1PaulG3972, an apostleG652 of ChristG5547 JesusG2424 through the will of GodG2316, to the saintsG40 that areG1510 at EphesusG2181, and the faithfulG4103 in ChristG5547 JesusG2424: 2GraceG5485 to you and peaceG1515 from GodG2316 our FatherG3962 and the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
3BlessedG2127bethe GodG2316 and FatherG3962 of our LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, who hath blessedG2127 us with every spiritualG4152 blessingG2129 in the heavenlyG2032 places in ChristG5547: 4evenG2532 as he chose us in him before the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889, that we should beG1510 holyG40 and without blemish before him in loveG26: 5having foreordained us unto adoptionG5206 as sonsG5206 through JesusG2424 ChristG5547 unto himself, accordingG2596 to the goodG2107 pleasureG2107 of his will, 6to the praiseG1868 of the gloryG1391 of his graceG5485, which he freely bestowed on us in the BelovedG25: 7in whom we have our redemptionG629 through his bloodG129, the forgivenessG859 of our trespassesG3900, accordingG2596 to the richesG4149 of his graceG5485, 8which he made to aboundG4052 toward us in all wisdomG4678 and prudence, 9making known unto us the mysteryG3466 of his will, accordingG2596 to his goodG2107 pleasureG2107 which he purposed in him 10unto a dispensation of the fulness of the timesG2540, to sum up all thingsG3956 in ChristG5547, the thingsG3956 in the heavensG3772, and the thingsG3956 upon the earthG1093; in him, I say, 11in whom alsoG2532 we were made a heritage, having been foreordained accordingG2596 to the purposeG4286 of him who worketh all thingsG3956 after the counselG1012 of his will; 12to the end that we should beG1510 unto the praiseG1868 of his gloryG1391, we who had before hoped in ChristG5547: 13in whom ye alsoG2532, having heardG191 the wordG3056 of the truthG225, the gospelG2098 of your salvationG4991,—in whom, having alsoG2532 believedG4100, ye were sealedG4972 with the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 of promiseG1860, 14which isG1510 an earnest of our inheritanceG2817, unto the redemptionG629 of God’s own possessionG4047, unto the praiseG1868 of his gloryG1391.
15For this cause I alsoG2532, having heardG191 of the faithG4102 in the LordG2962 JesusG2424 which is among you, and the loveG26 which ye show toward all the saintsG40, 16ceaseG3973 not to giveG2168 thanksG2168 for you, makingG4160 mentionG3417 of you in my prayersG4335; 17that the GodG2316 of our LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, the FatherG3962 of gloryG1391, may giveG1325 unto you a spiritG4151 of wisdomG4678 and revelationG602 in the knowledgeG1922 of him; 18having the eyesG3788 of your heartG2588 enlightenedG5461, that ye may know what isG1510 the hopeG1680 of his callingG2821, what the richesG4149 of the gloryG1391 of his inheritanceG2817 in the saintsG40, 19and what the exceeding greatness of his powerG1411 to us-ward who believeG4100, accordingG2596 to that workingG1753 of the strengthG2479 of his might 20which he wrought in ChristG5547, when he raisedG1453 him from the deadG3498, and made him to sitG2523 at his rightG1188 handG1188 in the heavenlyG2032 places, 21far above all ruleG746, and authorityG1849, and powerG1411, and dominion, and every nameG3686 that is namedG3686, not onlyG3440 in this world, but alsoG2532 in that which is to comeG3195: 22and he put all thingsG3956 in subjectionG5293 under his feetG4228, and gaveG1325 him to be headG2776 over all thingsG3956 to the churchG1577, 23which isG1510 his bodyG4983, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
