IzvarasyEcchayA yIzukhrISTasya prEritaH paula iphiSanagarasthAn pavitrAn khrISTayIzau vizvAsinO lOkAn prati patraM likhati|
2 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms.
asmAkaM prabhO ryIzOH khrISTasya tAta IzvarO dhanyO bhavatu; yataH sa khrISTEnAsmabhyaM sarvvam AdhyAtmikaM svargIyavaraM dattavAn|
4 For He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world to be holy and blameless in His presence. In love
vayaM yat tasya samakSaM prEmnA pavitrA niSkalagkAzca bhavAmastadarthaM sa jagataH sRSTE pUrvvaM tEnAsmAn abhirOcitavAn, nijAbhilaSitAnurOdhAcca
5 He predestined us for adoption as His sons through Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of His will,
yIzunA khrISTEna svasya nimittaM putratvapadE'smAn svakIyAnugrahasya mahattvasya prazaMsArthaM pUrvvaM niyuktavAn|
6 to the praise of His glorious grace, which He has freely given us in the Beloved One.
tasmAd anugrahAt sa yEna priyatamEna putrENAsmAn anugRhItavAn,
7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace
vayaM tasya zONitEna muktim arthataH pApakSamAM labdhavantaH|
8 that He lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding.
tasya ya IdRzO'nugrahanidhistasmAt sO'smabhyaM sarvvavidhaM jnjAnaM buddhinjca bAhulyarUpENa vitaritavAn|
9 And He has made known to us the mystery of His will according to His good pleasure, which He purposed in Christ
svargapRthivyO ryadyad vidyatE tatsarvvaM sa khrISTE saMgrahISyatIti hitaiSiNA
10 as a plan for the fullness of time, to bring all things in heaven and on earth together in Christ.
tEna kRtO yO manOrathaH sampUrNatAM gatavatsu samayESu sAdhayitavyastamadhi sa svakIyAbhilASasya nigUPhaM bhAvam asmAn jnjApitavAn|
11 In Him we were also chosen as God’s own, having been predestined according to the plan of Him who works out everything by the counsel of His will,
pUrvvaM khrISTE vizvAsinO yE vayam asmattO yat tasya mahimnaH prazaMsA jAyatE,
12 in order that we, who were the first to hope in Christ, would be for the praise of His glory.
tadarthaM yaH svakIyEcchAyAH mantraNAtaH sarvvANi sAdhayati tasya manOrathAd vayaM khrISTEna pUrvvaM nirUpitAH santO'dhikAriNO jAtAH|
13 And in Him, having heard and believed the word of truth—the gospel of your salvation—you were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,
yUyamapi satyaM vAkyam arthatO yuSmatparitrANasya susaMvAdaM nizamya tasminnEva khrISTE vizvasitavantaH pratijnjAtEna pavitrENAtmanA mudrayEvAgkitAzca|
14 who is the pledge of our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession, to the praise of His glory.

15 For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints,
prabhau yIzau yuSmAkaM vizvAsaH sarvvESu pavitralOkESu prEma cAsta iti vArttAM zrutvAhamapi
16 I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers,
yuSmAnadhi nirantaram IzvaraM dhanyaM vadan prArthanAsamayE ca yuSmAn smaran varamimaM yAcAmi|
17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in your knowledge of Him.

18 I ask that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you may know the hope of His calling, the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints,

19 and the surpassing greatness of His power to us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of His mighty strength,
tadIyamahAparAkramasya mahatvaM kIdRg anupamaM tat sarvvaM yuSmAn jnjApayatu|
20 which He exerted in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly realms,
yataH sa yasyAH zaktEH prabalatAM khrISTE prakAzayan mRtagaNamadhyAt tam utthApitavAn,
21 far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. (aiōn )

22 And God put everything under His feet and made Him head over everything for the church,
sarvvANi tasya caraNayOradhO nihitavAn yA samitistasya zarIraM sarvvatra sarvvESAM pUrayituH pUrakanjca bhavati taM tasyA mUrddhAnaM kRtvA
23 which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.
