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.
