 1:1  Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to
the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ
Jesus:
 1:2  Grace [be] to you, and peace, from God our Father, and
[from] the Lord Jesus Christ.
 1:3  Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly
[places] in Christ:
 1:4  According as he hath chosen us in him before the
foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without
blame before him in love:
 1:5  Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by
Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his
will,
 1:6  To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath
made us accepted in the beloved.
 1:7  In whom we have redemption through his blood, the
forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
 1:8  Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and
prudence;
 1:9  Having made known unto us the mystery of his will,
according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in
himself:
 1:10  That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he
might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which
are in heaven, and which are on earth; [even] in him:
 1:11  In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being
predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all
things after the counsel of his own will:
 1:12  That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first
trusted in Christ.
 1:13  In whom ye also [trusted], after that ye heard the word
of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that
ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
 1:14  Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the
redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his
glory.
 1:15  Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the
Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints,
 1:16  Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you
in my prayers;
 1:17  That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of
glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in
the knowledge of him:
 1:18  The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that
ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the
riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
 1:19  And what [is] the exceeding greatness of his power to
us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty
power,
 1:20  Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the
dead, and set [him] at his own right hand in the heavenly
[places],
 1:21  Far above all principality, and power, and might, and
dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world,
but also in that which is to come:
 1:22  And hath put all [things] under his feet, and gave him
[to be] the head over all [things] to the church,
 1:23  Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all
in all.
