¹Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the  ²will of God, to the  ³saints who are  ⁴in Ephesus and are  ⁵faithful in Christ Jesus:

 ¹Grace to you and  ²peace from  ³God our Father and the  ⁴Lord Jesus Christ.

 ¹Blessed be the  ²God and Father of  ³our Lord Jesus Christ, who has  ⁴blessed us  ⁵with every  ⁶spiritual  ⁷blessing in the  ⁸heavenlies  ⁹in Christ,

Even as He  ¹chose us in Him  ²before the foundation of the world to be  ³holy and  ⁴without blemish  ⁵before Him  ⁶in  ⁷love,

 ¹Predestinating us unto  ²sonship  ³through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the  ⁴good pleasure of His will,

To the  ¹praise of the  ²glory of His grace, with which He  ³graced us in the  ⁴Beloved;

In whom we have  ¹redemption through His blood, the  ²forgiveness of offenses, according to the riches of His grace,

Which He caused to  ¹abound to us in all  ²wisdom and prudence,

 ¹Making known to us the  ²mystery of His will  ³according to His good pleasure, which He  ⁴purposed in Himself,

Unto the  ¹economy of the  ²fullness of the times, to  ³head up all things in  ⁴Christ, the things in the heavens and the things on the earth, in Him;

In whom also we  ¹were designated as an inheritance, having been  ²predestinated according to the  ³purpose of the One who works all things according to the counsel of His  ⁴will,

That we would be to the  ¹praise of His glory who have  ²first hoped in Christ.

In whom you also, having heard the word of the truth, the gospel of your salvation, in Him also believing, you were  ¹sealed with the Holy Spirit of the  ²promise,

Who is the  ¹pledge of our  ²inheritance  ³unto the  ⁴redemption of the  ⁵acquired possession, to the  ⁶praise of His glory.

Therefore I also, having heard of  ¹the faith in the Lord Jesus which is among you and your love to all the saints,

Do not cease giving thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers,

That the  ¹God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the  ²Father of glory, may give to you a  ³spirit of  ⁴wisdom and revelation in the full knowledge of Him,

The  ¹eyes of your heart having been  ²enlightened, that you may know what is the  ³hope of His  ⁴calling,

and what are the  ⁵riches of the glory of His  ⁶inheritance in the saints,

And what is the surpassing greatness of His  ¹power toward us who believe,  ²according to the operation of the might of His strength,

Which He caused to operate in Christ in  ¹raising Him from the dead and  ²seating Him at His  ³right hand in the  ⁴heavenlies,

Far above all  ¹rule and authority and power and lordship and  ²every name that is named not only in this age but also in that which is to come;

And He  ¹subjected all things under His feet and  ²gave Him to be Head over all things  ³to the  ⁴church,

Which is His  ¹Body, the  ²fullness of the One who  ³fills all in all.

 ¹And you, though  ²dead in your  ³offenses and sins,

In which you once walked according to the  ¹age of this world, according to the  ²ruler of the authority of the air, of the  ³spirit which is now operating in the  ⁴sons of disobedience;

Among  ¹whom  ²we also all conducted ourselves once in the  ³lusts of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the thoughts, and were by nature  ⁴children of wrath, even as the rest;

 ¹But God, being rich in  ²mercy, because of His  ³great love with which He loved us,

Even when we were dead in offenses, made us  ¹alive  ²together with  ³Christ (by  ⁴grace you have been  ⁵saved)

And  ¹raised us up  ²together with Him and  ³seated us together with Him in the  ⁴heavenlies  ⁵in Christ Jesus,

That He might  ¹display in the  ²ages to come the surpassing  ³riches of His grace in  ⁴kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

 ¹For by  ²grace you have been saved through  ³faith, and  ⁴this not of yourselves; it is the gift of God;

Not of works that no one should boast.

For we are His  ¹masterpiece,  ²created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared  ³beforehand in order that we would walk in them.

Therefore remember that once you, the Gentiles in the flesh, those who are called  ¹uncircumcision by that which is called circumcision in the flesh made by hands,

That you were at that time  ¹apart from Christ, alienated from the  ²commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the  ³covenants of the promise, having  ⁴no hope and  ⁵without God in the  ⁶world.

 ¹But now in Christ Jesus you who were once  ²far off have become  ³near in the  ⁴blood of Christ.

For He Himself is  ¹our  ²peace, He who has made  ³both one and has broken down the middle  ⁴wall of partition, the  ⁵enmity,

 ¹Abolishing in His  ²flesh the  ³law of the commandments in  ⁴ordinances, that He might  ⁵create the two  ⁶in Himself  ⁷into  ⁸one new man, so  ⁹making peace,

And might reconcile  ¹both in  ²one Body to  ³God through the  ⁴cross, having  ⁵slain the enmity  ⁶by it.

And  ¹coming, He announced peace as the gospel to you who were  ²far off, and peace to those who were  ³near,

For  ¹through Him we both have  ²access  ³in one Spirit unto the  ⁴Father.

So then  ¹you are no longer  ²strangers and sojourners, but you are  ³fellow citizens with the saints and  ⁴members of the household of God,

Being  ¹built upon the  ²foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the  ³cornerstone;

In  ¹whom  ²all the building, being  ³fitted together, is  ⁴growing into a holy  ⁵temple  ⁶in the Lord;

In whom  ¹you  ²also are being built together into a  ³dwelling place of God in  ⁴spirit.

 ¹For this cause I Paul, the  ²prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you, the Gentiles —

 ¹If indeed you have heard of the  ²stewardship of the  ³grace of God which was given to me for you,

That by  ¹revelation the mystery was made known to me, as I have written previously in brief,

By which, in reading it, you can perceive my understanding in the  ¹mystery of Christ,

Which in other generations was  ¹not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed to His holy  ²apostles and prophets in  ³spirit,

That in Christ Jesus the Gentiles are  ¹fellow heirs and  ²fellow members of the Body and  ³fellow partakers of the promise through the gospel,

Of which I became a  ¹minister according to the  ²gift of the grace of God which was given to me according to the operation of His  ³power.

To me,  ¹less than the least of all saints, was this grace given to announce to the Gentiles the  ²unsearchable  ³riches of Christ as the gospel

And to enlighten all that they may see what the  ¹economy of the  ²mystery is, which  ³throughout the ages has been hidden in God, who created all things,

In order that now to the  ¹rulers and the authorities in the heavenlies the multifarious  ²wisdom of God might be made known through the  ³church,

According to the  ¹eternal purpose which He  ²made in  ³Christ Jesus our Lord,

In whom we have boldness and  ¹access in confidence through  ²faith in Him.

Therefore I ask you not to faint at my afflictions for your sake, since they are your glory.

For this cause I bow my knees unto the  ¹Father,

Of whom every  ¹family in the heavens and on earth is  ²named,

 ¹That He would grant you, according to the  ²riches of His glory, to be  ³strengthened with  ⁴power through His  ⁵Spirit  ⁶into the inner man,

That Christ may make His home in your  ¹hearts through  ²faith,

that you, being  ³rooted and grounded in  ⁴love,

May be full of strength to  ¹apprehend with  ²all the saints what the  ³breadth and length and height and depth are

And to know the  ¹knowledge-surpassing love of Christ,

that you may be filled  ²unto all the  ³fullness of  ⁴God.

 ¹But to Him who is able to do superabundantly above all that we  ²ask or think, according to the  ³power which operates in us,

To Him be the  ¹glory in the  ²church  ³and in  ⁴Christ Jesus unto  ⁵all the generations forever and ever. Amen.
