5 qui praedestinavit nos in adoptionem filiorum
per Iesum Christum in ipsum
secundum propositum voluntatis suae
6 in laudem gloriae gratiae suae
in qua gratificavit nos in dilecto
7 in quo habemus redemptionem per sanguinem eius
remissionem peccatorum
secundum divitias gratiae eius
8 quae superabundavit in nobis
in omni sapientia et prudentia
9 ut notum faceret nobis sacramentum voluntatis suae
secundum bonum placitum eius quod proposuit in eo
10 in dispensationem plenitudinis temporum
instaurare omnia in Christo
quae in caelis et quae in terra sunt in ipso
11 in quo etiam sorte vocati sumus
praedestinati secundum propositum eius
qui omnia operatur secundum consilium
voluntatis suae
12 ut simus in laudem gloriae eius
qui ante speravimus in Christo
13 in quo et vos cum audissetis verbum veritatis evangelium salutis vestrae
in quo et credentes signati estis Spiritu promissionis Sancto
14 qui est pignus hereditatis nostrae
in redemptionem adquisitionis in laudem gloriae ipsius
15 propterea et ego audiens fidem vestram quae est in Domino Iesu
et dilectionem in omnes sanctos
16 non cesso gratias agens pro vobis
memoriam vestri faciens in orationibus meis
17 ut Deus Domini nostri Iesu Christi Pater gloriae
det vobis spiritum sapientiae et revelationis in agnitione eius
18 inluminatos oculos cordis vestri
ut sciatis quae sit spes vocationis eius
quae divitiae gloriae hereditatis eius in sanctis
19 et quae sit supereminens magnitudo virtutis eius
in nos qui credidimus
secundum operationem potentiae virtutis eius
20 quam operatus est in Christo
suscitans illum a mortuis
et constituens ad dexteram suam in caelestibus
21 supra omnem principatum et potestatem
et virtutem et dominationem et omne nomen quod nominatur
non solum in hoc saeculo sed et in futuro
22 et omnia subiecit sub pedibus eius
et ipsum dedit caput supra omnia
ecclesiae
23 quae est corpus ipsius
plenitudo eius qui omnia in omnibus adimpletur
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: 2 Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: 4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: 5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, 6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. 7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; 8 Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; 9 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: 10 That in the dispensation of the fulness 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: 11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: 12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. 13 In whom ye also trusted , after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, 14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
15 Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, 16 Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; 17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: 18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, 19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, 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 , 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: 22 And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, 23 Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
