Paul, an Apostle of Christ Jesus by the purpose of God, to the saints who are at Ephesus, and those who have faith in Christ Jesus:

In whom we have salvation through his blood, the forgiveness of our sins, through the wealth of his grace,

In whom we have a heritage, being marked out from the first in his purpose who does all things in agreement with his designs;

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

And that having the eyes of your heart full of light, you may have knowledge of what is the hope of his purpose, what is the wealth of the glory of his heritage in the saints,

And how unlimited is his power to us who have faith, as is seen in the working of the strength of his power,

Even when we were dead through our sins, gave us life together with Christ (by grace you have salvation),

Because by grace you have salvation through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is given by God:

For this reason keep it in mind that in the past you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are looked on as being outside the circumcision by those who have circumcision, in the flesh, made by hands;

So then you are no longer as those who have no part or place in the kingdom of God, but you are numbered among the saints, and of the family of God,

Which is that the Gentiles have a part in the heritage, and in the same body, and in the same hope in Christ through the good news,

So that Christ may have his place in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and based in love,

May have strength to see with all the saints how wide and long and high and deep it is,

And to have knowledge of the love of Christ which is outside all knowledge, so that you may be made complete as God himself is complete.

There is one body and one Spirit, even as you have been marked out by God in the one hope of his purpose for you;

Whose thoughts are dark, to whom the life of God is strange because they are without knowledge, and their hearts have been made hard;

Who having no more power of feeling, have given themselves up to evil passions, to do all unclean things with overmuch desire.

Let him who was a thief be so no longer, but let him do good work with his hands, so that he may have something to give to him who is in need.

Have no part with such men;

And have no company with the works of the dark, which give no fruit, but make their true quality clear;

Husbands, have love for your wives, even as Christ had love for the church, and gave himself for it;

Even so it is right for husbands to have love for their wives as for their bodies. He who has love for his wife has love for himself:

But do you, everyone, have love for his wife, even as for himself; and let the wife see that she has respect for her husband.

In the knowledge that for every good thing anyone does, he will have his reward from the Lord, If he is a servant or if he is free.

But so that you may have knowledge of my business, and how I am, Tychicus, the well-loved brother and tested servant in the Lord, will give you news of all things:

Whom I have sent to you for this very purpose, so that you may have knowledge of our position, and that he may give comfort to your hearts.

Grace be with all those who have true love for our Lord Jesus Christ.
