1:1  Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, to the saints who are in Ephesus, · the faithful in Christ Jesus:
1:2  Grace to you and peace from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
1:3  Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,
1:4  even as he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless before him. In love
1:5  he predestined us for adoption as his own sons through Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of his will,
1:6  to the praise of his glorious · grace with which he has highly favored us in the Beloved.
1:7  In him we have received · redemption through · his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the rich benefits of his grace,
1:8  which he lavished on us in all wisdom and insight.
1:9  He has made known to us the mystery of his will, according to · his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ,
1:10  as a plan for the fullness of time, to bring · everything together in · Christ, things in · heaven and things on · earth.
1:11  In Christ · we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who accomplishes · all things according to the counsel of his will,
1:12  so that we, who have already set our hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory. ·
1:13  You also are in him, having heard the word of truth, the good news of your salvation; in him also, when you believed, you were marked with the seal of the promised Holy Spirit, · ·
1:14  which is the guarantee of our inheritance vouching for God’s redemption of his possession, to the praise of his glory.
1:15  For this reason, having heard · about your faith in the Lord Jesus and the love · you extend to all the saints,
1:16  I do not cease giving thanks for you, making mention of you in · my prayers,
1:17  that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation by coming to know more of him.
1:18  I pray that, with the eyes of your heart enlightened, you may comprehend the hope to which he has called you, what are the rich benefits of his glorious · inheritance among the saints,
1:19  and what is the incomparable greatness of his power available for us who believe, according to the exercise of his mighty · strength,
1:20  which he accomplished in · Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms,
1:21  infinitely superior to every ruler, · authority, · power, or dominion—· every name that can be named—not only in · this age but also in the age to come.
1:22  And he placed all things under · Christ’s feet and gave him as head over all things to the church,
1:23  which is · his body, the fullness of the one who fills · all things in every way.
