{Ephesians 1:1} Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the
saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus: {Ephesians 1:2}
Grace [be] to you, and peace, from God our Father, and [from] the Lord
Jesus Christ.

{Ephesians 1:3} Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who
hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly [places] in
Christ: {Ephesians 1:4} According as he hath chosen us in him before the
foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame
before him in love: {Ephesians 1:5} Having predestinated us unto the adoption of
children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of
his will, {Ephesians 1:6} To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he
hath made us accepted in the beloved. {Ephesians 1:7} In whom we have redemption
through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of
his grace; {Ephesians 1:8} Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and
prudence; {Ephesians 1:9} Having made known unto us the mystery of his will,
according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:
{Ephesians 1:10} That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather
together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and
which are on earth; [even] in him: {Ephesians 1:11} In whom also we have obtained
an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who
worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: {Ephesians 1:12} That we
should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
{Ephesians 1:13} In whom ye also [trusted,] after that ye heard the word of
truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye
believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, {Ephesians 1:14} Which
is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased
possession, unto the praise of his glory.

{Ephesians 1:15} Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord
Jesus, and love unto all the saints, {Ephesians 1:16} Cease not to give thanks
for you, making mention of you in my prayers; {Ephesians 1:17} That the God of
our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the
spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: {Ephesians 1:18} The
eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is
the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his
inheritance in the saints, {Ephesians 1:19} And what [is] the exceeding greatness
of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his
mighty power, {Ephesians 1:20} Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him
from the dead, and set [him] at his own right hand in the heavenly
[places, ]{Ephesians 1:21} Far above all principality, and power, and might, and
dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but
also in that which is to come:

{Ephesians 1:22} And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,

{Ephesians 1:23} Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all
in all.

{Ephesians 2:1} And you [hath he quickened,] who were dead in trespasses and
sins; {Ephesians 2:2} Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of
this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit
that now worketh in the children of disobedience: {Ephesians 2:3} Among whom also
we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh,
fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature
the children of wrath, even as others. {Ephesians 2:4} But God, who is rich in
mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, {Ephesians 2:5} Even when we
were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye
are saved;) {Ephesians 2:6} And hath raised [us] up together, and made [us] sit
together in heavenly [places] in Christ Jesus: {Ephesians 2:7} That in the ages
to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in [his]
kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. {Ephesians 2:8} For by grace are ye
saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of
God: {Ephesians 2:9} Not of works, lest any man should boast. {Ephesians 2:10} For we are
his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God
hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

{Ephesians 2:11} Wherefore remember, that ye [being] in time past Gentiles in
the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the
Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;

{Ephesians 2:12} That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:

{Ephesians 2:13} But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were
far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. {Ephesians 2:14} For he is our
peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of
partition [between us; ]{Ephesians 2:15} Having abolished in his flesh the
enmity, [even] the law of commandments [contained] in ordinances; for
to make in himself of twain one new man, [so] making peace; {Ephesians 2:16} And
that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having
slain the enmity thereby:

{Ephesians 2:17} And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.

{Ephesians 2:18} For through him
we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. {Ephesians 2:19} Now therefore
ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the
saints, and of the household of God;

{Ephesians 2:20} And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;

{Ephesians 2:21} In whom all the building fitly framed
together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: {Ephesians 2:22} In whom ye
also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

{Ephesians 3:1} For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you
Gentiles, {Ephesians 3:2} If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of
God which is given me to youward: {Ephesians 3:3} How that by revelation he made
known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words, {Ephesians 3:4}
Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of
Christ) {Ephesians 3:5} Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of
men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the
Spirit; {Ephesians 3:6} That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same
body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel: {Ephesians 3:7}
Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of
God given unto me by the effectual working of his power. {Ephesians 3:8} Unto me,
who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I
should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;

{Ephesians 3:9} And to make all [men] see what [is] the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:

{Ephesians 3:10} To the intent that now
unto the principalities and powers in heavenly [places] might be known
by the church the manifold wisdom of God, {Ephesians 3:11} According to the
eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord: {Ephesians 3:12} In
whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.
{Ephesians 3:13} Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you,
which is your glory. {Ephesians 3:14} For this cause I bow my knees unto the
Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, {Ephesians 3:15} Of whom the whole family in
heaven and earth is named, {Ephesians 3:16} That he would grant you, according to
the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in
the inner man; {Ephesians 3:17} That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith;
that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, {Ephesians 3:18} May be able to
comprehend with all saints what [is] the breadth, and length, and
depth, and height; {Ephesians 3:19} And to know the love of Christ, which passeth
knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

{Ephesians 3:20} Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,

{Ephesians 3:21} Unto him [be] glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all
ages, world without end. Amen.

{Ephesians 4:1} I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye
walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, {Ephesians 4:2} With all
lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in
love; {Ephesians 4:3} Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of
peace. {Ephesians 4:4} [There is] one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called
in one hope of your calling;

{Ephesians 4:5} One Lord, one faith, one baptism,

{Ephesians 4:6} One God and Father of all, who [is] above all, and through all,
and in you all. {Ephesians 4:7} But unto every one of us is given grace according
to the measure of the gift of Christ.

{Ephesians 4:8} Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.

