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

having foreordained us unto adoption as sons through Jesus Christ unto 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,

And you did he make alive, when ye were dead through your trespasses and sins,

even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace have ye been saved),

for by grace have ye been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God;

and might reconcile them both in one body unto God through the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:

for through him we both have our access in one Spirit unto the Father.

to wit , that the Gentiles are fellow-heirs, and fellow-members of the body, and fellow-partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel,

to the intent that now unto the principalities and the powers in the heavenly places might be made known through the church the manifold wisdom of God,

in whom we have boldness and access in confidence through our faith in him.

that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, that ye may be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inward man;

that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; to the end that ye, being 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 that which every joint supplieth, according to the working in due measure of each several part, maketh the increase of the body unto the building up of itself in love.

This I say therefore, 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 hardening of their heart;

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

Even so ought husbands also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his own wife loveth himself:

And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, and forbear threatening: knowing that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no respect of persons with him.
