³Blessed^G2128 be the God^G2316 and^G2532 Father^G3962 of our^G2257 Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547, who^G3588 hath blessed^G2127 us^G2248 with^G1722 all^G3956 spiritual^G4152 blessings^G2129 in^G1722 heavenly^G2032 places in^G1722 Christ^G5547: ⁴According as^G2531 he hath chosen^G1586 us^G2248 in^G1722 him^G0846 before^G4253 the foundation^G2602 of the world^G2889, that we^G2248 should be^G1511 holy^G0040 and^G2532 without blame^G0299 before^G2714 him^G0846 in^G1722 love^G0026: ⁵Having predestinated^G4309 us^G2248 unto^G1519 the adoption of children^G5206 by^G1223 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547 to^G1519 himself^G0846, according^G2596 to the good pleasure^G2107 of his^G0846 will^G2307, ⁶To^G1519 the praise^G1868 of the glory^G1391 of his^G0846 grace^G5485, wherein^G3739 he hath made^G5487 us^G2248 accepted^G5487 in^G1722 the beloved^G0025. ⁷In^G1722 whom^G3739 we have^G2192 redemption^G0629 through^G1223 his^G0846 blood^G0129, the forgiveness^G0859 of sins^G3900, according^G2596 to the riches^G4149 of his^G0846 grace^G5485; ⁸Wherein^G3739 he hath abounded^G4052 toward^G1519 us^G2248 in^G1722 all^G3956 wisdom^G4678 and^G2532 prudence^G5428; ⁹Having made known^G1107 unto us^G2254 the mystery^G3466 of his^G0846 will^G2307, according to^G2596 his^G0846 good pleasure^G2107 which^G3739 he hath purposed^G4388 in^G1722 himself^G0846: ¹⁰That in^G1519 the dispensation^G3622 of the fulness^G4138 of times^G2540 he might gather together in one^G0346 all things^G3956 in^G1722 Christ^G5547, both^G5037 which are^G3588 in^G1722 heaven^G3772, and^G2532 which are^G3588 on^G1909 earth^G1093; even in him: ¹¹In^G1722 whom^G3739 also^G2532 we have obtained an inheritance^G2820, being predestinated^G4309 according to^G2596 the purpose^G4286 of him who^G3588 worketh^G1754 all things^G3956 after^G2596 the counsel^G1012 of his own^G0846 will^G2307: ¹²That^G3588 we^G2248 should be^G1511 to^G1519 the praise^G1868 of his^G0846 glory^G1391, who^G3588 first trusted^G4276 in^G1722 Christ^G5547. ¹³In^G1722 whom^G3739 ye^G5210 also^G2532 trusted , after that ye heard^G0191 the word^G3056 of truth^G0225, the gospel^G2098 of your^G5216 salvation^G4991: in^G1722 whom^G3739 also^G2532 after that ye believed^G4100, ye were sealed^G4972 with that^G3588 holy^G0040 Spirit^G4151 of promise^G1860, ¹⁴Which^G3739 is^G2076 the earnest^G0728 of our^G2257 inheritance^G2817 until^G1519 the redemption^G0629 of the purchased possession^G4047, unto^G1519 the praise^G1868 of his^G0846 glory^G1391.

