Ephesians 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, to God's holy people in Ephesus, who are faithful in Christ Jesus.
Paulus Apostolus Iesu Christi per voluntatem Dei, omnibus sanctis, qui sunt Ephesi, et fidelibus in Christo Iesu.
2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Gratia vobis, et pax a Deo Patre nostro, et Domino Iesu Christo.
3 May the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ be praised, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ.
Benedictus Deus et Pater Domini nostri Iesu Christi, qui benedixit nos in omni benedictione spirituali in cælestibus in Christo,
4 God chose us in him from the beginning of the world, that we may be holy and blameless in his sight in love.
sicut elegit nos in ipso ante mundi constitutionem, ut essemus sancti et immaculati in conspectu eius in charitate.
5 God chose us beforehand for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of his will.
Qui prædestinavit nos in adoptionem filiorum per Iesum Christum in ipsum: secundum propositum voluntatis suæ,
6 Our adoption results in the praise of his glorious grace that he has freely given us in the One he loves.
in laudem gloriæ gratiæ suæ, in qua gratificavit nos in dilecto filio suo.
7 In Jesus Christ we have redemption through his blood and the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace.
In quo habemus redemptionem per sanguinem eius, remissionem peccatorum secundum divitias gratiæ eius,
8 He lavished this grace upon us with all wisdom and understanding.
quæ superabundavit in nobis in omni sapientia, et prudentia:
9 God made known to us the hidden purpose of his will, according to what pleased him, and which he demonstrated in Christ,
ut notum faceret nobis sacramentum voluntatis suæ, secundum beneplacitum eius, quod proposuit in eo,
10 with a view to a plan for the fullness of time, to bring all things together, all things in heaven and on earth, under one head, even Christ.
in dispensatione plenitudinis temporum, instaurare omnia in Christo, quæ in cælis, et quæ in terra sunt, in ipso:
11 In Christ we were appointed as heirs. We were decided on beforehand according to the plan of him who works out everything according to the purpose of his will.
In quo etiam et nos sorte vocati sumus prædestinati secundum propositum eius, qui operatur omnia secundum consilium voluntatis suæ:
12 God appointed us as heirs so that we might be the first to have a certain hope in Christ, so we would be for the praise of his glory.
ut simus in laudem gloriæ eius nos, qui ante speravimus in Christo:
13 In Christ, you also, when you had heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, you believed in him and were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,
In quo et vos, cum audissetis verbum veritatis, (Evangelium salutis vestræ) in quo et credentes signati estis Spiritu promissionis sancto,
14 who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we take full possession of it, to the praise of his glory.
qui est pignus hereditatis nostræ, in redemptionem acquisitionis, in laudem gloriæ ipsius.
15 For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all God's holy people,
Propterea et ego audiens fidem vestram, quæ est in Domino Iesu, et dilectionem in omnes sanctos,
16 I have not stopped thanking God for you as I mention you in my prayers.
non cesso gratias agens pro vobis, memoriam vestri faciens in orationibus meis:
17 I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, will give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him.
ut Deus, Domini nostri Iesu Christi pater gloriæ, det vobis spiritum sapientiæ et revelationis, in agnitione eius:
18 I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, that you may know the hope to which he has called you and the riches of his glorious inheritance among all God's holy people.
illuminatos oculos cordis vestri, ut sciatis quæ sit spes vocationis eius, et quæ divitiæ gloriæ hereditatis eius in sanctis,
19 In my prayers I ask that you may know the incomparable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great strength.
et quæ sit supereminens magnitudo virtutis eius in nos, qui credimus secundum operationem potentiæ virtutis eius,
20 This is the same power that God worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places.
quam operatus est in Christo, suscitans illum a mortuis, et constituens ad dexteram suam in cælestibus:
21 He seated Christ far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named. Christ will rule, not only in this age, but also in the age to come. (aiōn g165)
supra omnem principatum et potestatem, et virtutem, et dominationem, et omne nomen, quod nominatur non solum in hoc sæculo, sed etiam in futuro. (aiōn g165)
22 God put all things under Christ's feet and gave him to the church as head over all things.
Et omnia subiecit sub pedibus eius: et ipsum dedit caput supra omnem Ecclesiam,
23 The church is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.
quæ est corpus ipsius, et plenitudo eius, qui omnia in omnibus adimpletur.
