Ephesians 1:1

1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, To God’s holy people in Ephesus, the faithful in Christ Jesus:

Ephesians 1:2

2 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Ephesians 1:3

3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ.

Ephesians 1:4

4 For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love

Ephesians 1:8

8 that he lavished on us. With all wisdom and understanding,

Ephesians 1:10

10 to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ.

Ephesians 1:11

11 In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will,

Ephesians 1:13

13 And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit,

Ephesians 1:15

15 For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all God’s people,

Ephesians 1:17

17 I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better.

Ephesians 1:18

18 I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people,

Ephesians 1:19

19 and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength

Ephesians 1:20

20 he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms,

Ephesians 1:21

21 far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come.

Ephesians 1:22

22 And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church,

Ephesians 2:1

1 As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins,

Ephesians 2:3

3 All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath.

Ephesians 2:5

5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved.

Ephesians 2:6

6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,

Ephesians 2:8

8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—

Ephesians 2:12

12 remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world.

Ephesians 2:14

14 For he himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility,

Ephesians 2:16

16 and in one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility.

Ephesians 2:17

17 He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near.

Ephesians 2:19

19 Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household,

Ephesians 2:20

20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone.

Ephesians 2:22

22 And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.

Ephesians 3:5

5 which was not made known to people in other generations as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to God’s holy apostles and prophets.

Ephesians 3:6

6 This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs together with Israel, members together of one body, and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus.

Ephesians 3:9

9 and to make plain to everyone the administration of this mystery, which for ages past was kept hidden in God, who created all things.

Ephesians 3:10

10 His intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms,

Ephesians 3:12

12 In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence.

Ephesians 3:15

15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name.

Ephesians 3:17

17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love,

Ephesians 3:18

18 may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ,

Ephesians 4:2

2 Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.

Ephesians 4:4

4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called;

Ephesians 4:6

6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.

Ephesians 4:8

8 This is why it says: “When he ascended on high, he took many captives and gave gifts to his people.”

Ephesians 4:9

9 (What does “he ascended” mean except that he also descended to the lower, earthly regions ?

Ephesians 4:10

10 He who descended is the very one who ascended higher than all the heavens, in order to fill the whole universe.)

Ephesians 4:11

11 So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers,

Ephesians 4:13

13 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.

Ephesians 4:14

14 Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming.

Ephesians 4:16

16 From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.

Ephesians 4:17

17 So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking.

Ephesians 4:21

21 when you heard about Christ and were taught in him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus.

Ephesians 4:24

24 and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.

Ephesians 4:26

26 “In your anger do not sin” : Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry,

Ephesians 4:30

30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.

Ephesians 4:31

31 Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice.

Ephesians 4:32

32 Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

Ephesians 5:2

2 and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

Ephesians 5:3

3 But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God’s holy people.

Ephesians 5:4

4 Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving.

Ephesians 5:5

5 For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person—such a person is an idolater—has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

Ephesians 5:9

9 (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth)

Ephesians 5:11

11 Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.

Ephesians 5:12

12 It is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret.

Ephesians 5:14

14 This is why it is said: “Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”

Ephesians 5:18

18 Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit,

Ephesians 5:19

19 speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord,

Ephesians 5:20

20 always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Ephesians 5:23

23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior.

Ephesians 5:24

24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.

Ephesians 5:25

25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her

Ephesians 5:27

27 and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.

Ephesians 5:29

29 After all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does the church—

Ephesians 5:30

30 for we are members of his body.

Ephesians 5:31

31 “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.”

Ephesians 5:32

32 This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church.

Ephesians 5:33

33 However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.

Ephesians 6:2

2 “Honor your father and mother”—which is the first commandment with a promise—

Ephesians 6:3

3 “so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.”

Ephesians 6:4

4 Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.

Ephesians 6:5

5 Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ.

Ephesians 6:7

7 Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not people,

Ephesians 6:9

9 And masters, treat your slaves in the same way. Do not threaten them, since you know that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no favoritism with him.

Ephesians 6:10

10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.

Ephesians 6:12

12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

Ephesians 6:13

13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.

Ephesians 6:14

14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place,

Ephesians 6:15

15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.

Ephesians 6:17

17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

Ephesians 6:18

18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.

Ephesians 6:19

19 Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel,

Ephesians 6:21

21 Tychicus, the dear brother and faithful servant in the Lord, will tell you everything, so that you also may know how I am and what I am doing.

Ephesians 6:22

22 I am sending him to you for this very purpose, that you may know how we are, and that he may encourage you.

Ephesians 6:23

23 Peace to the brothers and sisters, and love with faith from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
