049:Book 49

049: Ephesians Book 49

049:Ephesians 001:001
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:

049:001:002
Grace be to you,
and peace,
from God our Father,
and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

049:001:003
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

049:001:004
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:

049:001:005
Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself,
according to the good pleasure of his will,

049:001:006
To the praise of the glory of his grace,
wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.

049:001:007
In whom we have redemption through his blood,
the forgiveness of sins,
according to the riches of his grace;

049:001:008
Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;

049:001:009
Having made known unto us the mystery of his will,
according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:

049:001:010
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:

049:001:011
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:

049:001:012
That we should be to the praise of his glory,
who first trusted in Christ.

049:001:013
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,

049:001:014
Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession,
unto the praise of his glory.

049:001:015
Wherefore I also,
after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus,
and love unto all the saints,

049:001:016
Cease not to give thanks for you,
making mention of you in my prayers;

049:001:017
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:

049:001:018
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,

049:001:019
And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe,
according to the working of his mighty power,

049:001:020
Which he wrought in Christ,
when he raised him from the dead,
and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,

049:001:021
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:

049:001:022
And hath put all things under his feet,
and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,

049:001:023
Which is his body,
the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
