1 Παῦλος, ἀπόστολος ˚Χριστοῦ ˚Ἰησοῦ διὰ θελήματος ˚Θεοῦ, τοῖς ἁγίοις τοῖς οὖσιν ἐν Ἐφέσῳ καὶ πιστοῖς ἐν ˚Χριστῷ ˚Ἰησοῦ:
Paul an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, to the saints, who are at Ephesus, even the faithful in Christ Jesus;
2 χάρις ὑμῖν καὶ εἰρήνη ἀπὸ ˚Θεοῦ Πατρὸς ἡμῶν καὶ ˚Κυρίου ˚Ἰησοῦ ˚Χριστοῦ.
grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Εὐλογητὸς ὁ ˚Θεὸς καὶ Πατὴρ τοῦ ˚Κυρίου ἡμῶν, ˚Ἰησοῦ ˚Χριστοῦ, ὁ εὐλογήσας ἡμᾶς ἐν πάσῃ εὐλογίᾳ πνευματικῇ ἐν τοῖς ἐπουρανίοις ἐν ˚Χριστῷ,
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly things by Christ;
4 καθὼς ἐξελέξατο ἡμᾶς ἐν αὐτῷ πρὸ καταβολῆς κόσμου, εἶναι ἡμᾶς ἁγίους καὶ ἀμώμους κατενώπιον αὐτοῦ ἐν ἀγάπῃ,
according as he hath chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and unblameable before Him in love:
5 προορίσας ἡμᾶς εἰς υἱοθεσίαν διὰ ˚Ἰησοῦ ˚Χριστοῦ εἰς αὐτόν, κατὰ τὴν εὐδοκίαν τοῦ θελήματος αὐτοῦ,
having before appointed us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ unto Himself, according to the good pleasure of his will;
6 εἰς ἔπαινον δόξης τῆς χάριτος αὐτοῦ, ἧς ἐχαρίτωσεν ἡμᾶς ἐν τῷ ἠγαπημένῳ,
to the praise of his glorious grace, whereby He hath made us acceptable in the Beloved:
7 ἐν ᾧ ἔχομεν τὴν ἀπολύτρωσιν διὰ τοῦ αἵματος αὐτοῦ, τὴν ἄφεσιν τῶν παραπτωμάτων, κατὰ τὸ πλοῦτος τῆς χάριτος αὐτοῦ,
in whom we have redemption through his blood, even the remission of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
8 ἧς ἐπερίσσευσεν εἰς ἡμᾶς ἐν πάσῃ σοφίᾳ καὶ φρονήσει,
wherein He hath abounded towards us with the highest wisdom and prudence;
9 γνωρίσας ἡμῖν τὸ μυστήριον τοῦ θελήματος αὐτοῦ, κατὰ τὴν εὐδοκίαν αὐτοῦ, ἣν προέθετο ἐν αὐτῷ,
having made known to us the secret of his will, according to his good pleasure, which He had before purposed in Himself:
10 εἰς οἰκονομίαν τοῦ πληρώματος τῶν καιρῶν, ἀνακεφαλαιώσασθαι τὰ πάντα ἐν τῷ ˚Χριστῷ, τὰ ἐπὶ τοῖς οὐρανοῖς, καὶ τὰ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς· ἐν αὐτῷ,
that in the dispensation of the fulness of times, He might reduce all things, both in heaven and on earth, under one head in Christ:
11 ἐν ᾧ καὶ ἐκληρώθημεν, προορισθέντες κατὰ πρόθεσιν τοῦ τὰ πάντα ἐνεργοῦντος, κατὰ τὴν βουλὴν τοῦ θελήματος αὐτοῦ,
even in Him, in whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated to it according to the purpose of Him who effecteth all things after the counsel of His own will:
12 εἰς τὸ εἶναι ἡμᾶς, εἰς ἔπαινον δόξης αὐτοῦ, τοὺς προηλπικότας ἐν τῷ ˚Χριστῷ·
that we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
13 ἐν ᾧ καὶ ὑμεῖς ἀκούσαντες τὸν λόγον τῆς ἀληθείας, τὸ εὐαγγέλιον τῆς σωτηρίας ὑμῶν, ἐν ᾧ καὶ πιστεύσαντες, ἐσφραγίσθητε τῷ ˚Πνεύματι τῆς ἐπαγγελίας τῷ Ἁγίῳ,
In whom ye also trusted, when ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also when ye believed, ye were sealed with the holy Spirit of promise,
14 ὅ ἐστιν ἀρραβὼν τῆς κληρονομίας ἡμῶν, εἰς ἀπολύτρωσιν τῆς περιποιήσεως, εἰς ἔπαινον τῆς δόξης αὐτοῦ.
who is the pledge of our inheritance, till the redemption of his purchased possession, to the praise of his glory.
15 Διὰ τοῦτο, κἀγώ ἀκούσας τὴν καθʼ ὑμᾶς πίστιν ἐν τῷ ˚Κυρίῳ ˚Ἰησοῦ, καὶ τὴν εἰς πάντας τοὺς ἁγίους,
Wherefore I also, having heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus,
16 οὐ παύομαι εὐχαριστῶν ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν, μνείαν ποιούμενος ἐπὶ τῶν προσευχῶν μου,
and your love to all the saints, cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;
17 ἵνα ὁ ˚Θεὸς τοῦ ˚Κυρίου ἡμῶν, ˚Ἰησοῦ ˚Χριστοῦ, ὁ Πατὴρ τῆς δόξης, δώῃ ὑμῖν πνεῦμα σοφίας καὶ ἀποκαλύψεως, ἐν ἐπιγνώσει αὐτοῦ,
that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, would give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation to the knowledge of Him,
18 πεφωτισμένους τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς τῆς καρδίας ὑμῶν εἰς τὸ εἰδέναι ὑμᾶς, τίς ἐστιν ἡ ἐλπὶς τῆς κλήσεως αὐτοῦ, τίς ὁ πλοῦτος τῆς δόξης τῆς κληρονομίας αὐτοῦ, ἐν τοῖς ἁγίοις,
and enlighten the eyes of your understanding; that ye may know, what is the hope of his calling, and how rich the glory of his inheritance in the saints;
19 καὶ τί τὸ ὑπερβάλλον μέγεθος τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτοῦ εἰς ἡμᾶς, τοὺς πιστεύοντας κατὰ τὴν ἐνέργειαν τοῦ κράτους τῆς ἰσχύος αὐτοῦ,
and what the exceeding greatness of his power towards us who believe, according to the energy of his mighty strength;
20 ἣν ἐνήργηκεν ἐν τῷ ˚Χριστῷ, ἐγείρας αὐτὸν ἐκ νεκρῶν, καὶ καθίσας ἐν δεξιᾷ αὐτοῦ, ἐν τοῖς ἐπουρανίοις,
which He exerted in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead, and set Him at his own right hand in heavenly places,
21 ὑπεράνω πάσης ἀρχῆς, καὶ ἐξουσίας, καὶ δυνάμεως, καὶ κυριότητος, καὶ παντὸς ὀνόματος ὀνομαζομένου, οὐ μόνον ἐν τῷ αἰῶνι τούτῳ, ἀλλὰ καὶ ἐν τῷ μέλλοντι· (aiōn g165)
far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: (aiōn g165)
22 καὶ πάντα ὑπέταξεν ὑπὸ τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ, καὶ αὐτὸν ἔδωκεν κεφαλὴν ὑπὲρ πάντα τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ,
and hath put all things under his feet, and given Him to be head over all things to the church;
23 ἥτις ἐστὶν τὸ σῶμα αὐτοῦ, τὸ πλήρωμα τοῦ τὰ πάντα ἐν πᾶσιν πληρουμένου.
which is his body, the complete work of Him, who filleth all in all.
