1. Sha’ul, an emissary of יהושע Messiah by the desire of Elohim, to the set-apart ones who are in Ephesos, and true to Messiah יהושע:
2. Favour to you and peace from Elohim our Father and the Master יהושע Messiah.
3. Blessed be the Elohim and Father of our Master יהושע Messiah, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenlies in Messiah,
4. even as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be set-apart and blameless before Him in love,
5. having previously ordained us to adoption as sons through יהושע Messiah to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His desire,
6. to the praise of the esteem of His favour with which He favoured us in the Beloved,
