UKJV - Ephesians - 1

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

1:2  Grace be 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 all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

1:4  According as he has chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: (o. agape)

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

1:6  To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he has made us accepted in the beloved.

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

1:8  Wherein he has abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;

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

1:10  That in the dispensation of the fullness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:

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

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

1:13  In whom all of you also trusted, after that all of you heard the word (o. logos) of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that all of you believed, all of you were sealed with that holy Spirit (o. pneuma) of promise,

1:14  Which is the earn of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.

1:15  Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love (o. agape) unto all the saints,

1:16  Cease not to give 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 unto you the spirit (o. pneuma) of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:

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

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

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

1:21  Far 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:

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

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