Paul, an Apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, to all the saints who are at Ephesus and to the faithful in Christ Jesus.
2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!
Grace and peace to you from God the 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,
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavens, 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,
just as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, so that we would be holy and immaculate in his sight, in charity.
5 having foreordained us to the adoption of sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will,
He has predestined us to adoption as sons, through Jesus Christ, in himself, according to the purpose 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, with which he has gifted us in his beloved Son.
7 in whom we have the redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of the trespasses, according to the riches of His grace,
In him, we have redemption through his blood: the remission of sins in accord with the riches of his grace,
8 in which He abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence,
which is superabundant in us, with all wisdom and prudence.
9 having made known to us the secret of His will, according to His good pleasure, that He purposed in Himself,
So does he make known to us the mystery of his will, which he has set forth in Christ, in a manner well-pleasing to him,
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;
in the dispensation of the fullness of time, so as to renew in Christ everything that exists through him in heaven and 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, we too are called to our portion, having been predestined in accord with the plan of the One who accomplishes all things by the counsel of his will.
12 for our being to the praise of His glory, [even] those who first hoped in the Christ,
So may we be, to the praise of his glory, we who have hoped beforehand in 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 him, you also, after you heard and believed the Word of truth, which is the Gospel of your salvation, were sealed with the Holy Spirit of the Promise.
14 which is a deposit of our inheritance, to the redemption of the acquired possession, to the praise of His glory.
He is the pledge of our inheritance, unto the acquisition of redemption, 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,
Because of this, and hearing of your faith that is in the Lord Jesus, and of your love toward all the saints,
16 do not cease giving thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers,
I have not ceased giving thanks for you, calling you to mind 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,
so that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give a spirit of wisdom and of revelation to you, in knowledge 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,
May the eyes of your heart be illuminated, so that you may know what is the hope of his calling, and the wealth of the glory of his inheritance with 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 the preeminent magnitude of his virtue toward us, toward we who believe in accord with the work of his powerful virtue,
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 wrought in Christ, raising him from the dead and establishing him at his right hand in the heavens,
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)
above every principality and power and virtue and dominion, and above every name that is given, not only in this age, but even in the future age. (aiōn g165)
22 and He put all things under His feet, and gave Him—head over all things to the Assembly,
And he has subjected all things under his feet, and he has made him the head over the entire Church,
23 which is His body, the fullness of Him who is filling all in all.
which is his body and which is the fullness of him who accomplishes everything in everyone.
