Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, to the saints who are [[in Ephesus]], and believers in Christ Jesus:
2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and Sovereign Jesus Christ.
Grace be to you, and peace, 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 with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms in Christ;
Blessed be God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly regions in Christ;
4 just as He[F] chose us in Him[S] before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before Him[F], in love,
according as he chose us in him, before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him;
5 having predestined us into an adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, into Him[S], according to the good pleasure of His[F] will,
having in love predestinated us for himself to be adopted as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of his will,
6 to the praise of the glory of His grace, with which He graced us in the Beloved;
to the praise of the glory of his grace, which he freely bestowed on us in the Beloved;
7 in whom we have the redemption through His[S] blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His[F] grace,
in whom we have the redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,
8 that He made to abound toward us in all wisdom and intelligent design,
which he made to abound toward us, in all wisdom and understanding;
9 having made known to us the ‘secret’ of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Him[S],
having made known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in himself
10 with a view to administering the fullness of the times, so as to bring all things together under one head in Christ—those on the heavens and those on the earth—in Him[S],
in reference to the dispensation of the fullness of the times, to gather for himself into one all things in Christ, the things which are in the heavens, and the things on the earth; even in him,
11 in whom we were also assigned an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of Him[F] who works all things according to the decision of His will,
in whom we also obtained the inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will,
12 so that we should be to the praise of His glory, we who first trusted in the Christ;
that we should be to the praise of his glory, we who have before placed our hope in the Messiah;
13 about whom, to be sure, we had heard the true Word—the Gospel of your salvation; by whom, since you also believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,
in whom ye also, after having heard the word of truth, the glad tidings of your salvation, in whom, I say, having also believed, ye were sealed with the Holy Spirit that was promised,
14 who is the down payment on our inheritance until the release of the possession, to the praise of His glory.
which is a pledge of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of his glory.
15 Because of this, having heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints,
For this cause I also, having heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and of your love to all the saints,
16 I really do not stop giving thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers:
do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;
17 that the God of our Lord, Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the real knowledge of Himself,
that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, would give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the full knowledge of him;
18 the eyes of your heart having been enlightened, that you may know 1) what is the hope of His[F] calling, and 2) what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,
the eyes of your mind being enlightened, that ye may know what is the hope belonging to his call of you, and what the riches of the glory of the inheritance which he hath given among the saints,
19 and 3) what the exceeding greatness of His power into us who are believing, according to the demonstration of the extent of His might
and what the exceeding greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,
20 which He exercised in the Christ when He raised Him[S] from among the dead and seated Him at His[F] right, in the heavenly realms,
which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead; and seated him at his own right hand in the heavenly regions,
21 far above every ruler and authority and power and dominion—even every name that can be named, not only in this age but also in the next. (aiōn g165)
far above all rule, and authority, and power, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come; (aiōn g165)
22 In short, He[F] placed everything under His[S] feet, and appointed Him to be Head over everything in the Church,
and put all things in subjection under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things to the church,
23 which is His body, the complement of Him who fills everything in every way.
which is his body, the fullness of him who filleth all with all;
