1 Paul, the apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, to all saints that been at Ephesus, and to the faithful men in Jesus Christ,
2 Grace be to you and peace of God, our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Blessed be God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, that have blessed us in all spiritual blessings in heavenly things in Christ,
4 as he has chosen us in Him before the creation of the world, that we were holy, and with out sin in his sight, in charity.
5 Who has before ordained us in to adoption of sons by Jesus Christ unto Himself, by the purpose of his will,
6 into the praise of the glory of His grace;
7 in whom he has glorified us with His precious son. In whom we have redemption by his blood, forgiveness of sins, after the richness of his grace,
8 that abounded greatly in us in all wisdom and prudence,
9 to make known to us the sacrament of his will, by the good pleasure of Him; the sacrament he purposed in
10 Himself in the dispensation of plenty of times to restore all things in Christ, which are in Heaven and Earth, in Him.
11 In whom we have been called by sort, before being ordained by His purpose that worships all things by the counsel of His will;
12 that we be in to the praise of His glory, we that had hoped before in Christ.
13 In whom also you were called, when you heard the truthful Word, the gospel of your health, in whom ye believed are marked with the Holy Ghost of promised, which is the earnest of our heritage,
14 into the redemption of purchasing, in to praise of his glory.
15 Therefore and after hearing your faith, that is in Christ Jesus, and the love unto all saints,
16 cease not to give thanks for you, making mind of you in my prayers;
17 that God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, give to you the spirit of wisdom and of revelation, into the knowing of Him;
18 and the iyen of youre herte liytned, that ye wite, which is the hope of his clepyng, and whiche ben the richessis of the glorie of his eritage in seyntis;
19 and whych is the excellent greetnesse of his vertu in to vs that han bileuyd, bi the worchyng of the myyt of his vertu,
20 which he wrouyte in Crist, reisynge hym fro deth, and settynge him on his riyt half in heuenli thingis,
21 above each principal, and potentate, and virtue, and domination, and above each name that is named, not only in this world, but also in the world to come;
22 and made all things subject under His feet, and gave Him to be the head over all the Church,
23 that is His body and His fullness which is all things in all things fulfilled.
