1 παυλος αποστολος χριστου ιησου 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 who are in Ephesus and to the faithful in Christ Jesus,
2 χαρις υμιν και ειρηνη απο θεου πατρος ημων και κυριου ιησου χριστου
grace to you and peace from God our father and 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 in every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms in Christ.
4 καθως εξελεξατο ημας εν αυτω προ καταβολης κοσμου ειναι ημας αγιους και αμωμους κατενωπιον αυτου εν αγαπη
Even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world to be holy and without blemish in his sight.
5 προορισας ημας εις υιοθεσιαν δια ιησου χριστου εις αυτον κατα την ευδοκιαν του θεληματος αυτου
For in his love he predestined us (such was the good pleasure of his will) to adoption for himself as sons through Jesus Christ,
6 εις επαινον δοξης της χαριτος αυτου ης εχαριτωσεν ημας εν τω ηγαπημενω
and to the praise of his glorious grace which he graciously bestowed upon us in the Beloved.
7 εν ω εχομεν την απολυτρωσιν δια του αιματος αυτου την αφεσιν των παραπτωματων κατα το πλουτος της χαριτος αυτου
It is in him we have deliverance, the forgiveness of our trespasses, through his blood;
8 ης επερισσευσεν εις ημας εν παση σοφια και φρονησει
so abundantly did he lavish upon us the riches of his grace in all wisdom and understanding,
9 γνωρισας ημιν το μυστηριον του θεληματος αυτου κατα την ευδοκιαν αυτου ην προεθετο εν αυτω
when he made known to us, I say, that good pleasure which he purposed in himself
10 εις οικονομιαν του πληρωματος των καιρων ανακεφαλαιωσασθαι τα παντα εν τω χριστω τα επι τοις ουρανοις και τα επι της γης
for the government of the fulness of the ages, that all things in heaven and earth are alike should be gathered up in Christ, as Head.
11 εν αυτω εν ω και εκληρωθημεν προορισθεντες κατα προθεσιν του τα παντα ενεργουντος κατα την βουλην του θεληματος αυτου
It is he in whom we Jews also have our inheritance, having been chosen beforehand according to the purpose of Him who executes all things according to the counsel of his will,
12 εις το ειναι ημας εις επαινον δοξης αυτου τους προηλπικοτας εν τω χριστω
that we who first hoped in Christ should be for the praise of his glory.
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
And in him, because you listened to the proclamation of the truth, the evangel of your salvation, and trusted it, you Gentiles too were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,
14 ο εστιν αρραβων της κληρονομιας ημων εις απολυτρωσιν της περιποιησεως εις επαινον της δοξης αυτου
who for the praise of his glory is the pledge of our common heritage, unto the complete redemption of his purchased property.
15 δια τουτο καγω ακουσας την καθ υμας πιστιν εν τω κυριω ιησου και την {VAR2: αγαπην την } εις παντας τους αγιους
For this reason I also, from the time when I heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which prevails among you, and your love to all the saints,
16 ου παυομαι ευχαριστων υπερ υμων μνειαν ποιουμενος επι των προσευχων μου
do not cease to praise God for you, whenever I mention 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
I am praying that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father most glorious, may grant you a spirit of wisdom and revelation, through an intimate knowledge of himself;
18 πεφωτισμενους τους οφθαλμους της καρδιας [υμων] εις το ειδεναι υμας τις εστιν η ελπις της κλησεως αυτου τις ο πλουτος της δοξης της κληρονομιας αυτου εν τοις αγιοις
and that the eyes of your heart may be flooded with light so that you may understand what is the hope of his calling, what the wealth of the glory of his inheritance in 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 surpassing greatness of his might in us who believe, as seen in the energy of that resistless might
20 ην {VAR1: ενηργηκεν } {VAR2: ενηργησεν } εν τω χριστω εγειρας αυτον εκ νεκρων και καθισας εν δεξια αυτου εν τοις επουρανιοις
which he exercised in raising Christ from the dead, and in seating him at his right hand in the heavenly heights,
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 hierarchies and authorities and powers and dominions and every name that is named, not only in this age but in that which is to come. (aiōn g165)
22 και παντα υπεταξεν υπο τους ποδας αυτου και αυτον εδωκεν κεφαλην υπερ παντα τη εκκλησια
God has put all things under Christ’s feet, and placed him as Head over all in the church,
23 ητις εστιν το σωμα αυτου το πληρωμα του τα παντα εν πασιν πληρουμενου
which is his body, the fulness of Him who fills the universe.
