Ephesians Ephesians one paul An Apostle of Christ Jesus by

the will of God to the saints who are in

Ephesus and are faithful in Christ Jesus, Grace to you

and peace from God, our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing

in the heavenly places, even as He chose us in

Him before the foundation of the world, that we should

be holy and blameless before Him in love, he predestined

us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, according to

the purpose of his will, to the praise of his

glorious grace with which He has blessed us in the beloved.

In Him, we have redemption through his blood good the

forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,

which he lavished upon us in all wisdom and insight,

making known to us the mystery of his will, according

to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ as

a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all

things in Him, things in heaven and things on earth

in Him. We have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined

according to the purpose of Him who works all things

according to the counsel of his will, so that we,

who were the first to hope in Christ, might be

to the praise of His glory in him. You also,

when you heard the Word of Truth, the Gospel of

your salvation, and believed in Him, were sealed with the

promised Holy Spirit, who is the guarantee of our inheritance

until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of

His glory. For this reason, because as I have heard

of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love

toward all the saints, I do not cease to give

thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers, that the

God of our Lord, Jesus Christ, the Father of Glory,

may give you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation

in the knowledge of Him, having the eyes of your

hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope

to which He has called you, What are the riches

of His glorious inheritance in the saints, And what is

the immeasurable greatness of His power toward us who believe

according to the working of his great might that he

worked in Christ, when he raised him from the dead

and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places.

Far above all rule.

And authority, and power and dominion, and above every name

that is named, not only in this age, but also

in the one to come. And he put all things

under his feet and gave him as head over all

things to the Church, which is his body, the fullness

of Him who fills all in all Ephesians two. And

you were dead in the trespasses and sins in which

you once walked, following the course of this world, following

the prince of the power of the air, the spirit

that is now at work in the sons of disobedience,

among whom we all once lived in the passions of

our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and

the mind, and were by nature children of wrath like

the rest of mankind. But God, being rich in mercy,

because of the great love with which he loved us,

even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us

a lie together with Christ. By grace you have been saved,

and raised us up with him and seated us with

him in the heavenly places, in Christ Jesus, so that

in the coming ages He might show the immeasurable riches

of His grace and kindness toward us in Christ Jesus,

for by grace you have been saved through faith. And

this is not your own doing. It is the gift

of God, not a result of works, so that no

one may boast, For we are His workmanship, created in

Christ Jesus, for good works which God prepared beforehand, that

we should walk in them. Therefore, remember that at one time,

you gentiles in the flesh called the uncircumcision, by what

is called the circumcision, which is made in the flesh

by hands. Remember that you were at that time separated

from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers

to the covenants of having no hope and without.

God in the world.

But now in Christ Jesus, you who once were far off,

had been brought near by the blood of Christ. For

He himself is our peace, who has made us both one,

and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall

of hostility by abolishing the law of commandments expressed in ordinances,

that He might create in himself one new man in

place of the two so making peace and might reconcile

us both to God in one body through the cross,

thereby killing the hostility. And he came and preached peace

to you who were far off, and peace to those

who were near, For through him we both have access

in one spirit to the Father.

So then you.

Are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow

citizens with the saints and members of the household of God.

Built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ

Jesus himself being the cornerstone in whom the whole structure,

being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord.

In him, you also are being built together into a

dwelling place for God by the spirit.

Ephesians three.

For this reason, I Paul, a prisoner for Christ Jesus

on behalf of you gentiles, assuming that you have heard

of the stewardship of God's grace that was given to

me for you, how the mystery was made known to

me by revelation, as I have written briefly. When you

read this, you can perceive my insight into the mystery

of Christ, which was not made known to the sons

of men in other generations, as it has now been

revealed to His Holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit.

This mystery is that the gentiles are fellow heirs, members

of the same body, and partakers of the promise in

Christ Jesus.

Through the Gospel.

Of this Gospel, I was made a minister according to

the gift of God's grace, which was given me by

the working of His power to me, though I am

the very least of all the saints. This grace was

given to preach to the gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,

and to bring to light for everyone. What is the

plan of the mystery hidden for ages in God, who

created all things, so that through the Church, the manifold

wisdom of God might now be made known to the

rulers and authorities in the heavenly places. This was according

to the eternal purpose that He has realized in Christ Jesus,

our Lord, in whom we have boldness and access with

confidence through our faith in Him. So I ask you

not to lose heart over what I am suffering for you,

which is your glory. For this reason I bow my

knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven

and on.

Earth is named, that.

According to the riches of His glory, he may grant

you to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in

your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your

hearts through faith, that you, being rooted and grounded in love,

may have strength to comprehend with all the saints. What

is the breadth and length, and height and depth, And

to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that

you may be filled with all.

The fullness of God. Now to him who is able to.

Do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think.

According to the power at work within us.

To Him be glory in the Church and in Christ Jesus,

throughout all generations, forever and ever.

Amen Ephesians.

For I, therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you

to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to

which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness,

with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to

maintain the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace.

There is one body and one Spirit, just as you

were called to the one hope that belongs to your call.

One Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father

of all who is over all and through all, and

in all, but grace was given to each one of

us according to the measure of Christ's gift.

Therefore, it says, when.

He ascended on high, he led a host of captives,

and he gave gifts to men.

In saying he ascended, what does it mean but that

he had also descended into the lower regions the earth.

