Ephesians 1
1 Pavl an Apostle of Jesvs Christ by the will of God, to the Saints, which are at Ephesus, and to ye faithfull in Christ Iesus:
Paulus, Kristi Jesu Apostel ved Guds Villie, til de hellige, som ere i Efesus og ere troende i Kristus Jesus:
2 Grace be with you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ.
Naade være med eder og Fred fra Gud vor Fader og den Herre Jesus Kristus!
3 Blessed be God, and the Father of our Lord Iesus Christ, which hath blessed vs with all spirituall blessing in heauenly thinges in Christ,
Lovet være Gud og vor Herres Jesu Kristi Fader, som har velsignet os med al aandelig Velsignelse i det himmelske i Kristus,
4 As hee hath chosen vs in him, before the foundation of the worlde, that we should be holy, and without blame before him in loue:
ligesom han har udvalgt os i ham før Verdens Grundlæggelse til at være hellige og ulastelige for hans Aasyn,
5 Who hath predestinate vs, to be adopted through Iesus Christ in him selfe, according to the good pleasure of his will,
idet han i Kærlighed forudbestemte os til Sønneudkaarelse hos sig ved Jesus Kristus, efter sin Villies Velbehag,
6 To the prayse of the glory of his grace, wherewith he hath made vs freely accepted in his beloued,
til Pris for sin Naades Herlighed, som han benaadede os med i den elskede,
7 By whom we haue redemption through his blood, euen the forgiuenes of sinnes, according to his rich grace:
i hvem vi have Forløsningen ved hans Blod, Syndernes Forladelse, efter hans Naades Rigdom,
8 Whereby he hath bene aboundant toward vs in all wisedome and vnderstanding,
som han rigelig tildelte os i al Visdom og Forstand,
9 And hath opened vnto vs the mysterie of his will according to his good pleasure, which he had purposed in him,
idet han kundgjorde os sin Villies Hemmelighed, efter sin velbehagelige Beslutning, som han havde fattet hos sig selv,
10 That in the dispensation of the fulnesse of the times, he might gather together in one all things, both which are in heauen, and which are in earth, euen in Christ:
for at oprette en Husholdning i Tidernes Fylde, nemlig at sammenfatte sig alt i Kristus, det, som er i Himlene, og det, som er paa Jorden, i ham,
11 In whom also we are chosen when we were predestinate according to ye purpose of him, which worketh all things after the counsell of his owne will,
i hvem vi ogsaa have faaet Arvelodden, forud bestemte efter hans Forsæt, der virker alt efter sin Villies Raad,
12 That we, which first trusted in Christ, should be vnto the praise of his glorie:
for at vi skulde være til Pris for hans Herlighed, vi, som forud havde haabet paa Kristus,
13 In whom also ye haue trusted, after that ye heard the worde of trueth, euen the Gospel of your saluation, wherein also after that ye beleeued, ye were sealed with the holy Spirite of promise,
i hvem ogsaa I, da I hørte Sandhedens Ord, Evangeliet om eders Frelse, i hvem I ogsaa, da I bleve troende, bleve beseglede med Forjættelsens hellige Aand,
14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance, for the redemption of that libertie purchased vnto the prayse of his glory.
som er Pant paa vor Arv, til Ejendommens Forløsning, til Pris for hans Herlighed.
15 Therefore also after that I heard of the faith, which ye haue in the Lord Iesus, and loue toward all the Saints,
Derfor har ogsaa jeg, efter at have hørt om eders Tro paa den Herre Jesus og om eders Kærlighed til alle de hellige,
16 I cease not to giue thankes for you, making mention of you in my prayers,
ikke ophørt at takke for eder, idet jeg ihukommer eder i mine Bønner om,
17 That the God of our Lord Iesus Christ, that Father of glory, might giue vnto you the Spirit of wisedome, and reuelation through the acknowledging of him,
at vor Herres Jesu Kristi Gud, Herlighedens Fader, maa give eder Visdoms og Aabenbarelses Aand i Erkendelse af ham,
18 That the eyes of your vnderstanding may be lightened, that ye may knowe what the hope is of his calling, and what the riches of his glorious inheritance is in the Saints,
gøre eders Hjertes Øjne oplyste til at kende, hvilket det Haab er, som han kaldte eder til, hvilken hans Arvs Herligheds Rigdom er iblandt de hellige,
19 And what is the exceeding greatnesse of his power toward vs, which beleeue, according to the working of his mightie power,
og hvilken hans Krafts overvættes Storhed er over for os, som tro, alt efter hans Styrkes vældige Virkekraft,
20 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his right hand in the heauenly places,
som han udviste paa Kristus, da han oprejste ham fra de døde og satte ham ved sin højre Haand i det himmelske,
21 Farre aboue al principalitie, and power, and might, and domination, and euery Name, that is named, not in this world only, but also in that that is to come, (aiōn g165)
langt over al Magt og Myndighed og Kraft og Herredom og hvert Navn, som nævnes, ikke alene i denne Verden, men ogsaa i den kommende, (aiōn g165)
22 And hath made all things subiect vnder his feete, and hath giuen him ouer all things to be the head to the Church,
og lagde alt under hans Fødder, og ham gav han som Hoved over alting til Menigheden,
23 Which is his body, euen the fulnesse of him that filleth all in all things.
der er hans Legeme, fyldt af ham, som fylder alt i alle.
