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.

EPH-2:1  And you [hath he quickened],

who were dead in trespasses and sins:

EPH-2:2  Wherein in time past ye walked

according to the course of this world,

according to the prince of the power of

the air, the spirit that now worketh in

the children of disobedience:

EPH-2:3  Among whom also we all had our

conversation in times past in the lusts

of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of

the flesh and of the mind; and were by

nature the children of wrath, even as

others.

EPH-2:4  But God, who is rich in mercy,

for his great love wherewith he loved

us,

EPH-2:5  Even when we were dead in sins,

hath quickened us together with Christ,

(by grace ye are saved;)

EPH-2:6  And hath raised [us] up

together, and made [us] sit together in

heavenly [places] in Christ Jesus:

EPH-2:7  That in the ages to come he

might show the exceeding riches of his

grace in [his] kindness toward us

through Christ Jesus.

EPH-2:8  For by grace are ye saved

through faith; and that not of

yourselves: [it is] the gift of God:

EPH-2:9  Not of works, lest any man

should boast.

EPH-2:10  For we are his workmanship,

created in Christ Jesus unto good works,

which God hath before ordained that we

should walk in them.

EPH-2:11  Wherefore remember, that ye

[being] in time past Gentiles in the

flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by

that which is called the Circumcision in

the flesh made by hands;

EPH-2:12  That at that time ye were

without Christ, being aliens from the

commonwealth of Israel, and strangers

from the covenants of promise, having no

hope, and without God in the world:

EPH-2:13  But now in Christ Jesus ye who

sometimes were far off are made nigh by

the blood of Christ.

EPH-2:14  For he is our peace, who hath

made both one, and hath broken down the

middle wall of partition [between us];

EPH-2:15  Having abolished in his flesh

the enmity, [even] the law of

commandments [contained] in ordinances;

for to make in himself of twain one new

man, [so] making peace;

EPH-2:16  And that he might reconcile

both unto God in one body by the cross,

having slain the enmity thereby:

EPH-2:17  And came and preached peace to

you which were afar off, and to them

that were nigh.

EPH-2:18  For through him we both have

access by one Spirit unto the Father.

EPH-2:19  Now therefore ye are no more

strangers and foreigners, but

fellowcitizens with the saints, and of

the household of God;

EPH-2:20  And are built upon the

foundation of the apostles and prophets,

Jesus Christ himself being the chief

corner [stone];

EPH-2:21  In whom all the building fitly

framed together groweth unto an holy

temple in the Lord:

EPH-2:22  In whom ye also are builded

together for an habitation of God

through the Spirit.

EPH-3:1  For this cause I Paul, the

prisoner of Jesus Christ for you

Gentiles,

EPH-3:2  If ye have heard of the

dispensation of the grace of God which

is given me to you-ward:

EPH-3:3  How that by revelation he made

known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote

afore in few words,

EPH-3:4  Whereby, when ye read, ye may

understand my knowledge in the mystery

of Christ)

EPH-3:5  Which in other ages was not

made known unto the sons of men, as it

is now revealed unto his holy apostles

and prophets by the Spirit;

EPH-3:6  That the Gentiles should be

fellowheirs, and of the same body, and

partakers of his promise in Christ by

the gospel:

EPH-3:7  Whereof I was made a minister,

according to the gift of the grace of

God given unto me by the effectual

working of his power.

EPH-3:8  Unto me, who am less than the

least of all saints, is this grace

given, that I should preach among the

Gentiles the unsearchable riches of

Christ;

EPH-3:9  And to make all [men] see what

[is] the fellowship of the mystery,

which from the beginning of the world

hath been hid in God, who created all

things by Jesus Christ:

EPH-3:10  To the intent that now unto

the principalities and powers in

heavenly [places] might be known by the

church the manifold wisdom of God,

EPH-3:11  According to the eternal

purpose which he purposed in Christ

Jesus our Lord:

EPH-3:12  In whom we have boldness and

access with confidence by the faith of

him.

EPH-3:13  Wherefore I desire that ye

faint not at my tribulations for you,

which is your glory.

EPH-3:14  For this cause I bow my knees

unto the Father of our Lord Jesus

Christ,

EPH-3:15  Of whom the whole family in

heaven and earth is named,

EPH-3:16  That he would grant you,

according to the riches of his glory, to

be strengthened with might by his Spirit

in the inner man;

EPH-3:17  That Christ may dwell in your

hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted

and grounded in love,

EPH-3:18  May be able to comprehend with

all saints what [is] the breadth, and

length, and depth, and height;

EPH-3:19  And to know the love of

Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye

might be filled with all the fulness of

God.

EPH-3:20  Now unto him that is able to

do exceeding abundantly above all that

we ask or think, according to the power

that worketh in us,

EPH-3:21  Unto him [be] glory in the

church by Christ Jesus throughout all

ages, world without end. Amen.

