1 παυλος αποστολος ιησου χριστου δια θεληματος θεου τοις αγιοις τοις ουσιν εν εφεσω και πιστοις εν χριστω ιησου
Paul, an Apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, to the saints that are in Ephesus, even the believers in Christ Jesus:
2 χαρις υμιν και ειρηνη απο θεου πατρος ημων και κυριου ιησου χριστου
Favor to you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 ευλογητος ο θεος και πατηρ του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου ο ευλογησας ημας εν παση ευλογια πνευματικη εν τοις επουρανιοις εν χριστω
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ;
4 καθως εξελεξατο ημας εν αυτω προ καταβολης κοσμου ειναι ημας αγιους και αμωμους κατενωπιον αυτου εν αγαπη
according as he has elected us in him, before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy, and unblamable in his sight; in love,
5 προορισας ημας εις υιοθεσιαν δια ιησου χριστου εις αυτον κατα την ευδοκιαν του θεληματος αυτου
having formerly marked us out for adoption through Jesus Christ, to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
6 εις επαινον δοξης της χαριτος αυτου εν η εχαριτωσεν ημας εν τω ηγαπημενω
to the praise of the glory of his favor, with which he has highly favored us in the Beloved;
7 εν ω εχομεν την απολυτρωσιν δια του αιματος αυτου την αφεσιν των παραπτωματων κατα τον πλουτον της χαριτος αυτου
in whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his favor,
8 ης επερισσευσεν εις ημας εν παση σοφια και φρονησει
which has abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;
9 γνωρισας ημιν το μυστηριον του θεληματος αυτου κατα την ευδοκιαν αυτου ην προεθετο εν αυτω
having made known to us the secret of his will according to his benevolent purpose, which he had purposed in himself,
10 εις οικονομιαν του πληρωματος των καιρων ανακεφαλαιωσασθαι τα παντα εν τω χριστω τα τε εν τοις ουρανοις και τα επι της γης
for the administration of the fullness of the appointed times, to gather together all under Christ--all in the heavens, and all on the earth--under him:
11 εν αυτω εν ω και εκληρωθημεν προορισθεντες κατα προθεσιν του τα παντα ενεργουντος κατα την βουλην του θεληματος αυτου
under whom even we have inherited, having been formerly marked out according to the purpose of him who effectually works all things according to the counsel of his will,
12 εις το ειναι ημας εις επαινον της δοξης αυτου τους προηλπικοτας εν τω χριστω
that we should be to the praise of his glory, who before trusted in Christ.
13 εν ω και υμεις ακουσαντες τον λογον της αληθειας το ευαγγελιον της σωτηριας υμων εν ω και πιστευσαντες εσφραγισθητε τω πνευματι της επαγγελιας τω αγιω
In whom you, also, trusted, having heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom, also, having believed, you were sealed with the spirit of the promise--the Holy Spirit--
14 ος εστιν αρραβων της κληρονομιας ημων εις απολυτρωσιν της περιποιησεως εις επαινον της δοξης αυτου
who is an earnest of our inheritance, for the redemption of the purchase, to the praise of his glory.
15 δια τουτο καγω ακουσας την καθ υμας πιστιν εν τω κυριω ιησου και την αγαπην την εις παντας τους αγιους
For this reason, I, also, having heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and of your love to all the saints,
16 ου παυομαι ευχαριστων υπερ υμων μνειαν υμων ποιουμενος επι των προσευχων μου
do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;
17 ινα ο θεος του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου ο πατηρ της δοξης δωη υμιν πνευμα σοφιας και αποκαλυψεως εν επιγνωσει αυτου
that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, would give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him;
18 πεφωτισμενους τους οφθαλμους της διανοιας υμων εις το ειδεναι υμας τις εστιν η ελπις της κλησεως αυτου και τις ο πλουτος της δοξης της κληρονομιας αυτου εν τοις αγιοις
that the eyes of your understanding being enlightened, you may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance among the saints;
19 και τι το υπερβαλλον μεγεθος της δυναμεως αυτου εις ημας τους πιστευοντας κατα την ενεργειαν του κρατους της ισχυος αυτου
and what the exceeding greatness of his power, in relation to us who believe according to the working of his mighty power,
20 ην ενηργησεν εν τω χριστω εγειρας αυτον εκ νεκρων και εκαθισεν εν δεξια αυτου εν τοις επουρανιοις
which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places;
21 υπερανω πασης αρχης και εξουσιας και δυναμεως και κυριοτητος και παντος ονοματος ονομαζομενου ου μονον εν τω αιωνι τουτω αλλα και εν τω μελλοντι (aiōn g165)
far above all government, and power, and might, and lordship, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come; (aiōn g165)
22 και παντα υπεταξεν υπο τους ποδας αυτου και αυτον εδωκεν κεφαλην υπερ παντα τη εκκλησια
and subjected all things under his feet, and appointed him head over all things to the congregation,
23 ητις εστιν το σωμα αυτου το πληρωμα του παντα εν πασιν πληρουμενου
which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all;