{Ephesians 4:9} (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended
first into the lower parts of the earth? {Ephesians 4:10} He that descended is
the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might
fill all things.) {Ephesians 4:11} And he gave some, apostles; and some,
prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; {Ephesians 4:12}
For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the
edifying of the body of Christ: {Ephesians 4:13} Till we all come in the unity of
the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man,
unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: {Ephesians 4:14} That
we [henceforth] be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried
about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, [and] cunning
craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; {Ephesians 4:15} But speaking
the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the
head, [even] Christ: {Ephesians 4:16} From whom the whole body fitly joined
together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according
to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase
of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.

{Ephesians 4:17} This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye
henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their
mind, {Ephesians 4:18} Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from
the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the
blindness of their heart: {Ephesians 4:19} Who being past feeling have given
themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with
greediness. {Ephesians 4:20} But ye have not so learned Christ; {Ephesians 4:21} If so be
that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in
Jesus: {Ephesians 4:22} That ye put off concerning the former conversation the
old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; {Ephesians 4:23} And
be renewed in the spirit of your mind; {Ephesians 4:24} And that ye put on the
new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

{Ephesians 4:25} Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.

{Ephesians 4:26} Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:

{Ephesians 4:27} Neither give
place to the devil. {Ephesians 4:28} Let him that stole steal no more: but rather
let him labour, working with [his] hands the thing which is good, that
he may have to give to him that needeth. {Ephesians 4:29} Let no corrupt
communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the
use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. {Ephesians 4:30}
And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the
day of redemption. {Ephesians 4:31} Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and
clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
{Ephesians 4:32} And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one
another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

{Ephesians 5:1} Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; {Ephesians 5:2} And
walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for
us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour. {Ephesians 5:3}
But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be
once named among you, as becometh saints;

{Ephesians 5:4} Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.

{Ephesians 5:5} For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

{Ephesians 5:6} Let no man
deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the
wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. {Ephesians 5:7} Be not ye
therefore partakers with them. {Ephesians 5:8} For ye were sometimes darkness,
but now [are ye] light in the Lord: walk as children of light: {Ephesians 5:9}
(For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and
truth;) {Ephesians 5:10} Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. {Ephesians 5:11} And
have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather
reprove [them. ]{Ephesians 5:12} For it is a shame even to speak of those things
which are done of them in secret. {Ephesians 5:13} But all things that are
reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make
manifest is light.

{Ephesians 5:14} Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.

{Ephesians 5:15} See then that ye walk circumspectly , not as fools, but as wise,

{Ephesians 5:16}
Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. {Ephesians 5:17} Wherefore be ye
not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord [is. ]{Ephesians 5:18}
And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the
Spirit; {Ephesians 5:19} Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual
songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; {Ephesians 5:20}
Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name
of our Lord Jesus Christ; {Ephesians 5:21} Submitting yourselves one to another
in the fear of God. {Ephesians 5:22} Wives, submit yourselves unto your own
husbands, as unto the Lord. {Ephesians 5:23} For the husband is the head of the
wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour
of the body. {Ephesians 5:24} Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so
[let] the wives [be] to their own husbands in every thing. {Ephesians 5:25}
Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and
gave himself for it; {Ephesians 5:26} That he might sanctify and cleanse it with
the washing of water by the word, {Ephesians 5:27} That he might present it to
himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such
thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. {Ephesians 5:28} So ought
men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife
loveth himself. {Ephesians 5:29} For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but
nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: {Ephesians 5:30} For
we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.

{Ephesians 5:31} For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.

{Ephesians 5:32} This is a great
mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. {Ephesians 5:33}
Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even
as himself; and the wife [see] that she reverence [her] husband.

{Ephesians 6:1}Ephesians 6:1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.

{Ephesians 6:2}Ephesians 6:2 Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;)

{Ephesians 6:3}Ephesians 6:3 That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.

{Ephesians 6:4} And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

{Ephesians 6:5} Servants, be obedient to them that are [your] masters
according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your
heart, as unto Christ; {Ephesians 6:6} Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but
as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart; {Ephesians 6:7}
With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men: {Ephesians 6:8}
Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he
receive of the Lord, whether [he be] bond or free. {Ephesians 6:9} And, ye
masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing
that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons
with him.

{Ephesians 6:10} Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power
of his might. {Ephesians 6:11} Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be
able to stand against the wiles of the devil. {Ephesians 6:12} For we wrestle not
against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers,
against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual
wickedness in high [places. ]{Ephesians 6:13} Wherefore take unto you the whole
armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and
having done all, to stand.

{Ephesians 6:14} Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
{Ephesians 6:14} Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

{Ephesians 6:15} And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

{Ephesians 6:16} Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be
able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

{Ephesians 6:17} And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

{Ephesians 6:18} Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the
Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication
for all saints; {Ephesians 6:19} And for me, that utterance may be given unto me,
that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the
gospel, {Ephesians 6:20} For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I
may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

{Ephesians 6:21} But that ye also may know my affairs, [and] how I do,
Tychicus, a beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, shall
make known to you all things: {Ephesians 6:22} Whom I have sent unto you for the
same purpose, that ye might know our affairs, and [that] he might
comfort your hearts.

{Ephesians 6:23} Peace [be] to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the
Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. {Ephesians 6:24} Grace [be] with all them that
love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen.
