1Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God,[#1:1 Lit through]
T o the saints who are at Ephesus and are faithful in Christ Jesus:
2Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,
4just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him. In love[#1:4 Or Him, in love. He]
5He predestined us to adoption as sons and daughters through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will,[#1:5 Lit having predestined]
6to the praise of the glory of His grace, with which He favored us in the Beloved.
7In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our wrongdoings, according to the riches of His grace[#1:7 Lit whom]
8which He lavished on us. In all wisdom and insight[#1:8 Lit made abundant toward; #1:8 Or us in all wisdom and insight. He]
9He made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He set forth in Him,[#1:9 Lit making known]
10regarding His plan of the fullness of the times, to bring all things together in Christ, things in the heavens and things on the earth.[#1:10 Lit upon]
11In 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,[#1:11 Lit In whom also]
12to the end that we who were the first to hope in the Christ would be to the praise of His glory.[#1:12 I.e., Jewish believers; #1:12 I.e., Messiah]
13In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation—having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of the promise,[#1:13 Lit whom; #1:13 I.e., Gentile believers; #1:13 Or believed in Him, you were sealed; #1:13 Lit whom]
14who is a first installment of our inheritance, in regard to the redemption of God’s own possession, to the praise of His glory.
15For this reason I too, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which exists among you and your love for all the saints,[#1:15 Three early mss do not contain your love; #1:15 Lit holy ones; i.e., God’s people]
16do not cease giving thanks for you, while making mention of you in my prayers;
17that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him.[#1:17 Or true knowledge]
18I pray that the eyes of your heart 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 saints,[#1:18 Lit having been; #1:18 See note 2 v 15]
19and what is the boundless greatness of His power toward us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of the strength of His might[#1:19 Lit surpassing]
20which He brought about in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places,
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.
22And He put all things in subjection under His feet, and made Him head over all things to the church,
23which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.
