Ephesians 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, to the saints who are at Ephesus, and the faithful in Christ Jesus:
PAUL, a legate of Jesus the Messiah by the pleasure of God, to them who are at Ephesus, sanctified, and believing in Jesus the Messiah:
2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Peace be with you, and grace from God our Father, and from our Lord Jesus the Messiah.
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,
Blessed be God, the Father of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, who hath blessed us with all blessings of the Spirit in heaven, by the Messiah:
4 even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and without defect before him in love,
according as he had previously chosen us in him, before the foundation of the world, that we might be holy and without blame before him; and, in love, predestinated us for himself;
5 having predestined us for adoption as children through Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his desire,
and adopted us for sons, in Jesus the Messiah, as was agreeable to his pleasure:
6 to the praise of the glory of his grace, by which he freely gave us favor in the Beloved.
that the glory of his grace might be glorified, which he poured upon us by his Beloved One;
7 In him we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace
by whom we have redemption, and the forgiveness of sins by his blood, according to the riches of his grace,
8 which he made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence,
which hath abounded in us, in all wisdom and all spiritual understanding.
9 making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in him
And he hath made us know the mystery of his pleasure, which he had before determined in himself to accomplish,
10 to an administration of the fullness of the times, to sum up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens and the things on the earth, in him.
in the dispensation of the fullness of times; that all things might again be made new in the Messiah, things in heaven and things on earth.
11 We were also assigned an inheritance in him, having been foreordained according to the purpose of him who does all things after the counsel of his will,
And in him we are elected, according as he predestined us and willed, who worketh all things according to the counsel of his pleasure;
12 to the end that we should be to the praise of his glory, we who had before hoped in Christ.
that we should be they who first hoped in the Messiah, to the honor of his glory.
13 In him 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 promised Holy Spirit,
In whom, ye also have heard the word of truth, which is the gospel of your life, and have believed in him; and have been sealed with the Holy Spirit, who was promised,
14 who is a pledge of our inheritance, to the redemption of God’s own possession, to the praise of his glory.
who is the earnest of our inheritance, until the redemption of them that are alive, and for the praise of his glory.
15 For this cause I also, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which is among you and the love which you have toward all the saints,
Therefore, lo I also, since I heard of your faith in our Lord Jesus the Messiah, and of your love towards all the saints,
16 do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers,
cease not to give thanks on your account, and to remember you in my prayers;
17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him,
that the God of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, the Father of glory, may give to you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation, in the recognition of him;
18 having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of his calling, and what are the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
and that the eyes of your hearts may be enlightened, so that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints;
19 and what is the exceeding greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to that working of the strength of his might
and what is the excellence of the majesty of his power in us who believe; according to the efficiency of the strength of his power,
20 which he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and made him to sit at his right hand in the heavenly places,
which he put forth in the Messiah, and raised him from the dead, and seated him at his right hand in heaven,
21 far above all rule, authority, power, dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age (aiōn g165), but also in that which is to come.
high above all principalities, and authorities, and powers, and lordships, and above every name that is named, not only in this world but also in that to come: (aiōn g165)
22 He put all things in subjection under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things for the assembly,
and he hath subjected all things under his feet; and hath given him who is high over all, to be the head of the church;
23 which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.
which is his body, and the fullness of him who filleth all in all:
