Ephesians 1
1 Paul, an emissary of Messiah Yeshua through the will of God, to the holy ones who are at Ephesus, and the faithful in Messiah Yeshua:
PAUL, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus:
2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Yeshua the Messiah.
grace be unto you, and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Messiah,
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with every spiritual blessing in heavenly things in Christ;
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,
as he hath elected us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him in love:
5 having predestined us for adoption as children through Yeshua the Messiah to himself, according to the good pleasure of his desire,
having predestinated us for his adopted children by Jesus Christ unto himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
6 to the praise of the glory of his grace, by which he freely gave us favour in the Beloved.
to the praise of the glory of his grace, whereby he hath made us acceptable in that beloved one;
7 In him we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace
in whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
8 which he made to abound towards us in all wisdom and prudence,
wherein he hath abounded towards us with all wisdom and intelligence,
9 making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in him
having made known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in himself;
10 to an administration of the fullness of the times, to sum up all things in Messiah, the things in the heavens and the things on the earth, in him.
at the dispensation of the fulness of the appointed times to gather together under one head all things in Christ, whether they be things in heaven or things in earth, in him:
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,
in whom also we have obtained our inheritance, predestinated according to the purpose of him who effectually worketh all things according to the counsel of his own will:
12 to the end that we should be to the praise of his glory, we who had before hoped in Messiah.
that we should be to the praise of his glory, who first had hope in Christ.
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 trusted after ye had heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, ye have been sealed with the holy Spirit of promise,
14 who is a pledge of our inheritance, to the redemption of God’s own possession, to the praise of his glory.
which is the earnest of our inheritance, until the final redemption, acquired by him, come, to the praise of his glory.
15 For this cause I also, having heard of the faith in the Lord Yeshua which is amongst you and the love which you have towards all the holy ones,
For this cause I also, since I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and the love ye have to all saints,
16 don’t cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers,
have not ceased offering up my praises for you, making mention of you in my prayers,
17 that the God of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, 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 Christ, the Father of glory, would give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation by the knowledge 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 holy ones,
the eyes of your understanding being enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he hath called you, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance for the saints,
19 and what is the exceeding greatness of his power towards us who believe, according to that working of the strength of his might
and what the transcendent greatness of his power in us, who believe, according to the energy of his mighty strength
20 which he worked in Messiah when he raised him from the dead and made him to sit at his right hand in the heavenly places,
which he displayed in Christ when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly regions,
21 far above all rule, authority, power, dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age, but also in that which is to come. (aiōn g165)
far above all principality, and authority, and power, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is 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 hath put all things under his feet, and hath appointed him head over all to the church,
23 which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.
which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
