Ephesians 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:
[2]Grace be to you, and peace,
from God our Father,
and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
[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:
[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:
[5]Having predestinated us
unto the adoption of children
by Jesus Christ to himself,
according to
the good pleasure of his will,
[6]To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us
accepted in the beloved.
[7]In whom we have redemption
through his blood,
the forgiveness of sins,
according to the riches of his grace;
[8]Wherein he hath abounded toward us
in all wisdom and prudence;
[9]Having made known unto us
the mystery of his will,
according to his good pleasure
which he hath purposed in himself:
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:
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:
That we should be
to the praise of his glory,
who first trusted in Christ.
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,
Which is the earnest
of our inheritance
until the redemption
of the purchased possession,
unto the praise of his glory.
Wherefore I also,
after I heard of your faith
in the Lord Jesus,
and love unto all the saints,
Cease not to give thanks for you,
making mention of you
in my prayers;
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:
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,
And what is the exceeding
greatness of his power
to us-ward who believe,
according to the working of
his mighty power,
Which he wrought in Christ,
when he raised him from the dead,
and set him at his own right hand
in the heavenly places,
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:
And hath put all things
under his feet,
and gave him to be the head over
all things to the church,
Which is his body,
the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
