Ephesians 1
1. Paul <3972>, an apostle <652> of Jesus
<2424>
Christ
<5547> by the will <2307> of God <
2316>, to the saints
<40>
which <3588> are at <1722> Ephesus <
2181>, and to the
faithful <4103> in Christ <5547> Jesus <
2424>:
2 Grace <5485> [be] to you, and peace <
1515>, from
God
<2316> our Father <3962>, and [from] the
Lord <2962>
Jesus
<2424> Christ <5547>.
3. Blessed <2128> [be] the God <2316> and
Father
<3962> of
our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <
5547>, who <3588>
hath
blessed <2127> us with all <3956> spiritual
<4152>
blessings
<2129> in heavenly <2032> [places] in
Christ <5547>:
4 According <2531> as he hath chosen <
1586> us in him
before <4253> the foundation <2602> of the
world
<2889>,
that we should be holy <40> and without <
299> blame
<299>
before <2714> him in love <26>:
5 Having predestinated <4309> us unto the
adoption
<5206>
of children <5206> by Jesus <2424> Christ
<5547> to
himself
<848>, according <2596> to the good
pleasure <2107> of
his
will <2307>,
6 To the praise <1868> of the glory <1391>
of his
grace
<5485>, wherein <3757> he hath made <
5487> us accepted
<5487> in the beloved <25>.
7 In whom <3739> we have <2192>
redemption <629>
through
<1223> his blood <129>, the forgiveness <
859> of sins
<3900>, according <2596> to the riches <
4149> of his
grace
<5485>;
8 Wherein <3757> he hath abounded <4052>
toward
<1519> us
in all <3956> wisdom <4678> and prudence
<5428>;
9 Having made <1107> known <1107> unto us
the mystery
<3466> of his will <2307>, according <
2596> to his good
pleasure <2107> which <3739> he hath
purposed <4388> in
himself <848>:
10 That in the dispensation <3622> of the
fulness
<4138>
of times <2540> he might gather <346>
together <346>
in one
all <3956> things in Christ <5547>, both
<5037> which
<3588>
are in heaven <3772>, and which <3588> are
on <1909>
earth
<1093>; [even] in him:
11 In whom <3739> also <2532> we have
obtained
<2820> an
inheritance <2820>, being predestinated <
4309>
according
<2596> to the purpose <4286> of him who
worketh <1754>
all
<3956> things after <2596> the counsel <
1012> of his
own
<848> will <2307>:
12 That we should be to the praise <1868> of
his
glory
<1391>, who <3588> first <4276>
trusted <4276> in
Christ
<5547>.
13 In whom <3739> ye also <2532>
[trusted], after
that ye
heard <191> the word <4487> of truth <
225>, the gospel
<2098> of your <5216> salvation <4991>
: in whom <3739>
also
ephesians
2
<2532> after that ye believed <4100>, ye
were sealed
<4972>
with that holy <40> Spirit <4151> of
promise <1860>,
14 Which <3739> is the earnest <728> of
our
inheritance
<2817> until <1519> the redemption <
629> of the
purchased
<4047> possession <4047>, unto the praise
<1868> of his
glory <1391>.
15. Wherefore <5124> I also <2504>, after
I heard
<191> of
your <5209> faith <4102> in the Lord <
2962> Jesus
<2424>,
and love <26> unto all <3956> the saints
<40>,
16 Cease <3973> not to give thanks <2168>
for you,
making
<4160> mention <3417> of you in my prayers
<4335>;
17 That the God <2316> of our Lord <2962>
Jesus
<2424>
Christ <5547>, the Father <3962> of glory
<1391>, may
give
<1325> unto you the spirit <4151> of wisdom
<4678> and
revelation <602> in the knowledge <1922> of
him:
18 The eyes <3788> of your <5216>
understanding
<1271>
being enlightened <5461>; that ye may know <
1492> what
<5101> is the hope <1680> of his calling
<2821>, and
what
<5101> the riches <4149> of the glory <
1391> of his
inheritance <2817> in the saints <40>,
19 And what <5101> [is] the exceeding <
5235>
greatness
<3174> of his power <1411> to us-ward <
2248> who <3588>
believe <4100>, according <2596> to the
working <1753>
of
his mighty <2479> power <2904>,
20 Which <3739> he wrought <1754> in
Christ <5547>,
when
he raised <1453> him from the dead <3498>,
and set
<2523>
[him] at <1722> his own <848> right <
1188> hand in the
heavenly <2032> [places],
21 Far <5231> above <5231> all <
3956> principality
<746>,
and power <1849>, and might <1411>, and
dominion
<2963>, and
every <3956> name <3686> that is named <
3687>, not only
<3440> in this <3588> world <165>,
but also <2532> in
that
which is to come <3195>:
22 And hath put <5293> all <3956>
[things] under
<5259>
his feet <4228>, and gave <1325> him [to
be] the head
<2776>
over <5228> all <3956> [things] to the
church <1577>,
23 Which <3748> is his body <4983>, the
fulness
<4138> of
him that filleth <4137> all <3956> in all
<3956>.
