1:5Who hath predestinate vs, to be adopted through Iesus Christ in him selfe, according to the good pleasure of his will,
1:6To the prayse of the glory of his grace, wherewith he hath made vs freely accepted in his beloued,
1:7By whom we haue redemption through his blood, euen the forgiuenes of sinnes, according to his rich grace:
1:8Whereby he hath bene aboundant toward vs in all wisedome and vnderstanding,
1:9And hath opened vnto vs the mysterie of his will according to his good pleasure, which he had purposed in him,
1:10That in the dispensation of the fulnesse of the times, he might gather together in one all things, both which are in heauen, and which are in earth, euen in Christ:
1:11In whom also we are chosen when we were predestinate according to ye purpose of him, which worketh all things after the counsell of his owne will,
1:12That we, which first trusted in Christ, should be vnto the praise of his glorie:
1:13In whom also ye haue trusted, after that ye heard the worde of trueth, euen the Gospel of your saluation, wherein also after that ye beleeued, ye were sealed with the holy Spirite of promise,
1:14Which is the earnest of our inheritance, for the redemption of that libertie purchased vnto the prayse of his glory.

1:1Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints who are in Ephesus, and faithful in Christ Jesus:
1:2Grace be to you and peace from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
1:3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,
1:4just 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,
1:5having predestined us to adoption as children by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will,
1:6to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He has made us accepted in the Beloved.
1:7In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace
1:8which He made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence,
1:9having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He has purposed in Himself,
1:10that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth, even in Him.
1:11In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His own will,
1:12that we who first trusted in Christ should be to the praise of His glory.
1:13In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, after you believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,
1:14who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.
1:15Therefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints,
1:16do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers:
1:17that 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,
1:18the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,
1:19and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power
1:20which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His own right hand in the heavenly places,
1:21far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.
1:22And has put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be the head over all things to the church,
1:23which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.