¹⁵Wherefore^G1223 I also^G2504, after I heard^G0191 of^G2596 your^G5209 faith^G4102 in^G1722 the Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424, and^G2532 love^G0026 unto^G1519 all^G3956 the saints^G0040, ¹⁶Cease^G3973 not^G3756 to give thanks^G2168 for^G5228 you^G5216, making^G4160 mention^G3417 of you^G5216 in^G1909 my^G3450 prayers^G4335; ¹⁷That^G2443 the God^G2316 of our^G2257 Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547, the Father^G3962 of glory^G1391, may give^G1325 unto you^G5213 the spirit^G4151 of wisdom^G4678 and^G2532 revelation^G0602 in^G1722 the knowledge^G1922 of him^G0846: ¹⁸The eyes^G3788 of your^G5216 understanding^G1271 being enlightened^G5461; that^G3588 ye^G5209 may know^G1492 what^G5101 is^G2076 the hope^G1680 of his^G0846 calling^G2821, and^G2532 what^G5101 the riches^G4149 of the glory^G1391 of his^G0846 inheritance^G2817 in^G1722 the saints^G0040, ¹⁹And^G2532 what^G5101 is the exceeding^G5235 greatness^G3174 of his^G0846 power^G1411 to^G1519 us-ward^G2248 who^G3588 believe^G4100, according to^G2596 the working^G1753 of his^G0846 mighty^G2479 power^G2904, ²⁰Which^G3739 he wrought^G1754 in^G1722 Christ^G5547, when he raised^G1453 him^G0846 from^G1537 the dead^G3498, and^G2532 set^G2523 him at^G1722 his own^G0846 right hand^G1188 in^G1722 the heavenly^G2032 places , ²¹Far above^G5231 all^G3956 principality^G0746, and^G2532 power^G1849, and^G2532 might^G1411, and^G2532 dominion^G2963, and^G2532 every^G3956 name^G3686 that is named^G3687, not^G3756 only^G3440 in^G1722 this^G5129 world^G0165, but^G0235 also^G2532 in^G1722 that which is^G3588 to come^G3195: ²²And^G2532 hath put^G5293 all^G3956 things under^G5259 his^G0846 feet^G4228, and^G2532 gave^G1325 him^G0846 to be the head^G2776 over^G5228 all^G3956 things to the church^G1577, ²³Which^G3748 is^G2076 his^G0846 body^G4983, the fulness^G4138 of him that^G3588 filleth^G4137 all^G3956 in^G1722 all^G3956.

¹And^G2532 you^G5209 hath he quickened , who were^G5607 dead^G3498 in trespasses^G3900 and^G2532 sins^G0266; ²Wherein^G3739 in^G1722 time past^G4218 ye walked^G4043 according to^G2596 the course^G0165 of this^G5127 world^G2889, according to^G2596 the prince^G0758 of the power^G1849 of the air^G0109, the spirit^G4151 that^G3588 now^G3568 worketh^G1754 in^G1722 the children^G5207 of disobedience^G0543: ³Among^G1722 whom^G3739 also^G2532 we^G2249 all^G3956 had our conversation^G0390 in times past^G4218 in^G1722 the lusts^G1939 of our^G2257 flesh^G4561, fulfilling^G4160 the desires^G2307 of the flesh^G4561 and^G2532 of the mind^G1271; and^G2532 were^G1510 by nature^G5449 the children^G5043 of wrath^G3709, even^G2532 as^G5613 others^G3062. ⁴But^G1161 God^G2316, who is^G5607 rich^G4145 in^G1722 mercy^G1656, for^G1223 his^G0846 great^G4183 love^G0026 wherewith^G3739 he loved^G0025 us^G2248, ⁵Even^G2532 when^G5607 we^G2248 were^G5607 dead^G3498 in sins^G3900, hath quickened us together with^G4806 Christ^G5547, (by grace^G5485 ye are^G2075 saved^G4982;) ⁶And^G2532 hath raised^G4891 us up together^G4891, and^G2532 made^G4776 us sit together^G4776 in^G1722 heavenly^G2032 places in^G1722 Christ^G5547 Jesus^G2424: ⁷That^G2443 in^G1722 the ages^G0165 to come^G1904 he might shew^G1731 the exceeding^G5235 riches^G4149 of his^G0846 grace^G5485 in^G1722 his kindness^G5544 toward^G1909 us^G2248 through^G1722 Christ^G5547 Jesus^G2424. ⁸For^G1063 by grace^G5485 are^G2075 ye saved^G4982 through^G1223 faith^G4102; and^G2532 that^G5124 not^G3756 of^G1537 yourselves^G5216: it is the gift^G1435 of God^G2316: ⁹Not^G3756 of^G1537 works^G2041, lest^G3361 any man^G5100 should boast^G2744. ¹⁰For^G1063 we are^G2070 his^G0846 workmanship^G4161, created^G2936 in^G1722 Christ^G5547 Jesus^G2424 unto^G1909 good^G0018 works^G2041, which^G3739 God^G2316 hath before ordained^G4282 that^G2443 we should walk^G4043 in^G1722 them^G0846.

