1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, To the saints in Ephesus, the faithful in Christ Jesus: | C | TOSK |
2 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. | TOSK |
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms. | C | TOSK |
4 For He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world to be holy and blameless in His presence. In love | TOSK | TT¹ | TT¹ |
5 He predestined us for adoption as His sons through Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of His will, | TOSK |
6 to the praise of His glorious grace, which He has freely given us in the Beloved One. | TOSK |
7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace | IP | TOSK | TT¹ | TT¹ | TT² |
8 that He lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding. | TOSK |
9 And He has made known to us the mystery of His will according to His good pleasure, which He purposed in Christ | TOSK |
10 as a plan for the fullness of time, to bring all things in heaven and on earth together in Christ. | TOSK | TT¹ | TT¹ |
11 In Him we were also chosen as God’s own, having been predestined according to the plan of Him who works out everything by the counsel of His will, | TOSK |
12 in order that we, who were the first to hope in Christ, would be for the praise of His glory. | TOSK |
13 And in Him, having heard and believed the word of truth—the gospel of your salvation—you were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, | TOSK | TT¹ | TT¹ |
14 who is the pledge of our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession, to the praise of His glory. | TOSK |
15 For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, | TOSK |
16 I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers, | TOSK |
17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in your knowledge of Him. | TOSK | TT |
18 I ask that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you may know the hope of His calling, the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints, | TOSK |
19 and the surpassing greatness of His power to us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of His mighty strength, | IP | TOSK | TT¹ | TT² |
20 which He exerted in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly realms, | IP¹ | IP² | IP³ | TOSK | TT¹ | TT² | TT³ | TT⁴ | TT⁵ | TT⁶ | LT |
21 far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. | IP¹ | IP² | TOSK | TT¹ | TT² | TT³ | TT⁴ | TT⁵ | TT⁶ |
22 And God put everything under His feet and made Him head over everything for the church, | IP¹ | IP² | TOSK | TT¹ | TT² | TT³ | TT⁴ |
23 which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all. | TOSK |
