EPH-11  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-12  Grace be to you and peace from God our Father and from

the Lord Jesus Christ .


EPH-13  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-14  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-15  Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by

Jesus Christ to himself according to the good pleasure of his

will .


EPH-16  To the praise of the glory of his grace wherein he hath

made us accepted in the beloved .


EPH-17  In whom we have redemption through his blood the

forgiveness of sins according to the riches of his grace .


EPH-18  Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and

prudence .


EPH-19  Having made known unto us the mystery of his will

according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself

.


EPH-110  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-111  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-112  That we should be to the praise of his glory who first

trusted in Christ .


EPH-113  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-114  Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the

redemption of the purchased possession unto the praise of his

glory .


EPH-115  Wherefore I also after I heard of your faith in the

Lord Jesus and love unto all the saints .


EPH-116  Cease not to give thanks for you making mention of you

in my prayers .


EPH-117  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-118  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-119  And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-

ward who believe according to the working of his mighty power .


EPH-120  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-121  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-122  And hath put all things under his feet and gave him to

be the head over all things to the church .


EPH-123  Which is his body the fulness of him that filleth all

in all .


* EPH-21  And you hath he quickened who were dead in trespasses

and sins .


EPH-22  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-23  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-24  But God who is rich in mercy for his great love

wherewith he loved us .


EPH-25  Even when we were dead in sins hath quickened us

together with Christ by grace ye are saved .


EPH-26  And hath raised us up together and made us sit together

in heavenly places in Christ Jesus .


EPH-27  That in the ages to come he might show the exceeding

riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ

Jesus .


EPH-28  For by grace are ye saved through faith and that not of

yourselves it is the gift of God .


EPH-29  Not of works lest any man should boast .


EPH-210  For we are his workmanship created in Christ Jesus unto

good works which God hath before ordained that we should walk in

them .


EPH-211  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-212  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-213  But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off

are made nigh by the blood of Christ .


EPH-214  For he is our peace who hath made both one and hath

broken down the middle wall of partition between us .


EPH-215  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-216  And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body

by the cross having slain the enmity thereby .


EPH-217  And came and preached peace to you which were afar off

and to them that were nigh .


EPH-218  For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto

the Father .


EPH-219  Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners

but fellowcitizens with the saints and of the household of God .


EPH-220  And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and

prophets Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone .


EPH-221  In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth

unto an holy temple in the Lord .


EPH-222  In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation

of God through the Spirit .


* EPH-31  For this cause I Paul the prisoner of Jesus Christ for

you Gentiles .


EPH-32  If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God

which is given me to you-ward .


EPH-33  How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery

as I wrote afore in few words .


EPH-34  Whereby when ye read ye may understand my knowledge in

the mystery of Christ .


EPH-35  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-36  That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs and of the same

body and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel .


EPH-37  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-38  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-39  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-310  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-311  According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in

Christ Jesus our Lord .


EPH-312  In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by

the faith of him .


EPH-313  Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations

for you which is your glory .


EPH-314  For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our

Lord Jesus Christ .


EPH-315  Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named .


EPH-316  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-317  That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith that ye

being rooted and grounded in love .


EPH-318  May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the

breadth and length and depth and height .


EPH-319  And to know the love of Christ which passeth knowledge

that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God .


EPH-320  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-321  Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus

throughout all ages world without end Amen .


* EPH-41  I therefore the prisoner of the Lord beseech you that

ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called .


EPH-42  With all lowliness and meekness with longsuffering

forbearing one another in love .


EPH-43  Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond

of peace .


EPH-44  There is one body and one Spirit even as ye are called

in one hope of your calling .


EPH-45  One Lord one faith one baptism .


EPH-46  One God and Father of all who is above all and through

all and in you all .


EPH-47  But unto every one of us is given grace according to the

measure of the gift of Christ .


EPH-48  Wherefore he saith When he ascended up on high he led

captivity captive and gave gifts unto men .


EPH-49  Now that he ascended what is it but that he also

descended first into the lower parts of the earth .


EPH-410  He that descended is the same also that ascended up far

above all heavens that he might fill all things .


EPH-411  And he gave some apostles and some prophets and some

evangelists and some pastors and teachers .


EPH-412  For the perfecting of the saints for the work of the

ministry for the edifying of the body of Christ .


EPH-413  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-414  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-415  But speaking the truth in love may grow up into him in

all things which is the head even Christ .


