1 Paulus Apostolus Iesu Christi per voluntatem Dei, omnibus sanctis, qui sunt Ephesi, et fidelibus in Christo Iesu.
Paul, apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints who are at Ephesus, that is, 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 Sovereign 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 has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms in Christ;
4 sicut elegit nos in ipso ante mundi constitutionem, ut essemus sancti et immaculati in conspectu eius in charitate.
just as He[F] chose us in Him[S] before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before Him[F], in love,
5 Qui praedestinavit nos in adoptionem filiorum per Iesum Christum in ipsum: secundum propositum voluntatis suae,
having predestined us into an adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, into Him[S], according to the good pleasure of His[F] will,
6 in laudem gloriae gratiae suae, in qua gratificavit nos in dilecto filio suo.
to the praise of the glory of His grace, with which He graced us in the Beloved;
7 In quo habemus redemptionem per sanguinem eius, remissionem peccatorum secundum divitias gratiae eius,
in whom we have the redemption through His[S] blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His[F] grace,
8 quae superabundavit in nobis in omni sapientia, et prudentia:
that He made to abound toward us in all wisdom and intelligent design,
9 ut notum faceret nobis sacramentum voluntatis suae, secundum beneplacitum eius, quod proposuit in eo,
having made known to us the ‘secret’ of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Him[S],
10 in dispensatione plenitudinis temporum, instaurare omnia in Christo, quae in caelis, et quae in terra sunt, in ipso:
with a view to administering the fullness of the times, so as to bring all things together under one head in Christ—those on the heavens and those on the earth—in Him[S],
11 In quo etiam et nos sorte vocati sumus praedestinati secundum propositum eius, qui operatur omnia secundum consilium voluntatis suae:
in whom we were also assigned an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of Him[F] who works all things according to the decision of His will,
12 ut simus in laudem gloriae eius nos, qui ante speravimus in Christo:
so that we should be to the praise of His glory, we who first trusted in the Christ;
13 In quo et vos, cum audissetis verbum veritatis, (Evangelium salutis vestrae) in quo et credentes signati estis Spiritu promissionis sancto,
about whom, to be sure, we had heard the true Word—the Gospel of your salvation; by whom, since you also believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,
14 qui est pignus hereditatis nostrae, in redemptionem acquisitionis, in laudem gloriae ipsius.
who is the down payment on our inheritance until the release of the possession, to the praise of His glory.
15 Propterea et ego audiens fidem vestram, quae est in Christo Iesu, et dilectionem in omnes sanctos,
Because of this, having heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints,
16 non cesso gratias agens pro vobis, memoriam vestri faciens in orationibus meis:
I really do not stop giving 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 you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the real knowledge of Himself,
18 illuminatos oculos cordis vestri, ut sciatis quae sit spes vocationis eius, et quae divitiae gloriae hereditatis eius in sanctis,
the eyes of your heart having been enlightened, that you may know 1) what is the hope of His[F] calling, and 2) 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 3) what the exceeding greatness of His power into us who are believing, according to the demonstration of the extent of His might
20 quam operatus est in Christo, suscitans illum a mortuis, et constituens ad dexteram suam in caelestibus:
which He exercised in the Christ when He raised Him[S] from among the dead and seated Him at His[F] right, in the heavenly realms,
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 every ruler and authority and power and dominion—even every name that can be named, not only in this age but also in the next. (aiōn g165)
22 Et omnia subiecit sub pedibus eius: et ipsum dedit caput supra omnem Ecclesiam,
In short, He[F] placed everything under His[S] feet, and appointed Him to be Head over everything in the Church,
23 quae est corpus ipsius, et plenitudo eius, qui omnia in omnibus adimpletur.
which is His body, the complement of Him who fills everything in every way.
