EPH-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:

EPH-1:2  Grace [be] to you, and peace, from God our Father, and

[from] the Lord

Jesus Christ.

EPH-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:

EPH-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:

EPH-1:5  Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children

by Jesus Christ

to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,

EPH-1:6  To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he

hath made us

accepted in the beloved.

EPH-1:7  In whom we have redemption through his blood, the

forgiveness of sins,

according to the riches of his grace;

EPH-1:8  Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and

prudence;

EPH-1:9  Having made known unto us the mystery of his will,

according to his

good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:

EPH-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:

EPH-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:

EPH-1:12  That we should be to the praise of his glory, who

first trusted in

Christ.

EPH-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,

EPH-1:14  Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the

redemption of the

purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.

EPH-1:15  Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the

Lord Jesus, and

love unto 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 the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of

him:

EPH-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,

EPH-1:19  And what [is] the exceeding greatness of his power to

us-ward who

believe, according to the working of his mighty power,

EPH-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],

EPH-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:

EPH-1:22  And hath put all [things] under his feet, and gave him

[to be] the

head over all [things] to the church,

EPH-1:23  Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all

in all.
