Ephesians 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, to the holy ones who are in Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus:
PAUL, a legate of Jesus the Messiah by the pleasure of God, to them who are at Ephesus, sanctified, and believing in Jesus the Messiah:
2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!
Peace be with you, and grace from God our Father, and from our Lord Jesus the Messiah.
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 God, the Father of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, who hath blessed us with all blessings of the Spirit in heaven, by the Messiah:
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 had previously chosen us in him, before the foundation of the world, that we might be holy and without blame before him; and, in love, predestinated us for himself;
5 having foreordained us to the adoption of sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will,
and adopted us for sons, in Jesus the Messiah, as was agreeable to his pleasure:
6 to the praise of the glory of His grace, in which He made us accepted in the beloved,
that the glory of his grace might be glorified, which he poured upon us by his Beloved One;
7 in whom we have the redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of the trespasses, according to the riches of His grace,
by whom we have redemption, and the forgiveness of sins by his blood, according to the riches of his grace,
8 in which He abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence,
which hath abounded in us, in all wisdom and all spiritual understanding.
9 having made known to us the secret of His will, according to His good pleasure, that He purposed in Himself,
And he hath made us know the mystery of his pleasure, which he had before determined in himself to accomplish,
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 times; that all things might again be made new in the Messiah, things in heaven and things 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,
And in him we are elected, according as he predestined us and willed, who worketh all things according to the counsel of his pleasure;
12 for our being to the praise of His glory, [even] those who first hoped in the Christ,
that we should be they who first hoped in the Messiah, to the honor of his glory.
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, ye also have heard the word of truth, which is the gospel of your life, and have believed in him; and have been sealed with the Holy Spirit, who was promised,
14 which is a deposit of our inheritance, to the redemption of the acquired possession, to the praise of His glory.
who is the earnest of our inheritance, until the redemption of them that are alive, and for 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,
Therefore, lo I also, since I heard of your faith in our Lord Jesus the Messiah, 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 on your account, and to remember 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 the Messiah, the Father of glory, may give to you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation, in the recognition 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,
and that the eyes of your hearts may be enlightened, so that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches 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 excellence of the majesty of his power in us who believe; according to the efficiency of the strength 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 put forth in the Messiah, and raised him from the dead, and seated him at his right hand in heaven,
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 all principalities, and authorities, and powers, and lordships, and above every name that is named, not only in this world but also in that 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 given him who is high over all, to be the head of the church;
23 which is His body, the fullness of Him who is filling all in all.
which is his body, and the fullness of him who filleth all in all:
