooted and grounded in love,

There is one body, and one Spirit, even as also ye were called in one hope of your calling;

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

from Whom all the body, fitly framed and knit together through every joint of supply, according to the working in due measure of each single part, secures the growth of the body to the upbuilding of itself in love.

This, therefore, I say, and testify in the Lord, that ye no longer walk as the gentiles also walk, in the vanity of their mind,

being darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardness of their hearts;

the wives, to their own husbands, as to the Lord;

But, as the assembly is subject to Christ, so also let the women be to their husbands in everything.

So ought husbands also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself;

And, masters, do the same thing to them, forbearing the threat; knowing that both their Master and yours is in Heaven, and there is no respect of persons with Him.
