1. Paul, apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints who are at Ephesus and to the faithful in Christ Jesus:
2. Grace be to you and peace from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
3. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly things in Christ;
4. according as he has chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blemish before him in charity;
5. having marked out beforehand the way for us to be adopted as sons by Jesus Christ in himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
6. to the praise of the glory of his grace, in which he has made us accepted in the beloved;
7. in whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins according to the riches of his grace,
8. which has over abounded in us in all wisdom and prudence;
9. having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he has purposed in himself,
10. that in the dispensation of the fulfillment of the times he might restore all things by the Christ, both those which are in heaven and those which are on earth,
