Ephesians 1
Eph 1:1 Paul, an
apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, to the saints who
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 has 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 would be
holy and without blemish before him in love;
Eph 1:5 having
predestined us for adoption as children through Jesus Christ to
himself, according to the good pleasure of his desire,
Eph 1:6 to the praise
of the glory of his grace, by which he freely bestowed favor 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 to
us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he
purposed in him
Eph 1:10 to an
administration of the fullness of the times, to sum up all things in
Christ, the things in the heavens, and the things on the earth, in
him;
Eph 1:11 in whom also
we were assigned an inheritance, having been foreordained according
to the purpose of him who works all things after the counsel of his
will;
Eph 1:12 to the end
that we should be to the praise of his glory, we who had before hoped
in Christ:
Eph 1:13 in whom you
also, having heard the word of the truth, the Good News of your
salvation,--in whom, having also believed, you were sealed with the
Holy Spirit of promise,
Eph 1:14 who is a
pledge of our inheritance, to the redemption of God's own possession,
to 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 you have toward all the saints,
Eph 1:16 don't cease 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 to you a
spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him;
Eph 1:18 having the
eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope
of his calling, and what are the riches of the glory of his
inheritance in the saints,
Eph 1:19 and what is
the exceeding greatness of his power toward us who believe, according
to that working of the strength of his might
Eph 1:20 which he
worked 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 age, but also in that which is to come.
Eph 1:22 He put all
things in subjection under his feet, and gave him to be head over all
things for the assembly,
Eph 1:23 which is his
body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.