EPH-4:1  I therefore, the prisoner of

the Lord, beseech you that ye walk

worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are

called,

EPH-4:2  With all lowliness and

meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing

one another in love;

EPH-4:3  Endeavouring to keep the unity

of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

EPH-4:4  [There is] one body, and one

Spirit, even as ye are called in one

hope of your calling;

EPH-4:5  One Lord, one faith, one

baptism,

EPH-4:6  One God and Father of all, who

[is] above all, and through all, and in

you all.

EPH-4:7  But unto every one of us is

given grace according to the measure of

the gift of Christ.

EPH-4:8  Wherefore he saith, When he

ascended up on high, he led captivity

captive, and gave gifts unto men.

EPH-4:9  (Now that he ascended, what is

it but that he also descended first into

the lower parts of the earth?

EPH-4:10  He that descended is the same

also that ascended up far above all

heavens, that he might fill all things.)

EPH-4:11  And he gave some, apostles;

and some, prophets; and some,

evangelists; and some, pastors and

teachers;

EPH-4:12  For the perfecting of the

saints, for the work of the ministry,

for the edifying of the body of Christ:

EPH-4:13  Till we all come in the unity

of the faith, and of the knowledge of

the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto

the measure of the stature of the

fulness of Christ:

EPH-4:14  That we [henceforth] be no

more children, tossed to and fro, and

carried about with every wind of

doctrine, by the sleight of men, [and]

cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in

wait to deceive;

EPH-4:15  But speaking the truth in

love, may grow up into him in all

things, which is the head, [even]

Christ:

EPH-4:16  From whom the whole body fitly

joined together and compacted by that

which every joint supplieth, according

to the effectual working in the measure

of every part, maketh increase of the

body unto the edifying of itself in

love.

EPH-4:17  This I say therefore, and

testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth

walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the

vanity of their mind,

EPH-4:18  Having the understanding

darkened, being alienated from the life

of God through the ignorance that is in

them, because of the blindness of their

heart:

EPH-4:19  Who being past feeling have

given themselves over unto

lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness

with greediness.

EPH-4:20  But ye have not so learned

Christ;

EPH-4:21  If so be that ye have heard

him, and have been taught by him, as the

truth is in Jesus:

EPH-4:22  That ye put off concerning the

former conversation the old man, which

is corrupt according to the deceitful

lusts;

EPH-4:23  And be renewed in the spirit

of your mind;

EPH-4:24  And that ye put on the new

man, which after God is created in

righteousness and true holiness.

EPH-4:25  Wherefore putting away lying,

speak every man truth with his

neighbour: for we are members one of

another.

EPH-4:26  Be ye angry, and sin not: let

not the sun go down upon your wrath:

EPH-4:27  Neither give place to the

devil.

EPH-4:28  Let him that stole steal no

more: but rather let him labour, working

with [his] hands the thing which is

good, that he may have to give to him

that needeth.

EPH-4:29  Let no corrupt communication

proceed out of your mouth, but that

which is good to the use of edifying,

that it may minister grace unto the

hearers.

EPH-4:30  And grieve not the holy Spirit

of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the

day of redemption.

EPH-4:31  Let all bitterness, and wrath,

and anger, and clamour, and evil

speaking, be put away from you, with all

malice:

EPH-4:32  And be ye kind one to another,

tenderhearted, forgiving one another,

even as God for Christ's sake hath

forgiven you.

EPH-5:1  Be ye therefore followers of

God, as dear children;

EPH-5:2  And walk in love, as Christ

also hath loved us, and hath given

himself for us an offering and a

sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling

savour.

EPH-5:3  But fornication, and all

uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not

be once named among you, as becometh

saints;

EPH-5:4  Neither filthiness, nor foolish

talking, nor jesting, which are not

convenient: but rather giving of thanks.

EPH-5:5  For this ye know, that no

whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor

covetous man, who is an idolater, hath

any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ

and of God.

EPH-5:6  Let no man deceive you with

vain words: for because of these things

cometh the wrath of God upon the

children of disobedience.

EPH-5:7  Be not ye therefore partakers

with them.

EPH-5:8  For ye were sometimes darkness,

but now [are ye] light in the Lord: walk

as children of light:

EPH-5:9  (For the fruit of the Spirit

[is] in all goodness and righteousness

and truth;)

EPH-5:10  Proving what is acceptable

unto the Lord.

EPH-5:11  And have no fellowship with

the unfruitful works of darkness, but

rather reprove [them].

EPH-5:12  For it is a shame even to

speak of those things which are done of

them in secret.

EPH-5:13  But all things that are

reproved are made manifest by the light:

for whatsoever doth make manifest is

light.

