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 1:3

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 1:6

6 to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves.

Ephesians 1:7

7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace

Ephesians 1:8

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

Ephesians 1:9

9 he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ,

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 1:12

12 in order that we, who were the first to put our hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory.

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 1:18

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 1:20

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 1:23

23 which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.

Ephesians 2:2

2 in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient.

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 2:4

4 But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy,

Ephesians 2:6

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

Ephesians 2:7

7 in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.

Ephesians 2:10

10 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

Ephesians 2:11

11 Therefore, remember that formerly you who are Gentiles by birth and called “uncircumcised” by those who call themselves “the circumcision” (which is done in the body by human hands)—

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 2:13

13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

Ephesians 2:15

15 by setting aside in his flesh the law with its commands and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new humanity out of the two, thus making peace,

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 2:18

18 For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.

Ephesians 2:21

21 In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord.

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 3:3

3 that is, the mystery made known to me by revelation, as I have already written briefly.

Ephesians 3:4

4 In reading this, then, you will be able to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ,

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 3:8

8 Although I am less than the least of all the Lord’s people, this grace was given me: to preach to the Gentiles the boundless riches of Christ,

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 3:11

11 according to his eternal purpose that he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Ephesians 3:12

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

Ephesians 3:13

13 I ask you, therefore, not to be discouraged because of my sufferings for you, which are your glory.

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 3:20

20 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us,

Ephesians 3:21

21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.

Ephesians 4:1

1 As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received.

Ephesians 4:2

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

Ephesians 4:3

3 Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.

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 4:14

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 4:15

15 Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ.

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 4:18

18 They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts.

Ephesians 4:19

19 Having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in every kind of impurity, and they are full of greed.

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 4:30

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

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 5:5

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 5:8

8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light

Ephesians 5:9

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

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 5:21

21 Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.

Ephesians 5:24

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

Ephesians 5:26

26 to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word,

Ephesians 6:1

1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.

Ephesians 6:2

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

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 6:9

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 6:16

16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.

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 6:20

20 for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.

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 6:24

24 Grace to all who love our Lord Jesus Christ with an undying love.
