1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, to the holy-ones who are in Ephesus and the faithful in Christ Jesus:

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

1:3 The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ is gracious*, who blessed us in every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,

1:4 just-as he chose us in him before the conception of the world, for us to be holy and unblemished in his sight in love*.

1:5 Having determined beforehand us to the sonship through Jesus Christ to himself, according to the delight of his will,

1:6 to the praise of the glory of his favor {'favor' and 'grace' are from the same Greek word in the MLV} , in which he favored us in the beloved,

1:7 in whom we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses according to the riches of his grace.

1:8 His grace which abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence,

1:9 having made known to us the mystery of his will, according to his delight which he purposed in him,

1:10 to a stewardship of the fullness of the times, to sum up all things in the Christ, the things upon the heavens and the things upon the earth.

1:11 In him, in whom also we were made an inheritance, having been determined beforehand according to the purpose of the one who is working all things after the plan of his will.

1:12 *That* we should be for the praise of his glory, we who have hoped before in the Christ,

1:13 in whom you* also, having heard the word of the truth, the good-news of your* salvation, in whom, having also believed, you* were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,

1:14 which is a down-payment of our inheritance, to the redemption of the ownership of God to the praise of his glory.


1:15 Because of this, I, also, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which is in you* and the love* which you* have toward all the holy-ones,

1:16 am not ceasing giving-thanks on your* behalf, making* a remembrance of you* in my prayers;

1:17 in order that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you* a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the full knowledge of him,

1:18 the eyes of your* heart having been enlightened, *that* you* may know what is the hope of his calling and what are the riches of the glory of his inheritance among the holy-ones,

1:19 and what is the surpassing greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of the dominion of his strength,

1:20 which he worked in the Christ, having raised him up from the dead and seated him by his right hand in the heavenly places,

1:21 up above all rule and authority and power and lordship and every name that is being named, not only in this age, but also in the future age.

1:22 And he subjected all things under his feet and gave him to be head above all things to the congregation* of believers,

1:23 which is his body, the fullness of the one who fills all in all.
