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 hath 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 worketh 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 ye also trusted, after ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

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

And you hath he revived, who were dead in trespasses and sins;

Among whom also we all had our manner of life 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,

Wherefore remember, that ye 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, ye, who formerly were far off, are made nigh by the blood of Christ.

For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath 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 nigh.

In whom all the building fitly framed together, groweth to a holy temple in the Lord:

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

To 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 fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:

In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of 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 fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body to the edifying of itself in love.

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

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

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