2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!
grace be to you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Blessed [is] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who blessed us in every spiritual blessing in the heavenly [places] in Christ,
Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in heavenly things in Christ,
4 according as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, for our being holy and unblemished before Him, in love,
according as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him in love,
5 having foreordained us to the adoption of sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will,
having predestinated us for adoption to himself through Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of his will,
6 to the praise of the glory of His grace, in which He made us accepted in the beloved,
for the praise of the glory of his grace, by which he has shown us favor in the Beloved,
7 in whom we have the redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of the trespasses, according to the riches of His grace,
in whom we have redemption through his blood, even the remission of sins, according to the riches of his grace,
8 in which He abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence,
which he has made to abound to us in all wisdom and understanding,
9 having made known to us the secret of His will, according to His good pleasure, that He purposed in Himself,
by making known to us the mystery of his will according to his good purpose which he had before established in himself,
10 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;
for a dispensation at the fullness of the times, in order that he might bring together for himself all things in the Christ, both those which are in the heavens, and those which are on earth;
11 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,
in him in whom we have obtained our portion, having been predestinated according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will,
12 for our being to the praise of His glory, [even] those who first hoped in the Christ,
that we should be for the praise of his glory; even we, who before had hope in the Christ:
13 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,
in whom you also hoped after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom, after you also believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,
14 which is a deposit of our inheritance, to the redemption of the acquired possession, to the praise of His glory.
which is the earnest of our inheritance, given for the redemption of his possession to the praise of his glory.
15 Because of this I also, having heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and the love to all the holy ones,
For this reason I also, since I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and your love to all the saints,
16 do not cease 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 the glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the recognition of Him,
that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the acknowledgment of him,
18 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,
that, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened, you may know what is the hope of his calling, and what are the glorious riches of his inheritance in the saints,
19 and what the exceeding greatness of His power to us who are believing, according to the working of the power of His might,
and what is the exceeding greatness of his power to ward us who believe in accordance with the energy of his mighty power,
20 which He worked in the Christ, having raised Him out of the dead, and sat [Him] at His right hand in the heavenly [places],
which he made active in the Christ when he raised him from the dead, and caused him to sit at his right hand in the heavenly places,
21 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)
high above every principality and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age, but also in that which is to come; (aiōn g165)
22 and He put all things under His feet, and gave Him—head over all things to the Assembly,
and subjected all things under his feet, and made him head over all things for the church,
23 which is His body, the fullness of Him who is filling all in all.
which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all his members with all things,