He who descended is the one who also ascended far

above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.

And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds,

and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry,

for building up the body of Christ, until we all

attain to the unity of the faith and of the

knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood to

the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ,

so that we may no longer be children tossed to

and fro by the waves, and carried about by every

wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes.

Rather speaking the truth in love, we are to grow

up in every way into Him who is the Head,

into Christ, from whom the whole body joined and held

together by every joint with which it is equipped. When

each part is working properly, makes the body grow so

that it builds itself up in love. Now this I

say and testify in the Lord, that you must no

longer walk as the gentiles do in the futility of

their minds. They are darkened in their understanding, alienated from

the life of God because of the ignorance that is

in them. Due to their hardness of heart, they have

become callous and have given themselves up to sensuality, greedy

to practice every kind of impurity. But that is not

the way you learned Christ, assuming that you have heard

about Him and were taught in Him, as the truth

is in Jesus. To put off your old self, which

belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt

through deceitful desires, and to be renewed in the spirit

of your minds, and to put on the new self,

created after the likeness of God, in true righteousness and holiness. Therefore,

having put away falsehood, let each one of you speak

the truth with his neighbor, for we are members one

of another. Be angry, and do not sin. Do not

let the sun go down on your anger, and give

no opportunity to the Let the thief no longer steal,

but rather let him labor, doing honest work with his

own hands, so that he may have something to share

with anyone in need. Let no corrupting talk come out

of your mouths, but only such as is good for

building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give

grace to those who hear. And do not grieve, the

Holy Spirit of God by whom you were sealed for

the day of redemption.

Let all bitterness and.

Wrath, and anger, and clamor and slander be put away

from you, along with all malice.

Be kind to.

One another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ.

Forgave you Ephesians five.

Therefore, be imitators of God as beloved children, and walk

in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up

for us a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. But

sexual immorality and all impurity or covetousness must not even

be named among you, as is proper among saints.

Let there be no filthiness, nor foolish.

Talk, nor crude joking, which are out of place. But

instead let there be thanksgiving. For you may be sure

of this that everyone who is sexually immoral or impure,

or who is covetous, that is, an idolator, has no

inheritance in the Kingdom of Christ and God. Let no

one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things,

the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. Therefore,

do not become partners with them. For at one time

you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord.

Walk as children of light, for the fruit of light

is found in all that is good and right and true.

And try to discern what is pleasing to the Lord.

Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but

instead expose them. For it is shameful even to speak

of the things that they do in secret. But when

anything is exposed by the light, it becomes visible. For

anything that becomes visible is light. Therefore it says, awake,

o sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will

shine on you. Look carefully, then, how you walk, not

as unwise, but as wise, making the best use of

the time. Because the day are evil.

Therefore, do not.

Be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery.

But be filled with the spirit.

Addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs,

singing and making melody to the Lord with your heart,

giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father,

in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Submitting to

one another out of reverence for Christ. Wives submit to

your own husbands as to the Lord. For the husband

is the head of the wife. Even as Christ is

the head of the Church, his body, and is himself

its savior. Now as the Church submits to Christ, so

also wives should submit in everything to their husbands. Husbands,

love your wives as Christ loved the Church and gave

himself up for her, that he might sank defy her,

having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word,

so that he might present the Church to himself in splendor,

without spot or wrinkle, or any such thing, that she

might be holy and without blemish. In the same way,

husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He

who loves his wife loves himself. For no one ever

hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just

as Christ does the Church, because we are members of

His body.

Therefore, a man shall leave his father and mother and

hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become

one flesh.

This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it

refers to Christ and the Church. However, let each one

of you love his wife as himself, and let the

wife see that she respects her husband.

Ephesians six.

Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.

Honor your father and mother.

This is the first commandment, with a promise.

That it may go well with you, and that you

may live long in the land.

Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring

them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. Slaves,

obey your earthly masters with fear and trembling, with a

sincere heart, as you would Christ, not by the way

of eye service as people pleasers, but as servants of Christ,

doing the will of God from the heart, rendering service

with a good will as to the Lord and not

to man, knowing that whatever good anyone does this, he

will receive back from the.

Lord, whether he is a slave or free.

Masters do the same to them, and stop your threatening,

knowing that he who is both their master and yours

is in heaven, and that there is no partiality with him. Finally,

be strong in the Lord and in the strength of

His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that

you may be able to stand against the schemes of

the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood,

but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic

powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of

evil in the heavenly places.

Therefore, take up the.

Whole armor of God, that you may be able to

withstand in the evil day.

And having done all.

To s stand firm. Stand therefore, having fastened on the

belt of Truth, and having put on the breastplate of

righteousness and that shoes for your feet, having put on

the readiness given by the Gospel of Peace in all circumstances,

take up the shield of faith, with which you can

extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one. And

take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit,

which is the Word of God. Praying at all times

in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication to that end,

keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints,

and also for me, that words may be given to me.

In opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of

the Gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains,

that I may declare it boldly as I ought to speak,

you also may know how I am and what I

am doing. Tichaicus, the beloved brother and faithful minister in

the Lord, will tell you everything. I have sent him

to you for this very purpose, that you may know

how we are, and that he may encourage your hearts.

Peace be to the brothers and love with faith from

God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Grace be

with all who love our Lord Jesus Christ, with love

incorruptible
