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 are faithful^G4103 in Christ^G5547 Jesus^G2424:

Eph 1:2Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

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,

Eph 1:4

Eph 1:4just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before [fn]Him. In love

Eph 1:5

Eph 1:5 [fn]He predestined us to adoption as sons and daughters through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will,

Eph 1:6

Eph 1:6to the praise of the glory of His grace, with which He favored us in the Beloved.

Eph 1:7

Eph 1:7In [fn]Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our wrongdoings, according to the riches of His grace

Eph 1:8

Eph 1:8which He [fn]lavished on [fn]us. In all wisdom and insight

Eph 1:9

Eph 1:9He [fn]made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He set forth in Him,

Eph 1:10

Eph 1:10regarding His plan of the fullness of the times, to bring all things together in Christ, things [fn]in the heavens and things on the earth.

Eph 1:11

Eph 1:11 [fn]In Him we also have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things in accordance with the plan of His will,

Eph 1:12

Eph 1:12to the end that [fn]we who were the first to hope in the [fn]Christ would be to the praise of His glory.

Eph 1:13

Eph 1:13In [fn]Him, [fn]you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation—having also [fn]believed, you were sealed in [fn]Him with the Holy Spirit of the promise,

Eph 1:14

Eph 1:14who is a first installment of our inheritance, in regard to the redemption of God’s own possession, to the praise of His glory.

Eph 1:15

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,

Eph 1:16

Eph 1:16do not cease giving thanks for you, while making mention of you in my prayers;

Eph 1:17

Eph 1:17that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the [fn]knowledge of Him.

Eph 1:18

Eph 1:18I pray that the eyes of your heart [fn]may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the [fn]saints,

Eph 1:19

Eph 1:19and what is the [fn]boundless greatness of His power toward us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of the strength of His might

Eph 1:20

Eph 1:20which He brought about in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places,

Eph 1:21

Eph 1:21far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come.

Eph 1:22

Eph 1:22And He put all things in subjection under His feet, and made Him head over all things to the church,

Eph 1:23

Eph 1:23which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.
