Paul's Letter to the Ephesians, Chapter 1
{1:1} Paul, an emissary of Messiah Yeshua through the will of God,
to the holy ones who are at Ephesus, and the faithful in Messiah
Yeshua: {1:2} Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord
Yeshua the Messiah.
{1:3} Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah,
who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly
places in Messiah; {1:4} even as he chose us in him before the
foundation of the world, that we would be holy and without blemish
before him in love; {1:5} having predestined us for adoption as
children through Yeshua the Messiah to himself, according to the good
pleasure of his desire, {1:6} to the praise of the glory of his grace,
by which he freely bestowed favor on us in the Beloved, {1:7} in whom
we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our
trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, {1:8} which he made
to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence, {1:9} making known to
us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he
purposed in him {1:10} to an administration of the fullness of the
times, to sum up all things in Messiah, the things in the heavens, and
the things on the earth, in him; {1:11} in whom also we were assigned
an inheritance, having been foreordained according to the purpose of
him who works all things after the counsel of his will; {1:12} to the
end that we should be to the praise of his glory, we who had before
hoped in Messiah: {1:13} in whom you also, having heard the word of
the truth, the Good News of your salvation--in whom, having also
believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, {1:14} who
is a pledge of our inheritance, to the redemption of God's own
possession, to the praise of his glory. {1:15} For this cause I also,
having heard of the faith in the Lord Yeshua which is among you, and
the love which you have toward all the holy ones, {1:16} don't cease
to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers, {1:17}
that the God of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, the Father of glory, may
give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him;
{1:18} having the eyes of your [1>]hearts[<1] enlightened, that you
may know what is the hope of his calling, and what are the riches of
the glory of his inheritance in the holy ones, {1:19} and what is the
exceeding greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to
that working of the strength of his might {1:20} which he worked in
Messiah, when he raised him from the dead, and made him to sit at his
right hand in the heavenly places, {1:21} far above all rule, and
authority, and power, and dominion, and every name that is named, not
only in this age, but also in that which is to come. {1:22} He put all
things in subjection under his feet, and gave him to be head over all
things for the assembly, {1:23} which is his body, the fullness of him
who fills all in all.