¹¹Wherefore^G1352 remember^G3421, that^G3754 ye^G5210 being in time past^G4218 Gentiles^G1484 in^G1722 the flesh^G4561, who are^G3588 called^G3004 Uncircumcision^G0203 by^G5259 that which is^G3588 called^G3004 the Circumcision^G4061 in^G1722 the flesh^G4561 made by hands^G5499; ¹²That^G3754 at^G1722 that^G1565 time^G2540 ye were^G2258 without^G5565 Christ^G5547, being aliens^G0526 from the commonwealth^G4174 of Israel^G2474, and^G2532 strangers^G3581 from the covenants^G1242 of promise^G1860, having^G2192 no^G3361 hope^G1680, and^G2532 without God^G0112 in^G1722 the world^G2889: ¹³But^G1161 now^G3570 in^G1722 Christ^G5547 Jesus^G2424 ye^G5210 who^G3588 sometimes^G4218 were^G5607 far off^G3112 are made^G1096 nigh^G1451 by^G1722 the blood^G0129 of Christ^G5547. ¹⁴For^G1063 he^G0846 is^G2076 our^G2257 peace^G1515, who^G3588 hath made^G4160 both^G0297 one^G1520, and^G2532 hath broken down^G3089 the middle wall^G3320 of partition^G5418 between us ; ¹⁵Having abolished^G2673 in^G1722 his^G0846 flesh^G4561 the enmity^G2189, even the law^G3551 of commandments^G1785 contained in^G1722 ordinances^G1378; for^G1519 to^G2443 make^G2936 in^G1722 himself^G1438 of twain^G1417 one^G1520 new^G2537 man^G0444, so making^G4160 peace^G1515; ¹⁶And^G2532 that he^G0846 might reconcile^G0604 both^G0297 unto God^G2316 in^G1722 one^G1520 body^G4983 by^G1223 the cross^G4716, having slain^G0615 the enmity^G2189 thereby^G1722: ¹⁷And^G2532 came^G2064 and preached^G2097 peace^G1515 to you^G5213 which were^G3588 afar off^G3112, and^G2532 to them that were^G3588 nigh^G1451. ¹⁸For^G3754 through^G1223 him^G0846 we^G2192 both^G0297 have^G2192 access^G4318 by^G1722 one^G1520 Spirit^G4151 unto^G4314 the Father^G3962. ¹⁹Now^G3767 therefore^G0686 ye are^G2075 no more^G3765 strangers^G3581 and^G2532 foreigners^G3941, but^G0235 fellowcitizens^G4847 with the saints^G0040, and^G2532 of the household^G3609 of God^G2316; ²⁰And are built^G2026 upon^G1909 the foundation^G2310 of the apostles^G0652 and^G2532 prophets^G4396, Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547 himself^G0846 being^G5607 the chief corner^G0204 stone ; ²¹In^G1722 whom^G3739 all^G3956 the building^G3619 fitly framed together^G4883 groweth^G0837 unto^G1519 an holy^G0040 temple^G3485 in^G1722 the Lord^G2962: ²²In^G1722 whom^G3739 ye^G5210 also^G2532 are builded together^G4925 for^G1519 an habitation^G2732 of God^G2316 through^G1722 the Spirit^G4151.