EPH-5:14  Wherefore he saith, Awake thou

that sleepest, and arise from the dead,

and Christ shall give thee light.

EPH-5:15  See then that ye walk

circumspectly, not as fools, but as

wise,

EPH-5:16  Redeeming the time, because

the days are evil.

EPH-5:17  Wherefore be ye not unwise,

but understanding what the will of the

Lord [is].

EPH-5:18  And be not drunk with wine,

wherein is excess; but be filled with

the Spirit;

EPH-5:19  Speaking to yourselves in

psalms and hymns and spiritual songs,

singing and making melody in your heart

to the Lord;

EPH-5:20  Giving thanks always for all

things unto God and the Father in the

name of our Lord Jesus Christ;

EPH-5:21  Submitting yourselves one to

another in the fear of God.

EPH-5:22  Wives, submit yourselves unto

your own husbands, as unto the Lord.

EPH-5:23  For the husband is the head of

the wife, even as Christ is the head of

the church: and he is the saviour of the

body.

EPH-5:24  Therefore as the church is

subject unto Christ, so [let] the wives

[be] to their own husbands in every

thing.

EPH-5:25  Husbands, love your wives,

even as Christ also loved the church,

and gave himself for it;

EPH-5:26  That he might sanctify and

cleanse it with the washing of water by

the word,

EPH-5:27  That he might present it to

himself a glorious church, not having

spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but

that it should be holy and without

blemish.

EPH-5:28  So ought men to love their

wives as their own bodies. He that

loveth his wife loveth himself.

EPH-5:29  For no man ever yet hated his

own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth

it, even as the Lord the church:

EPH-5:30  For we are members of his

body, of his flesh, and of his bones.

EPH-5:31  For this cause shall a man

leave his father and mother, and shall

be joined unto his wife, and they two

shall be one flesh.

EPH-5:32  This is a great mystery: but I

speak concerning Christ and the church.

EPH-5:33  Nevertheless let every one of

you in particular so love his wife even

as himself; and the wife [see] that she

reverence [her] husband.

EPH-6:1  Children, obey your parents in

the Lord: for this is right.

EPH-6:2  Honour thy father and mother;

which is the first commandment with

promise;

EPH-6:3  That it may be well with thee,

and thou mayest live long on the earth.

EPH-6:4  And, ye fathers, provoke not

your children to wrath: but bring them

up in the nurture and admonition of the

Lord.

EPH-6:5  Servants, be obedient to them

that are [your] masters according to the

flesh, with fear and trembling, in

singleness of your heart, as unto

Christ;

EPH-6:6  Not with eyeservice, as

menpleasers; but as the servants of

Christ, doing the will of God from the

heart;

EPH-6:7  With good will doing service,

as to the Lord, and not to men:

EPH-6:8  Knowing that whatsoever good

thing any man doeth, the same shall he

receive of the Lord, whether [he be]

bond or free.

EPH-6:9  And, ye masters, do the same

things unto them, forbearing

threatening: knowing that your Master

also is in heaven; neither is there

respect of persons with him.

EPH-6:10  Finally, my brethren, be

strong in the Lord, and in the power of

his might.

EPH-6:11  Put on the whole armour of

God, that ye may be able to stand

against the wiles of the devil.

EPH-6:12  For we wrestle not against

flesh and blood, but against

principalities, against powers, against

the rulers of the darkness of this

world, against spiritual wickedness in

high [places].

EPH-6:13  Wherefore take unto you the

whole armour of God, that ye may be able

to withstand in the evil day, and having

done all, to stand.

EPH-6:14  Stand therefore, having your

loins girt about with truth, and having

on the breastplate of righteousness;

EPH-6:15  And your feet shod with the

preparation of the gospel of peace;

EPH-6:16  Above all, taking the shield

of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to

quench all the fiery darts of the

wicked.

EPH-6:17  And take the helmet of

salvation, and the sword of the Spirit,

which is the word of God:

EPH-6:18  Praying always with all prayer

and supplication in the Spirit, and

watching thereunto with all perseverance

and supplication for all saints;

EPH-6:19  And for me, that utterance may

be given unto me, that I may open my

mouth boldly, to make known the mystery

of the gospel,

EPH-6:20  For which I am an ambassador

in bonds: that therein I may speak

boldly, as I ought to speak.

EPH-6:21  But that ye also may know my

affairs, [and] how I do, Tychicus, a

beloved brother and faithful minister in

the Lord, shall make known to you all

things:

EPH-6:22  Whom I have sent unto you for

the same purpose, that ye might know our

affairs, and [that] he might comfort

your hearts.

EPH-6:23  Peace [be] to the brethren,

and love with faith, from God the Father

and the Lord Jesus Christ.

EPH-6:24  Grace [be] with all them that

love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity.

Amen.
