2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!
3 Blessed is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the one having blessed us with all spiritual blessing in the heavenlies in Christ:
Blessed [is] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who blessed us in every spiritual blessing in the heavenly [places] in Christ,
4 as he elected us in himself before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless in his presence.
according as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, for our being holy and unblemished before Him, in love,
5 in love having predestinated us unto the adoption of sons unto himself through Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of his will,
having foreordained us to the adoption of sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will,
6 unto the praise of the glory of his grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved:
to the praise of the glory of His grace, in which He made us accepted in the beloved,
7 in whom we have redemption through his blood, the remission of transgressions, according to the riches of his grace,
in whom we have the redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of the trespasses, according to the riches of His grace,
8 which he has abounded unto us in all wisdom and understanding,
in which He abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence,
9 having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his own good pleasure, which he purposed in himself
having made known to us the secret of His will, according to His good pleasure, that He purposed in Himself,
10 in the economy of the fulness of the times, to rehead all things in Christ, those in the heavens, and those upon the earth; in him,
in regard to the dispensation of the fullness of the times, to bring into one the whole in the Christ, both the things in the heavens, and the things on the earth—in Him;
11 in whom we were also chosen by lot, having been predestinated according to the purpose of him who works all things within us according to the counsel of his own will;
in whom also we obtained an inheritance, being foreordained according to the purpose of Him who is working all things according to the counsel of His will,
12 that we should be unto the praise of his glory, who first exercised hope in Christ:
for our being to the praise of His glory, [even] those who first hoped in the Christ,
13 in whom you also, having heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, in whom, also having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,
in whom you also, having heard the word of the truth—the good news of your salvation—in whom also having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of the promise,
14 who is the earnest of our salvation, unto the redemption of the possession, unto the praise of his glory.
which is a deposit of our inheritance, to the redemption of the acquired possession, to the praise of His glory.
15 Therefore I also, having heard of the faith among you in the Lord Jesus, and your love which is toward all the saints,
Because of this I also, having heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and the love to all the holy ones,
16 I do not cease giving thanks for you making mention of you in my prayers;
do not cease giving thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers,
17 in order that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of the glory, may grant unto you the spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the perfect knowledge of himself;
that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of the glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the recognition of Him,
18 the eyes of your heart having been enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of his calling, what the riches of the glory of his inheritance among the saints,
the eyes of your understanding being enlightened, for your knowing what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the holy ones,
19 and what the excellent majesty of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of the power of his might
and what the exceeding greatness of His power to us who are believing, according to the working of the power of His might,
20 which he has wrought in Christ, raising him from the dead, and seating him on his right hand in the heavenlies,
which He worked in the Christ, having raised Him out of the dead, and sat [Him] at His right hand in the heavenly [places],
21 above all government, and authority, and power, and lordship, and every name named, not only in this age, but in the age to come: (aiōn g165)
far above all principality, and authority, and might, and lordship, and every name named, not only in this age, but also in the coming one; (aiōn g165)
22 and has subordinated all things beneath his feet, and given him to be head over all things to the church,
and He put all things under His feet, and gave Him—head over all things to the Assembly,
23 which is his body, the fulness of him who fills all things in all.
which is His body, the fullness of Him who is filling all in all.
