1 Paul ^G3972, an apostle ^G652 of Christ ^G5547 Jesus ^G2424 [fn]by the will ^G2307 of God ^G2316,

To the [fn]saints ^G40 who are [fn]at Ephesus ^G2181 and who are faithful ^G4103 in Christ ^G5547 Jesus ^G2424:

2 Grace ^G5485 to you and peace ^G1515 from God ^G2316 our Father ^G3962 and the Lord ^G2962 Jesus ^G2424 Christ ^G5547.

3 Blessed ^G2128 be the God ^G2316 and Father ^G3962 of our Lord ^G2962 Jesus ^G2424 Christ ^G5547, who has blessed ^G2127 us with every ^G3956 spiritual ^G4152 blessing ^G2129 in the heavenly ^G2032 places in Christ ^G5547, 4 just ^G2531 as He chose ^G1586 us in Him before ^G4253 the foundation ^G2602 of the world ^G2889, that we would be holy ^G40 and blameless ^G299 before ^G2714 [fn]Him in love ^G26, 5 by predestining ^G4309 us to adoption ^G5206 as ^G5206 sons ^G5206 through ^G1223 Jesus ^G2424 Christ ^G5547 to Himself ^G846, according ^G2596 to the good ^G2107 pleasure ^G2107 of His will ^G2307, 6 to the praise ^G1868 of the glory ^G1391 of His grace ^G5485, which ^G3739 He graciously ^G5487 bestowed ^G5487 on us in the Beloved ^G25. 7 In [fn]Him we have ^G2192 redemption ^G629 through ^G1223 His blood ^G129, the forgiveness ^G859 of our transgressions ^G3900, according ^G2596 to the riches ^G4149 of His grace ^G5485 8 which ^G3739 He caused to abound ^G4052 to us in all ^G3956 wisdom ^G4678 and insight ^G5428, 9 making ^G1107 known ^G1107 to us the mystery ^G3466 of His will ^G2307, according ^G2596 to His good ^G2107 pleasure ^G2107 which ^G3739 He purposed ^G4388 in Him 10 for ^G1519 an administration ^G3622 of ^G3588 the fullness ^G4138 of the times ^G2540, that is, the summing ^G346 up ^G346 of all ^G3956 things ^G3956 in Christ ^G5547, things [fn]in the heavens ^G3772 and things on the earth ^G1093 in Him. 11 In [fn]Him, we also ^G2532 [fn]have been made ^G2820 an ^G2820 inheritance ^G2820, having been predestined ^G4309 according ^G2596 to the purpose ^G4286 of Him who works ^G1754 all ^G3956 things ^G3956 according ^G2596 to the counsel ^G1012 of His will ^G2307, 12 to the end ^G1519 that we who first ^G4276 have ^G4276 hoped ^G4276 in [fn]Christ ^G5547 would be to the praise ^G1868 of His glory ^G1391. 13 In [fn]Him, you also ^G2532, after listening ^G191 to the word ^G3056 of truth ^G225, the gospel ^G2098 of your salvation ^G4991—having also ^G2532 [fn]believed ^G4100, you were sealed ^G4972 in [fn]Him with the Holy ^G40 Spirit ^G4151 of promise ^G1860, 14 who ^G3739 is [fn]given ^G728 as a pledge ^G728 of our inheritance ^G2817, unto ^G1519 the redemption ^G629 of God’s own possession ^G4047, to the praise ^G1868 of His glory ^G1391.

15 For this ^G3778 reason ^G1223 I too ^G2532, having heard ^G191 of the faith ^G4102 in the Lord ^G2962 Jesus ^G2424 which exists among ^G2596 you and [fn]your love ^G26 for all ^G3956 the [fn]saints ^G40, 16 do not cease ^G3973 giving ^G2168 thanks ^G2168 for you, while making ^G4160 mention ^G3417 of you in my prayers ^G4335: 17 that the God ^G2316 of our Lord ^G2962 Jesus ^G2424 Christ ^G5547, the Father ^G3962 of glory ^G1391, may give ^G1325 to you the [fn]Spirit ^G4151 of wisdom ^G4678 and of revelation ^G602 in the [fn]full ^G1922 knowledge ^G1922 of Him, 18 so ^G1519 that you—the eyes ^G3788 of your heart ^G2588 having been enlightened ^G5461—will know ^G6063 what ^G5101 is the hope ^G1680 of His calling ^G2821, what ^G5101 are the riches ^G4149 of the glory ^G1391 of His inheritance ^G2817 in the [fn]saints ^G40, 19 and what ^G5101 is the surpassing ^G5235 greatness ^G3174 of His power ^G1411 toward ^G1519 us who believe ^G4100 according ^G2596 to the working ^G1753 of the might ^G2904 of His strength ^G2479, 20 which ^G3739 He worked ^G1754 in Christ ^G5547, by raising ^G1453 Him from the dead ^G3498 and seating ^G2523 Him at His right ^G1188 hand ^G1188 in the heavenly ^G2032 places, 21 far ^G5231 above ^G5231 all ^G3956 rule ^G746 and authority ^G1849 and power ^G1411 and dominion ^G2963, and every ^G3956 name ^G3686 that is named ^G3687, not only ^G3440 in this ^G3778 age ^G165 but also ^G2532 in the one to ^G3195 come ^G3195. 22 And HE PUT ^G5293 ALL ^G3956 THINGS ^G3956 IN SUBJECTION ^G5293 UNDER ^G5259 HIS FEET ^G4228, and gave ^G1325 Him as head ^G2776 over ^G5228 all ^G3956 things ^G3956 to the church ^G1577, 23 which ^G3748 is His body ^G4983, the fullness ^G4138 of Him who fills ^G4137 all ^G3956 in all ^G3956.
