1 παυλος αποστολος ιησου χριστου δια θεληματος θεου τοις αγιοις τοις ουσιν εν εφεσω και πιστοις εν χριστω ιησου
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, to the saints who are at Ephesus, and the faithful in Christ Jesus:
2 χαρις υμιν και ειρηνη απο θεου πατρος ημων και κυριου ιησου χριστου
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 ευλογητος ο θεος και πατηρ του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου ο ευλογησας ημας εν παση ευλογια πνευματικη εν τοις επουρανιοις εν χριστω
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,
4 καθως εξελεξατο ημας εν αυτω προ καταβολης κοσμου ειναι ημας αγιους και αμωμους κατενωπιον αυτου εν αγαπη
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,
5 προορισας ημας εις υιοθεσιαν δια ιησου χριστου εις αυτον κατα την ευδοκιαν του θεληματος αυτου
having predestined us for adoption as children through Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his desire,
6 εις επαινον δοξης της χαριτος αυτου εν η εχαριτωσεν ημας εν τω ηγαπημενω
to the praise of the glory of his grace, by which he freely gave us favor in the Beloved.
7 εν ω εχομεν την απολυτρωσιν δια του αιματος αυτου την αφεσιν των παραπτωματων κατα τον πλουτον της χαριτος αυτου
In him we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace
8 ης επερισσευσεν εις ημας εν παση σοφια και φρονησει
which he made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence,
9 γνωρισας ημιν το μυστηριον του θεληματος αυτου κατα την ευδοκιαν αυτου ην προεθετο εν αυτω
making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in him
10 εις οικονομιαν του πληρωματος των καιρων ανακεφαλαιωσασθαι τα παντα εν τω χριστω τα επι τοις ουρανοις και τα επι της γης
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.
11 εν αυτω εν ω και εκληρωθημεν προορισθεντες κατα προθεσιν του τα παντα ενεργουντος κατα την βουλην του θεληματος αυτου
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,
12 εις το ειναι ημας εις επαινον δοξης αυτου τους προηλπικοτας εν τω χριστω
to the end that we should be to the praise of his glory, we who had before hoped in Christ.
13 εν ω και υμεις ακουσαντες τον λογον της αληθειας το ευαγγελιον της σωτηριας υμων εν ω και πιστευσαντες εσφραγισθητε τω πνευματι της επαγγελιας τω αγιω
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,
14 ος εστιν αρραβων της κληρονομιας ημων εις απολυτρωσιν της περιποιησεως εις επαινον της δοξης αυτου
who is a pledge of our inheritance, to the redemption of God’s own possession, to the praise of his glory.
15 δια τουτο καγω ακουσας την καθ υμας πιστιν εν τω κυριω ιησου και την αγαπην την εις παντας τους αγιους
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,
16 ου παυομαι ευχαριστων υπερ υμων μνειαν υμων ποιουμενος επι των προσευχων μου
do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers,
17 ινα ο θεος του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου ο πατηρ της δοξης δωη υμιν πνευμα σοφιας και αποκαλυψεως εν επιγνωσει αυτου
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,
18 πεφωτισμενους τους οφθαλμους της καρδιας υμων εις το ειδεναι υμας τις εστιν η ελπις της κλησεως αυτου και τις ο πλουτος της δοξης της κληρονομιας αυτου εν τοις αγιοις
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,
19 και τι το υπερβαλλον μεγεθος της δυναμεως αυτου εις ημας τους πιστευοντας κατα την ενεργειαν του κρατους της ισχυος αυτου
and what is the exceeding greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to that working of the strength of his might
20 ην ενηργησεν εν τω χριστω εγειρας αυτον εκ των νεκρων και εκαθισεν εν δεξια αυτου εν τοις επουρανιοις
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,
21 υπερανω πασης αρχης και εξουσιας και δυναμεως και κυριοτητος και παντος ονοματος ονομαζομενου ου μονον εν τω αιωνι τουτω αλλα και εν τω μελλοντι (aiōn g165)
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.
22 και παντα υπεταξεν υπο τους ποδας αυτου και αυτον εδωκεν κεφαλην υπερ παντα τη εκκλησια
He put all things in subjection under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things for the assembly,
23 ητις εστιν το σωμα αυτου το πληρωμα του τα παντα εν πασιν πληρουμενου
which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.