EPH-416  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-417  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-418  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-419  Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto

lasciviousness to work all uncleanness with greediness .


EPH-420  But ye have not so learned Christ .


EPH-421  If so be that ye have heard him and have been taught by

him as the truth is in Jesus .


EPH-422  That ye put off concerning the former conversation the

old man which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts .


EPH-423  And be renewed in the spirit of your mind .


EPH-424  And that ye put on the new man which after God is

created in righteousness and true holiness .


EPH-425  Wherefore putting away lying speak every man truth with

his neighbour for we are members one of another .


EPH-426  Be ye angry and sin not let not the sun go down upon

your wrath .


EPH-427  Neither give place to the devil .


EPH-428  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-429  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-430  And grieve not the holy Spirit of God whereby ye are

sealed unto the day of redemption .


EPH-431  Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamour and

evil speaking be put away from you with all malice .


EPH-432  And be ye kind one to another tenderhearted forgiving

one another even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you .


* EPH-51  Be ye therefore followers of God as dear children .


EPH-52  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-53  But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness let

it not be once named among you as becometh saints .


EPH-54  Neither filthiness nor foolish talking nor jesting which

are not convenient but rather giving of thanks .


EPH-55  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-56  Let no man deceive you with vain words for because of

these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of

disobedience .


EPH-57  Be not ye therefore partakers with them .


EPH-58  For ye were sometimes darkness but now are ye light in

the Lord walk as children of light .


EPH-59  For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and

righteousness and truth .


EPH-510  Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord .


EPH-511  And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of

darkness but rather reprove them .


EPH-512  For it is a shame even to speak of those things which

are done of them in secret .


EPH-513  But all things that are reproved are made manifest by

the light for whatsoever doth make manifest is light .


EPH-514  Wherefore he saith Awake thou that sleepest and arise

from the dead and Christ shall give thee light .


EPH-515  See then that ye walk circumspectly not as fools but as

wise .


EPH-516  Redeeming the time because the days are evil .


EPH-517  Wherefore be ye not unwise but understanding what the

will of the Lord is .


EPH-518  And be not drunk with wine wherein is excess but be

filled with the Spirit .


EPH-519  Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and

spiritual songs singing and making melody in your heart to the

Lord .


EPH-520  Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the

Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ .


EPH-521  Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God

.


EPH-522  Wives submit yourselves unto your own husbands as unto

the Lord .


EPH-523  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-524  Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ so let

the wives be to their own husbands in every thing .


EPH-525  Husbands love your wives even as Christ also loved the

church and gave himself for it .


EPH-526  That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing

of water by the word .


EPH-527  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-528  So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies He

that loveth his wife loveth himself .


EPH-529  For no man ever yet hated his own flesh but nourisheth

and cherisheth it even as the Lord the church .


EPH-530  For we are members of his body of his flesh and of his

bones .


EPH-531  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-532  This is a great mystery but I speak concerning Christ

and the church .


EPH-533  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-61  Children obey your parents in the Lord for this is

right .


EPH-62  Honour thy father and mother which is the first

commandment with promise .


EPH-63  That it may be well with thee and thou mayest live long

on the earth .


EPH-64  And ye fathers provoke not your children to wrath but

bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord .


EPH-65  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-66  Not with eyeservice as menpleasers but as the servants

of Christ doing the will of God from the heart .


EPH-67  With good will doing service as to the Lord and not to

men .


EPH-68  Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth the

same shall he receive of the Lord whether he be bond or free .


EPH-69  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-610  Finally my brethren be strong in the Lord and in the

power of his might .


EPH-611  Put on the whole armour of God that ye may be able to

stand against the wiles of the devil .


EPH-612  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-613  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-614  Stand therefore having your loins girt about with truth

and having on the breastplate of righteousness .


EPH-615  And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel

of peace .


EPH-616  Above all taking the shield of faith wherewith ye shall

be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked .


EPH-617  And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the

Spirit which is the word of God .


EPH-618  Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the

Spirit and watching thereunto with all perseverance and

supplication for all saints .


EPH-619  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-620  For which I am an ambassador in bonds that therein I

may speak boldly as I ought to speak .


EPH-621  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-622  Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose that ye

might know our affairs and that he might comfort your hearts .


EPH-623  Peace be to the brethren and love with faith from God

the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ .


EPH-624  Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ

in sincerity Amen .
