EPISTLE OF_PAUL THE APOSTLE TO 7H#
EPHESIANS.
pass an apostle of_Jesus Christ thby the will of_God, to_the saints e4which are iat Ephesus, and to_the faithful in Christ Jesus :
2Grace be to_you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
8 Blessed be the God and Father of_ our -Lord Jesus Christ, who s+hath_ blessed us ‘ with eall spiritual -bless- vee in h-=heavenly places in Christ :
According_as He_shath_chosen us in Him before the foundation of_the_ world, that_we 'should_be holy and w without_blame before Him in love:
5 -sHaving_predestinated us unto the padoption_of_children ‘by Jesus Christ to Himself, according_to the good_plea- sure of_His -will,
6To the praise of_the_glory of_His -grace, wherein He _dhath_made us accepted in the “Beloved.
* In whom we-_have -redemption through His -blood, the forgiveness of trsins, according_to the riches of His rgrace ;
8 Wherein He_hath_abounded toward us in -all wisdom and prudence ;
9 «sHaving_made_known unto_us the
-| mystery of_His -will, according_to His ‘ol | "Z00d_pleasure which He_hath_pur-
posed in Himself:
10 That in the dispensation of _the fulness of_-times He_might_'e gather_ together_in_one ~all_things in -Christ, both which_are in ‘i-=heayen, and which_are on rearth; even in Him:
11 In whom also we_have_o obtained_ an_inheritance, «being _ predestinated according_to the purpose of_-Him_ who worketh -all_things after the counsel of_His own -will :
12 That we ~'should_be to the praise of_His -glory, who “first_ho trusted in “Christ.
18 In whom pe also trusted, -safter_ that_ye_heard the word of_-truth, the gospel of_your -salvyation: in whom also h-safter_that_ye_believed, ye_were_ sealed with_that_holy Spirit of_-pro- Inise,
14 Which is the p earnest of_our ~in-
‘|heritance “until the redemption of_
the purchased _ possession, unto the praise of_His glory.
15 Wherefore £ also, -safter_I_heard_ of -your faith in the Lord Jesus, and -love -unto all the saints,
16 Cease not +to_give_thanks for you, making mention of_you in my «prayers:
7 That the God of_our -Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of_-glory, -‘may_give unto_you the Spirit of_wisdom and re- velation in the 7 knowledge of_Him:
“being _ enlightened; that ye -may_
_ know what is the hope of_His | and what the riches of_the glory of_His
rinheritance in the saints.
19 And what is the exceeding great- ness of_His ~power to usward who believe, according_to the ¢ working of_ His «mighty ore
20 Which He-_wrought in Christ, when He -_raised Him /from the =dead, and sset Him at His own right hand in the =heavenly places,
21 Far_above ¢-all Bupeipality, and au power, and might, and ‘dominio and every name +that_is_named, no‘ only in this «-world, but also in =that_ which is_to_come :
2 And hath put =all_things under His -feet, and gave Him fo be the head over =all_things to_the church,
23 Which is His “body, the fulness of_ -sHim_that filleth =all in =all.
2 AND you hath He quickened, biwho_ were dead ‘in +trespasses and ssins ;
2 Wherein in_time_past ye_walked |2. Ch. 6.
according _to the «course of this -world, according_to the prince of_the aupower of_the air, the spirit that now worketh in the schildren of_dis- obedience ;
83 Among whom also Wwe all had_our_ cconversation 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.
4But -God, +who_is rich in merey, ofor His -great love wherewith He_ loved us,
5 aEven when we were dead ‘in t-sins, hath quickened _ us _ together_ with -Christ, (by_grace ye_are “saved ;)
6 And hath raised_ws_up_together, and made_us_sit_together in -=heaven- ly places in Christ Jesus :
7 That in the ages ~to_come He_ emight_shew the -exceeding riches of_
His -grace in His kindness toward us}
‘through Christ Jesus.
8 For by_-grace are_ye “saved through faith ; and ‘that not of yourselves: 7 is the gift of_God: ts
® Not of works, lest any man *should_ boast.
10 For we_are His workmanship, «created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which -God hath before _p or- dained that we_should_walk in them.
11 Wherefore 'remember, that pe being oin_time_past Gentiles in the flesh, -swho are_called Uncireumcision by -1that_ which is_called the Circumci-

2 That at that time ye_~were awith-
id 4—68.}out Christ, “being _aliens from _the commonwealth of_Israél, and stran- | -God.
gers from_the covenants of_-promise, having no hope, and =without_God in the world :
18 But now in Christ Jesus pe who sometimes were far_off ‘are_made nigh by the blood of_-Christ.
14 For He is our ~peace, who ~hath_ made down the middle_wall of_-partition be- tween us ;
15 -sHayving_abolished in His «flesh the enmity, even the law of_-command- ments contained in ordinances ; for_to e*make in Himself of -twain »‘ one new man, so making peace ;
16 And that He_-might_reconcile~both unto_-God in one body yl the cross,
ereby :
17 And «came and 4 preached peace to_you which were afar_off, and to_
_ |them_that were nigh.
18 For through Him we both have -access iby one Spirit unto the Father.
19 Now therefore ye_are no_! more strangers and sforeigners, but fellow- citizens withthe saints, and of_the_ household of_-God ;

FOR this cause € Paul, the prisoner a of ©Jesus /-Christ for you -Gen- tiles,
(@ If ye_-have_heard_of the dispensa- tion of_the grace of_-God which -+is_ given me to you_ward:
3 How_that «by revelation He_made_
1-1: |known unto_me the mystery ; (¢as I_
wrote_afore in -few words,
4 Whereby, +when_ye_read, ye_may understand my -knowledge in the mys- tery of_-Christ)
5 Which in other gages wasnot made_ known unto_the sons of_-men, as it_-is now reyealed unto_His -holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit ;
6 That_the Gentiles 'should_be fellow- heirs, and feof the same_body, anc / partakers of_His -promise in «Christ tby the Gospel:
7 Whereof I_be was_made a minister, according to the gift of_the grace of “God -sgiven unto_me «by the ‘ef- fectual. working of_His ~power.
8 Unto_me, who_am less_than_the_ least of _all -saints, ‘is this -grace given, that_I_should_epreach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of_ «Christ;
* And to_en -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 rall things ¢ by Jesus Christ :

ll According_to the p eternal purpose which He_™ purposed in Christ Jesus our «Lord :
12 In whom we_have raccess i with confidence ‘by the faith of_Him.
13 Wherefore I_desire that_ye_faint | not at my -tribulations for you, which is your glory.)
14 For this cause I_bow my knees) unto the Father of_our «Lord Jesus Christ,
16 Of whom the ewhole famiiy in =heaven and ,« earth is_named, .
16 That He_-would_grant you, accord- ing_to the riches of_His -glory, to_-be_ strengthened with_might? by His -Spirit in the inner man:
7 That «Christ -may_dwell in your chearts ‘by -faith; that ye, “being_ rooted and “grounded in love,
18 -May_be_/able to_*comprehend with all -saints what is the breadth, and rang and depth, and height ;
19 And to_*know the love of_-Christ, eswhich s passeth -knowledge, that ye_
*might_be_filled ‘with all the fulness! .©
of_-God.
2» 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,

4 I THEREFORE, the prisoner ‘of the Lord, beseech you that_ye_walk worthy of_the vocation wherewith ye_ are_called, 2 With all lowliness and meckness, with longsuffering, forbearing one_an- other in love;
