2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!
Grace be to you, and peace 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 hath blessed us with spiritual blessings in heavenly places, 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,
As he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and unspotted 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,
Who hath predestinated us unto the adoption of children through Jesus Christ unto 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,
Unto the praise of the glory of his grace, in which he hath graced 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 whom we have redemption through his blood, the remission of sins, according to the riches of his grace,
8 in which He abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence,
Which hath superabounded in us in 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,
That he might make known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure, which he hath purposed in 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 fulness of times, to re-establish all things in Christ, that are in heaven and on earth, in him.
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 whom we also are called by lot, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh 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 may be unto the praise of his glory, we who before hoped 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, after you had heard the word of truth, (the gospel of your salvation; ) in whom also believing, you were signed 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.
Who is the pledge of our inheritance, unto the redemption of acquisition, unto 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,
Wherefore I also, hearing of your faith that is in the Lord Jesus, and of your love towards all the saints,
16 do not cease giving thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers,
Cease not to give thanks for you, making commemoration 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 unto you the spirit of wisdom and of revelation, in the 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,
The eyes of your heart enlightened, that you may know what the hope is of the glory 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 towards us, who believe according to the operation of the might of his 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 wrought in Christ, raising him up from the dead, and setting him on 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)
Above all principality, and power, and virtue, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, 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 he hath subjected all things under his feet, and hath made him head over all the church,
23 which is His body, the fullness of Him who is filling all in all.
Which is his body, and the fulness of him who is filled all in all.
