Chapter 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, to the saints in Ephesus, the faithful in Christ Jesus. 2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms in Christ, 4 just as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, for us to be holy and unblemished in his presence, in love, 5 having predestined us for adoption through Jesus Christ to him, according to the good pleasure of his will, 6 to the praise of the glory of his grace, with which he graced us in the beloved, 7 in whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of trespasses, according to the riches of his grace 8 which he caused to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence 9 having made known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in him 10 for a stewardship of the fullness of the appointed times, to recapitulate all things in the Christ, the things in the heavens and the things on the earth; in him, 11 in whom we were also allotted a portion, having been predestined according to the purpose of the one who works all things according to the counsel of his will, 12 for us to be for the praise of his glory, we who first hoped in Christ 13 In whom you also, having heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation—in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Spirit of the promise, the Holy Spirit— 14 who is a deposit of our inheritance, for redemption of the acquisition, for praise of his glory.