¹I^G1473 therefore^G3767, the prisoner^G1198 of^G1722 the Lord^G2962, beseech^G3870 you^G5209 that ye walk^G4043 worthy^G0516 of the vocation^G2821 wherewith^G3739 ye are called^G2564, ²With^G3326 all^G3956 lowliness^G5012 and^G2532 meekness^G4236, with^G3326 longsuffering^G3115, forbearing^G0430 one another^G0240 in^G1722 love^G0026; ³Endeavouring^G4704 to keep^G5083 the unity^G1775 of the Spirit^G4151 in^G1722 the bond^G4886 of peace^G1515. ⁴ There is one^G1520 body^G4983, and^G2532 one^G1520 Spirit^G4151, even^G2532 as^G2531 ye are called^G2564 in^G1722 one^G1520 hope^G1680 of your^G5216 calling^G2821; ⁵One^G1520 Lord^G2962, one^G1520 faith^G4102, one^G1520 baptism^G0908, ⁶One^G1520 God^G2316 and^G2532 Father^G3962 of all^G3956, who^G3588 is above^G1909 all^G3956, and^G2532 through^G1223 all^G3956, and^G2532 in^G1722 you^G5213 all^G3956. ⁷But^G1161 unto every^G1538 one^G1520 of us^G2257 is given^G1325 grace^G5485 according to^G2596 the measure^G3358 of the gift^G1431 of Christ^G5547. ⁸Wherefore^G1352 he saith^G3004, When he ascended^G0305 up^G1519 on high^G5311, he led^G0162 captivity^G0161 captive^G0162, and^G2532 gave^G1325 gifts^G1390 unto men^G0444. ⁹(Now^G1161 that^G3588 he ascended^G0305, what^G5101 is it^G2076 but^G3361 that^G3754 he^G2597 also^G2532 descended^G2597 first^G4412 into^G1519 the lower^G2737 parts^G3313 of the earth^G1093? ¹⁰He that^G3588 descended^G2597 is^G2076 the same^G0846 also^G2532 that^G3588 ascended up^G0305 far above^G5231 all^G3956 heavens^G3772, that^G2443 he might fill^G4137 all things^G3956.) ¹¹And^G2532 he^G0846 gave^G1325 some^G3588, apostles^G0652; and^G1161 some^G3588, prophets^G4396; and^G1161 some^G3588, evangelists^G2099; and^G1161 some^G3588, pastors^G4166 and^G2532 teachers^G1320; ¹²For^G4314 the perfecting^G2677 of the saints^G0040, for^G1519 the work^G2041 of the ministry^G1248, for^G1519 the edifying^G3619 of the body^G4983 of Christ^G5547: ¹³Till^G3360 we^G2658 all^G3956 come^G2658 in^G1519 the unity^G1775 of the faith^G4102, and^G2532 of the knowledge^G1922 of the Son^G5207 of God^G2316, unto^G1519 a perfect^G5046 man^G0435, unto^G1519 the measure^G3358 of the stature^G2244 of the fulness^G4138 of Christ^G5547: ¹⁴That^G2443 we^G5600 henceforth be^G5600 no more^G3371 children^G3516, tossed to and fro^G2831, and^G2532 carried about^G4064 with every^G3956 wind^G0417 of doctrine^G1319, by^G1722 the sleight^G2940 of men^G0444, and cunning craftiness^G3834, whereby^G4314 they^G3588 lie in wait^G3180 to deceive^G4106; ¹⁵But^G1161 speaking the truth^G0226 in^G1722 love^G0026, may grow up^G0837 into^G1519 him^G0846 in all things^G3956, which^G3739 is^G2076 the head^G2776, even Christ^G5547: ¹⁶From^G1537 whom^G3739 the whole^G3956 body^G4983 fitly joined together^G4883 and^G2532 compacted^G4822 by^G1223 that which^G3588 every^G3956 joint^G0860 supplieth^G2024, according to^G2596 the effectual working^G1753 in^G1722 the measure^G3358 of every^G1538 part^G3313, maketh^G4160 increase^G0838 of the body^G4983 unto^G1519 the edifying^G3619 of itself^G1438 in^G1722 love^G0026.

