Eph 1:1
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, to the saints that are at Ephesus, and the faithful in Christ Jesus:Eph 1:2
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.Eph 1:3
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ:Eph 1:4
even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blemish before him in love:Eph 1:5
having foreordained us unto adoption as sons through Jesus Christ unto himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,Eph 1:6
to the praise of the glory of his grace, which he freely bestowed on us in the Beloved:Eph 1:7
in whom we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,Eph 1:8
which he made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence,Eph 1:9
making known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in himEph 1:10
unto a dispensation of the fulness of the times, to sum up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens, and the things upon the earth; in him, I say,Eph 1:11
in whom also we were made a heritage, having been foreordained according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his will;Eph 1:12
to the end that we should be unto the praise of his glory, we who had before hoped in Christ:Eph 1:13
in whom ye also, having heard the word of the truth, the gospel of your salvation,-- in whom, having also believed, ye were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,Eph 1:14
which is an earnest of our inheritance, unto the redemption of God's own possession, unto the praise of his glory.Eph 1:15
For this cause I also, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which is among you, and the love which ye show toward all the saints,Eph 1:16
cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;Eph 1:17
that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him;Eph 1:18
having the eyes of your heart enlightened, that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,Eph 1:19
and what the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to that working of the strength of his mightEph 1:20
which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and made him to sit at his right hand in the heavenly places,Eph 1:21
far above all rule, and authority, and power, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:Eph 1:22
and he put all things in subjection under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things to the church,Eph 1:23
which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
