Epheser 1

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

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

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

4As he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and unspotted in his sight in charity.

5Who hath predestinated us unto the adoption of children through Jesus Christ unto himself: according to the purpose of his will:

6Unto the praise of the glory of his grace, in which he hath graced us in his beloved son.

7In whom we have redemption through his blood, the remission of sins, according to the riches of his grace,

8Which hath superabounded in us in all wisdom and prudence,

9That he might make known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure, which he hath purposed in him,

10In the dispensation of the fulness of times, to re-establish all things in Christ, that are in heaven and on earth, in him.

11In whom we also are called by lot, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things according to the counsel of his will.

12That we may be unto the praise of his glory, we who before hoped Christ:

13In whom you also, after you had heard the word of truth, (the gospel of your salvation;) in whom also believing, you were signed with the holy Spirit of promise,

14Who is the pledge of our inheritance, unto the redemption of acquisition, unto the praise of his glory.

15Wherefore I also, hearing of your faith that is in the Lord Jesus, and of your love towards all the saints,

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

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

18The eyes of your heart enlightened, that you may know what the hope is of the glory of his inheritance in the saints.

19And what is the exceeding greatness of his power towards us, who believe according to the operation of the might of his power,

20Which he wrought in Christ, raising him up from the dead, and setting him on his right hand in the heavenly places.

21Above all principality, and power, and virtue, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come.

22And he hath subjected all things under his feet, and hath made him head over all the church,

23Which is his body, and the fulness of him who is filled all in all.

1Paulus Apostolus Jesu Christi per voluntatem Dei, omnibus sanctis qui sunt Ephesi, et fidelibus in Christo Jesu.

2Gratia vobis, et pax a Deo Patre nostro, et Domino Jesu Christo.

3Benedictus Deus et Pater Domini nostri Jesu Christi, qui benedixit nos in omni benedictione spirituali in cælestibus in Christo,

4sicut elegit nos in ipso ante mundi constitutionem, ut essemus sancti et immaculati in conspectu ejus in caritate.

5Qui prædestinavit nos in adoptionem filiorum per Jesum Christum in ipsum: secundum propositum voluntatis suæ,

6in laudem gloriæ gratiæ suæ, in qua gratificavit nos in dilecto Filio suo.

7In quo habemus redemptionem per sanguinem ejus, remissionem peccatorum secundum divitias gratiæ ejus,

8quæ superabundavit in nobis in omni sapientia et prudentia:

9ut notum faceret nobis sacramentum voluntatis suæ, secundum beneplacitum ejus, quod proposuit in eo,

10in dispensatione plenitudinis temporum, instaurare omnia in Christo, quæ in cælis et quæ in terra sunt, in ipso;

11in quo etiam et nos sorte vocati sumus prædestinati secundum propositum ejus qui operatur omnia secundum consilium voluntatis suæ:

12ut simus in laudem gloriæ ejus nos, qui ante speravimus in Christo;

13in quo et vos, cum audissetis verbum veritatis, Evangelium salutis vestræ, in quo et credentes signati estis Spiritu promissionis Sancto,

14qui est pignus hæreditatis nostræ, in redemptionem acquisitionis, in laudem gloriæ ipsius.

15Propterea et ego audiens fidem vestram, quæ est in Domino Jesu, et dilectionem in omnes sanctos,

16non cesso gratias agens pro vobis, memoriam vestri faciens in orationibus meis:

17ut Deus Domini nostri Jesu Christi, Pater gloriæ, det vobis spiritum sapientiæ et revelationis in agnitione ejus,

18illuminatos oculos cordis vestri, ut sciatis quæ sit spes vocationis ejus, et quæ divitiæ gloriæ hæreditatis ejus in sanctis,

19et quæ sit supereminens magnitudo virtutis ejus in nos, qui credimus secundum operationem potentiæ virtutis ejus,

20quam operatus est in Christo, suscitans illum a mortuis, et constituens ad dexteram suam in cælestibus:

21supra omnem principatum, et potestatem, et virtutem, et dominationem, et omne nomen, quod nominatur non solum in hoc sæculo, sed etiam in futuro.

22Et omnia subjecit sub pedibus ejus: et ipsum dedit caput supra omnem ecclesiam,

23quæ est corpus ipsius, et plenitudo ejus, qui omnia in omnibus adimpletur.

1Paul, an Apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, to all the saints who are at Ephesus and to the faithful in Christ Jesus.

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

3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavens, in Christ,

4just as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, so that we would be holy and immaculate in his sight, in charity.

5He has predestined us to adoption as sons, through Jesus Christ, in himself, according to the purpose of his will,

6for the praise of the glory of his grace, with which he has gifted us in his beloved Son.

7In him, we have redemption through his blood: the remission of sins in accord with the riches of his grace,

8which is superabundant in us, with all wisdom and prudence.

9So does he make known to us the mystery of his will, which he has set forth in Christ, in a manner well-pleasing to him,

10in the dispensation of the fullness of time, so as to renew in Christ everything that exists through him in heaven and on earth.

11In him, we too are called to our portion, having been predestined in accord with the plan of the One who accomplishes all things by the counsel of his will.

12So may we be, to the praise of his glory, we who have hoped beforehand in Christ.

13In him, you also, after you heard and believed the Word of truth, which is the Gospel of your salvation, were sealed with the Holy Spirit of the Promise.

14He is the pledge of our inheritance, unto the acquisition of redemption, to the praise of his glory.

15Because of this, and hearing of your faith that is in the Lord Jesus, and of your love toward all the saints,

16I have not ceased giving thanks for you, calling you to mind in my prayers,

17so that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give a spirit of wisdom and of revelation to you, in knowledge of him.

18May the eyes of your heart be illuminated, so that you may know what is the hope of his calling, and the wealth of the glory of his inheritance with the saints,

19and the preeminent magnitude of his virtue toward us, toward we who believe in accord with the work of his powerful virtue,

20which he wrought in Christ, raising him from the dead and establishing him at his right hand in the heavens,

21above every principality and power and virtue and dominion, and above every name that is given, not only in this age, but even in the future age.

22And he has subjected all things under his feet, and he has made him the head over the entire Church,

23which is his body and which is the fullness of him who accomplishes everything in everyone.
