The Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Ephesians

 1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the ^asaints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus:

 2 Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all ^aspiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

 4 According as he hath ^achosen us in him ^bbefore the foundation of the world, that we should be ^choly and without blame before him in love:

 5 Having ^apredestinated us unto the ^badoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,

 6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.

 7 In whom we have ^aredemption through his blood, the ^bforgiveness of sins, according to the ^criches of his ^dgrace;

 8 Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all ^awisdom and ^bprudence;

 9 Having made known unto us the ^amystery of his ^bwill, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:

 10 That in the ^adispensation of the fulness of times he might ^bgather together in one ^call things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:

 11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being ^apredestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:

 12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who ^afirst trusted in Christ.

 13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the ^agospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were ^bsealed with that holy Spirit of ^cpromise,

 14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.

 15 Wherefore I also, after I heard of your ^afaith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints,

 16 Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;

 17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of ^awisdom and ^brevelation in the knowledge of him:

 18 The eyes of your ^aunderstanding being ^benlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the ^criches of the glory of his ^dinheritance in the saints,

 19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his ^apower to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,

 20 Which he wrought in Christ, when he ^araised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the ^bheavenly places,

 21 Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every ^aname that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:

 22 And hath put ^aall things under his ^bfeet, and gave him to be the ^chead over all things to the ^dchurch,

 23 Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