¹⁰Finally^G3063, my^G3450 brethren^G0080, be strong^G1743 in^G1722 the Lord^G2962, and^G2532 in^G1722 the power^G2904 of his^G0846 might^G2479. ¹¹Put on^G1746 the whole armour^G3833 of God^G2316, that^G3588 ye^G5209 may be able^G1410 to stand^G2476 against^G4314 the wiles^G3180 of the devil^G1228. ¹²For^G3754 we^G2254 wrestle^G3823 not^G3756 against^G4314 flesh^G4561 and^G2532 blood^G0129, but^G0235 against^G4314 principalities^G0746, against^G4314 powers^G1849, agains^G4314t the rulers^G2888 of the darkness^G4655 of this^G5127 world^G0165, against^G4314 spiritual^G4152 wickedness^G4189 in^G1722 high^G2032 places . ¹³Wherefore^G1223 take unto you^G0353 the whole armour^G3833 of God^G2316, that^G2443 ye may be able^G1410 to withstand^G0436 in^G1722 the evil^G4190 day^G2250, and^G2532 having done^G2716 all^G0537, to stand^G2476. ¹⁴Stand^G2476 therefore^G3767, having^G4024 your^G5216 loins^G3751 girt about^G4024 with^G1722 truth^G0225, and^G2532 having on^G1746 the breastplate^G2382 of righteousness^G1343; ¹⁵And^G2532 your feet^G4228 shod^G5265 with^G1722 the preparation^G2091 of the gospel^G2098 of peace^G1515; ¹⁶Above^G1909 all^G3956, taking^G0353 the shield^G2375 of faith^G4102, wherewith^G1722 ye shall be able^G1410 to quench^G4570 all^G3956 the fiery^G4448 darts^G0956 of the wicked^G4190. ¹⁷And^G2532 take^G1209 the helmet^G4030 of salvation^G4992, and^G2532 the sword^G3162 of the Spirit^G4151, which^G3739 is^G2076 the word^G4487 of God^G2316: ¹⁸Praying^G4336 always^G2540 with^G1223 all^G3956 prayer^G4335 and^G2532 supplication^G1162 in^G1722 the Spirit^G4151, and^G2532 watching^G0069 thereunto^G5124 with^G1722 all^G3956 perseverance^G4343 and^G2532 supplication^G1162 for^G4012 all^G3956 saints^G0040; ¹⁹And^G2532 for^G5228 me^G1700, that^G2443 utterance^G3056 may be given^G1325 unto^G1722 me^G3427, that I may open^G0457 my^G3450 mouth^G4750 boldly^G3954, to make known^G1107 the mystery^G3466 of the gospel^G2098, ²⁰For^G5228 which^G3739 I am an ambassador^G4243 in^G1722 bonds^G0254: that^G2443 therein^G1722 I may speak boldly^G3955, as^G5613 I^G3165 ought^G1163 to speak^G2980.

²¹But^G1161 that^G2443 ye^G5210 also^G2532 may know^G1492 my^G1691 affairs^G3588, and how^G5101 I do^G4238, Tychicus^G5190, a beloved^G0027 brother^G0080 and^G2532 faithful^G4103 minister^G1249 in^G1722 the Lord^G2962, shall make known^G1107 to you^G5213 all things^G3956: ²²Whom^G3739 I have sent^G3992 unto^G4314 you^G5209 for^G1519 the same purpose^G5124, that^G2443 ye might know^G1097 our^G2257 affairs^G4012, and^G2532 that he might comfort^G3870 your^G5216 hearts^G2588.

²³Peace^G1515 be to the brethren^G0080, and^G2532 love^G0026 with^G3326 faith^G4102, from^G0575 God^G2316 the Father^G3962 and^G2532 the Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547. ²⁴Grace^G5485 be with^G3326 all^G3956 them that^G3588 love^G0025 our^G2257 Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547 in^G1722 sincerity^G0861. Amen.
