Epistle of St. Paul to the Ephesians
chapter 1
1
Paul,
an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, to all the saints who are at
Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus.
2 Grace be to you, and peace from God the Father, and
from the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Blessed by the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
who hath blessed us with spiritual blessings in heavenly places, in Christ:
4 As he chose us in him before the foundation of the
world, that we should be holy and unspotted in his sight in charity.
5 Who hath predestinated us unto the adoption of
children through Jesus Christ unto himself: according to the purpose of his
will:
6 Unto the praise of the glory of his grace, in which
he hath graced us in his beloved son.
7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the
remission of sins, according to the riches of his grace,
8 Which hath superabounded in us in all wisdom and
prudence,
9 That he might make known unto us the mystery of his
will, according to his good pleasure, which he hath purposed in him,
10 In the dispensation of the fulness of times, to
re-establish all things in Christ, that are in heaven and on earth, in him.
11 In whom we also are called by lot, being
predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things according
to the counsel of his will.
12 That we may be unto the praise of his glory, we who
before hoped Christ:
13 In whom you also, after you had heard the word of
truth, (the gospel of your salvation;) in whom also believing, you were signed
with the holy Spirit of promise,
14 Who is the pledge of our inheritance, unto the
redemption of acquisition, unto the praise of his glory.
15 Wherefore I also, hearing of your faith that is in
the Lord Jesus, and of your love towards all the saints,
16 Cease not to give thanks for you, making
commemoration of you in my prayers,
17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of
glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and of revelation, in the
knowledge of him:
18 The eyes of your heart enlightened, that you may
know what the hope is of the glory of his inheritance in the saints.
19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power
towards us, who believe according to the operation of the might of his power,
20 Which he wrought in Christ, raising him up from the
dead, and setting him on his right hand in the heavenly places.
21 Above all principality, and power, and virtue, and
dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in
that which is to come.
22 And he hath subjected all things under his feet, and
hath made him head over all the church,
23 Which is his body, and the fulness of him who is
filled all in all.
