1Ephesians 1

1Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints who are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus:Select Ephesians 1:1

2Grace [be] to you, and peace from God our Father, and [from] the Lord Jesus Christ.Select Ephesians 1:2

3Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly [places] in Christ:Select Ephesians 1:3

4According as he hath chosen us in him, before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:Select Ephesians 1:4

5Having predestinated us to the adoption of children to himself by Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of his will,Select Ephesians 1:5

6To the praise of the glory of his grace, in which he hath made us accepted in the beloved:Select Ephesians 1:6

7In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;Select Ephesians 1:7

8In which he hath abounded towards us in all wisdom and prudence;Select Ephesians 1:8

9Having made known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:Select Ephesians 1:9

10That in the dispensation of the fullness of times he might collect in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; [even] in him:Select Ephesians 1:10

11In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:Select Ephesians 1:11

12That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.Select Ephesians 1:12

13In whom ye also [trusted], after ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,Select Ephesians 1:13

14Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of his glory.Select Ephesians 1:14

15Wherefore I also, having heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love to all the saints,Select Ephesians 1:15

16Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;Select Ephesians 1:16

17That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:Select Ephesians 1:17

18The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,Select Ephesians 1:18

19And what [is] the exceeding greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,Select Ephesians 1:19

20Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set [him] at his own right hand in the heavenly [places],Select Ephesians 1:20

21Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:Select Ephesians 1:21

22And put all [things] under his feet, and gave him [to be] the head over all [things] to the church,Select Ephesians 1:22

23Which is his body, the fullness of him that filleth all in all.Select Ephesians 1:23
