Ephesians 1
1 Paul, an Apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, to all the saints who are at Ephesus and to 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 and peace to you from God the Father, and from 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 heavens, 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 just as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, so that we would be holy and immaculate in his sight, in charity.
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 He has predestined us to adoption as sons, through Jesus Christ, in himself, according to the purpose of his will,
and adopted us for sons, in Jesus the Messiah, as was agreeable to his pleasure:
6 for the praise of the glory of his grace, with which he has gifted us in his beloved Son.
that the glory of his grace might be glorified, which he poured upon us by his Beloved One;
7 In him, we have redemption through his blood: the remission of sins in accord with 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 is superabundant in us, with all wisdom and prudence.
which hath abounded in us, in all wisdom and all spiritual understanding.
9 So does he make known to us the mystery of his will, which he has set forth in Christ, in a manner well-pleasing to him,
And he hath made us know the mystery of his pleasure, which he had before determined in himself to accomplish,
10 in the dispensation of the fullness of time, so as to renew in Christ everything that exists through him in heaven and on earth.
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 In him, we too are called to our portion, having been predestined in accord with the plan of the One who accomplishes all things by 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 So may we be, to the praise of his glory, we who have hoped beforehand in Christ.
that we should be they who first hoped in the Messiah, to the honor of his glory.
13 In him, you also, after you heard and believed the Word of truth, which is the Gospel of your salvation, were sealed with the Holy Spirit of the Promise.
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 He is the pledge of our inheritance, unto the acquisition of redemption, 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 Because of this, and hearing of your faith that is in the Lord Jesus, and of your love 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 I have not ceased giving thanks for you, calling you to mind in my prayers,
cease not to give thanks on your account, and to remember you in my prayers;
17 so that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give a spirit of wisdom and of revelation to you, in 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 May the eyes of your heart be illuminated, so that you may know what is the hope of his calling, and the wealth of the glory of his inheritance with 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 the preeminent magnitude of his virtue toward us, toward we who believe in accord with the work of his powerful virtue,
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 wrought in Christ, raising him from the dead and establishing him at his right hand in the heavens,
which he put forth in the Messiah, and raised him from the dead, and seated him at his right hand in heaven,
21 above every principality and power and virtue and dominion, and above every name that is given, not only in this age, but even in the future age. (aiōn g165)
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 And he has subjected all things under his feet, and he has made him the head over the entire Church,
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 and which is the fullness of him who accomplishes everything in everyone.
which is his body, and the fullness of him who filleth all in all:
