Ephesios 1
1 Paulus Apostolus Iesu Christi per voluntatem Dei, omnibus sanctis, qui sunt Ephesi, et fidelibus in Christo Iesu.
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, to the saints that are at Ephesus, and the faithful in Christ Jesus:
2 Gratia vobis, et pax a Deo Patre nostro, et Domino Iesu Christo.
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Benedictus Deus et Pater Domini nostri Iesu Christi, qui benedixit nos in omni benedictione spirituali in caelestibus in Christo,
Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly [places] in Christ:
4 sicut elegit nos in ipso ante mundi constitutionem, ut essemus sancti et immaculati in conspectu eius in charitate.
even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blemish before him in love:
5 Qui praedestinavit nos in adoptionem filiorum per Iesum Christum in ipsum: secundum propositum voluntatis suae,
having foreordained us unto adoption as sons through Jesus Christ unto himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
6 in laudem gloriae gratiae suae, in qua gratificavit nos in dilecto filio suo.
to the praise of the glory of his grace, which he freely bestowed on us in the Beloved:
7 In quo habemus redemptionem per sanguinem eius, remissionem peccatorum secundum divitias gratiae eius,
in whom we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,
8 quae superabundavit in nobis in omni sapientia, et prudentia:
which he made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence,
9 ut notum faceret nobis sacramentum voluntatis suae, secundum beneplacitum eius, quod proposuit in eo,
making known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in him
10 in dispensatione plenitudinis temporum, instaurare omnia in Christo, quae in caelis, et quae in terra sunt, in ipso:
unto a dispensation of the fulness of the times, to sum up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens, and the things upon the earth; in him, [I say],
11 In quo etiam et nos sorte vocati sumus praedestinati secundum propositum eius, qui operatur omnia secundum consilium voluntatis suae:
in whom also we were made a heritage, having been foreordained according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his will;
12 ut simus in laudem gloriae eius nos, qui ante speravimus in Christo:
to the end that we should be unto the praise of his glory, we who had before hoped in Christ:
13 In quo et vos, cum audissetis verbum veritatis, (Evangelium salutis vestrae) in quo et credentes signati estis Spiritu promissionis sancto,
in whom ye also, having heard the word of the truth, the gospel of your salvation, —in whom, having also believed, ye were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,
14 qui est pignus hereditatis nostrae, in redemptionem acquisitionis, in laudem gloriae ipsius.
which is an earnest of our inheritance, unto the redemption of [God’s] own possession, unto the praise of his glory.
15 Propterea et ego audiens fidem vestram, quae est in Christo Iesu, et dilectionem in omnes sanctos,
For this cause I also, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which is among you, and the love which [ye show] toward all the saints,
16 non cesso gratias agens pro vobis, memoriam vestri faciens in orationibus meis:
cease not to give thanks for you, making mention [of you] in my prayers;
17 ut Deus, Domini nostri Iesu Christi pater, gloriae, det vobis spiritum sapientiae et revelationis, in agnitione eius:
that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him;
18 illuminatos oculos cordis vestri, ut sciatis quae sit spes vocationis eius, et quae divitiae gloriae hereditatis eius in sanctis,
having the eyes of your heart enlightened, that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
19 et quae sit supereminens magnitudo virtutis eius in nos, qui credimus secundum operationem potentiae virtutis eius,
and what the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to that working of the strength of his might
20 quam operatus est in Christo, suscitans illum a mortuis, et constituens ad dexteram suam in caelestibus:
which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and made him to sit at his right hand in the heavenly [places],
21 supra omnem principatum et potestatem, et virtutem, et dominationem, et omne nomen, quod nominatur non solum in hoc saeculo, sed etiam in futuro. (aiōn g165)
far above all rule, 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 Et omnia subiecit sub pedibus eius: et ipsum dedit caput supra omnem Ecclesiam,
and he put all things in subjection under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things to the church,
23 quae est corpus ipsius, et plenitudo eius, qui omnia in omnibus adimpletur.
which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
