From www.ebible.org with slight reformatting by Martin Ward. Book 49 Ephesians 001:001 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, to the saints who are at Ephesus, and the faithful in Christ Jesus: 001:002 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 001:003 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ; 001:004 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; 001:005 having predestined us for adoption as children through Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his desire, 001:006 to the praise of the glory of his grace, by which he freely bestowed favor on us in the Beloved, 001:007 in whom we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, 001:008 which he made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence, 001:009 making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in him 001:010 to an administration of the fullness of the times, to sum up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens, and the things on the earth, in him; 001:011 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; 001:012 to the end that we should be to the praise of his glory, we who had before hoped in Christ: 001:013 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, 001:014 who is a pledge of our inheritance, to the redemption of God's own possession, to the praise of his glory. 001:015 For this cause I also, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which is among you, and the love which you have toward all the saints, 001:016 don't cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers, 001:017 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him; 001:018 having the eyes of your hearts{TR reads "understanding" instead of "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 saints, 001:019 and what is the exceeding greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to that working of the strength of his might 001:020 which he worked in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and made him to sit at his right hand in the heavenly places, 001:021 far above all rule, and authority, and power, and dominion,
