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

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who through Christ has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realm.

according as he had chosen us in him through love, before the foundation of the world was laid, that we should be saints, and without blame before him, through love.

having foreordained us unto adoption as sons through Jesus Christ unto himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,

so that we would praise His glorious, unearned favor, which was freely given to us through the One whom God loved [i.e., Christ].

In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;

which He lavished upon us. Through perfect wisdom and spiritual insight

in doing what He intended through Christ, to make known to us His secret plan, according to what pleased Him.

and in arranging, when the time should have fully come, that everything in heaven and on earth should be unified in Christ??11 the Christ through whom it is our lot to have been predestined by the design of him who in everything carries out the purpose of his will,

In him through whom we also have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him that worketh all things after the counsel of his own will,

So that his glory might have praise through us who first had hope in Christ:

In whom you, having been given the true word, the good news of your salvation, and through your faith in him, were given the sign of the Holy Spirit of hope,

For I always beseech the God of our Lord Jesus Christ--the Father most glorious--to give you a spirit of wisdom and penetration through an intimate knowledge of Him,

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

But God, being full of mercy, through the great love which he had for us,

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

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

That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

For he has made us, creating us through our union with Christ Jesus for the life of goodness which God had predestined us to live.

But now [at this very moment] in Christ Jesus you who once were [so very] far away [from God] have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

For it is he who is our peace. Through his mortality he made both groups one by tearing down the wall of hostility that divided them.

and hath also put away, through his flesh, the cause of hatred - that is to say, the law of commandments contained in the law written - for to make of twain one new man in himself, so making peace.

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

For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.

Through him every part of the building is closely united and grows into a temple sacred through its relation to the Lord,

In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

and how this secret was made known to me through a revelation, just as I wrote about briefly in the past.

which in earlier ages was not made known to the human race, as it has now been revealed to His holy Apostles and Prophets through the Spirit--

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,

Of which I was made a preacher, through that grace of God which was given to me in the measure of the working of his power.

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.

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 keeping with the eternal purpose that God carried out through the Messiah Jesus our Lord,

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

Wherefore I beseech you not to faint through my tribulations for you, which is your glory.

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,

and [that you may come] to know [practically, through personal experience] the love of Christ which far surpasses [mere] knowledge [without experience], that you may be filled up [throughout your being] to all the fullness of God [so that you may have the richest experience of God’s presence in your lives, completely filled and flooded with God Himself].

Now to him who is able to do in full measure more than all our desires or thoughts, through the power which is working in us,

to him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus, through out all the generations of the age of ages. Amen.

in all humbleness of mind, and meekness, and long suffering, forbearing one another through love,

Make every effort to maintain the unity of the Spirit through the tie of peace.

One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

that we might no longer be children, tossed and carried about by every wind of teaching, through the artifice of men, through craftiness used by them for the deliberate planning of deceit;

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.

Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:

[I am] assuming that you have heard Him [i.e., through the Gospel message] and were taught the truth that is in [harmony with] Jesus.

that, regarding your previous way of life, you put off your old self [completely discard your former nature], which is being corrupted through deceitful desires,

And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God [but seek to please Him], by whom you were sealed and marked [branded as God’s own] for the day of redemption [the final deliverance from the consequences of sin].

You must be kind to one another, you must be tender-hearted, and forgive one another just as God through Christ has forgiven you.

Let no one deceive you with empty arguments [that encourage you to sin], for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience [those who habitually sin].

to sanctify it, and cleansed it in the fountain of water through the word,

In conclusion, be strong in the Lord [draw your strength from Him and be empowered through your union with Him] and in the power of His [boundless] might.

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 --
