| # Chapter 1
| Paul, apostle of Jesus Christ by God's will, to the saints and faithful in Christ Jesus who are at Ephesus.
| Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and [the] Lord Jesus Christ.
| Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenlies in Christ;
| according as he has chosen us in him before [the] world's foundation, that we should be holy and blameless before him in love;
| having marked us out beforehand for adoption through Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
| to [the] praise of [the] glory of his grace, wherein he has taken us into favour in the Beloved:
| in whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of offences, according to the riches of his grace;
| which he has caused to abound towards us in all wisdom and intelligence,
| having made known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in himself
| for [the] administration of the fulness of times; to head up all things in the Christ, the things in the heavens and the things upon the earth; in him,
| in whom we have also obtained an inheritance, being marked out beforehand according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his own will,
| that we should be to [the] praise of his glory who have pre-trusted in the Christ:
| in whom ye also [have trusted], having heard the word of the truth, the glad tidings of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, ye have been sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,
| who is [the] earnest of our inheritance to the redemption of the acquired possession to [the] praise of his glory.
| Wherefore I also, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which [is] in you, and the love which [ye have] towards all the saints,
| do not cease giving thanks for you, making mention [of you] at my prayers,
| that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, would give you [the] spirit of wisdom and revelation in the full knowledge of him,
| being enlightened in the eyes of your heart, so that ye should know what is the hope of his calling, [and] what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
| and what the surpassing greatness of his power towards us who believe, according to the working of the might of his strength,
| [in] which he wrought in the Christ [in] raising him from among [the] dead, and he set him down at his right hand in the heavenlies,
| above every principality, and authority, and power, and dominion, and every name named, not only in this age, but also in that to come;
| and has put all things under his feet, and gave him [to be] head over all things to the assembly,
| which is his body, the fulness of him who fills all in all:
