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

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

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

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

That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.

In whom you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after you believed, you were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise,

Who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.

And what is the exceeding greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,

And you has he made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins:

Among whom also we all had our behavior in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.

But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us,

Therefore remember, that you being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;

But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off are made near by the blood of Christ.

For he is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of partition between us;

And came and preached peace to you who were afar off, and to them that were near.

In whom all the building fitly framed together grows unto a holy temple in the Lord:

In whom you also are built together for a habitation of God through the Spirit.

Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;

And to make all men see what is the plan of the mystery, which from the beginning of the ages has been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:

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

Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,

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

But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, who is the head, even Christ:

From whom the whole body being fitly joined together and knit together by that which every joint supplies, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, makes increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.

Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto licentiousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.

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

For this you know, that no fornicator, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

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