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

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

by which he hath freely accepted us through the beloved, By whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our sins,

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,

That we who first believed in Christ, might be to the praise of his glory.

In whom ye likewise believed, after ye had heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom having believed, ye were also sealed by that Holy Spirit of promise,

Who is an earnest of our inheritance, till the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of his glory.

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

Which is his body; who is the fulness of him that filleth all in all.

who were dead in trespasses and sins, Wherein ye formerly walked, according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the sons of disobedience: Among whom also we all had our conversation in time past,

But God who is rich in mercy,

Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh (who were called the uncircumcision, by that which is called the circumcision made with hands in the flesh) Were at that time without Christ,

But now through Christ Jesus, ye who were once far off are brought nigh by the blood of Christ.

For he is our peace, he who hath made both one,

Built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone, On whom all the building fitly framed together,

On whom ye also are built together, for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints is this grace given, to preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ.

And to let all men see, what is the fellowship of the mystery, which was hidden from the beginning of the world by God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:

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

(Of whom the whole

One God, and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in 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 member, maketh increase of the body, to the edifying of itself in love.

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

For this ye know, that no whoremonger, or unclean person, or covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

Whom I have sent to you for this very thing, that ye might know our affairs, and that he might comfort your hearts.
