Sha'ul�s Letter to the Ephesians, Chapter 1
{1:1} Sha'ul, an apostle 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 shalom 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 sons
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 [1>]eretz[<1], in him; {1:11} in whom also we were made
a heritage, 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 [2>]Ruach HaKodesh[<2] 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 hearts 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 world, 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 to the assembly, {1:23} which is his body, the
fullness of him who fills all in all.
