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

in whom we have redemption through his blood, the remission of transgressions, according to the riches of his grace,

in whom we were also chosen by lot, having been predestinated according to the purpose of him who works all things within us according to the counsel of his own will;

that we should be unto the praise of his glory, who first exercised hope in Christ:

in whom you also, having heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, in whom, also having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,

who is the earnest of our salvation, unto the redemption of the possession, unto the praise of his glory.

and what the excellent majesty of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of the power of his might

which is his body, the fulness of him who fills all things in all.

You, who were dead in trespasses and in your sins,

among whom we all indeed at one time lived in the lusts of our flesh, doing the will of the flesh and of the thoughts, and we were by nature the children of wrath, like the rest also:

created life in us in Christ, who were dead in trespasses, by grace you have been saved,

But now you are in Christ Jesus, who being at one time far off have been made nigh by the blood of Christ.

And having come he preached the gospel of peace to you, who were far away, and peace to them who were nigh:

in whom the entire edifice, being assimilated, increases into a holy temple in the Lord;

in whom also you are built together into a habitation of God in the Spirit.

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

but speaking the truth in divine love, let its grow up in him in all things, who is the head, Christ;

from whom the whole body, being assimilated and knitted together through every joint of the supply, according to the working in each several part, makes increase of the body in the edification of itself in divine love.

who being past feeling have given themselves up to debauchery, unto the working of all impurity with greediness.

that with reference to your former life, you are to lay aside the old man, who is corrupt in the lusts of deception;

and to put on the new man, who has been created in harmony with God in the righteousness and holiness of the truth.

Let no corrupt communication go forth out of your mouth, but if anything is good unto edification of need, in order that he may give grace to those who hear.

And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed unto the day of redemption.

for you are knowing this, that no fornicator, or unclean person, or covetous, who is an idolater, has an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

Ye servants, obey those who are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in purity of your heart, as unto Christ;

whom I sent to you unto this same thing, in order that you may know the affairs concerning us, and he may comfort your hearts.

Grace be with all who love the Lord Jesus Christ with divine love in purity.
