ISA-11:9 ...for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD,

as the waters cover the sea.

Copyright (c) 1985-2007

01:01 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to

the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ

Jesus:

01:02 Grace [be] to you, and peace, from God our Father, and

[from] the Lord Jesus Christ.

01:03 Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly

[places] in Christ:

01:04 According as he hath chosen us in him before the

foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without

blame before him in love:

01:05 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by

Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his

will,

01:06 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath

made us accepted in the beloved.

01:07 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the

forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;

01:08 Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and

prudence;

01:09 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will,

according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:

01:10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might

gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in

heaven, and which are on earth; [even] in him:

01:11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being

predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all

things after the counsel of his own will:

01:12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first

trusted in Christ.

01:13 In whom ye also [trusted], after that ye heard the word

of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that

ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

01:14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the

redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his

glory.

01:15 Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord

Jesus, and love unto all the saints,

01:16 Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you

in my prayers;

01:17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of

glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in

the knowledge of him:

01:18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye

may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of

the glory of his inheritance in the saints,

01:19 And what [is] the exceeding greatness of his power to us-

ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,

01:20 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the

dead, and set [him] at his own right hand in the heavenly

[places],

01:21 Far above all principality, and power, and might, and

dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world,

but also in that which is to come:

01:22 And hath put all [things] under his feet, and gave him

[to be] the head over all [things] to the church,

01:23 Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in

all.

02:01 And you [hath he quickened], who were dead in trespasses

and sins:

02:02 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of

this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the

spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

02:03 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past

in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh

and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even

as others.

02:04 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love

wherewith he loved us,

02:05 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us

together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)

02:06 And hath raised [us] up together, and made [us] sit

together in heavenly [places] in Christ Jesus:

02:07 That in the ages to come he might show the exceeding

riches of his grace in [his] kindness toward us through Christ

Jesus.

02:08 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of

yourselves: [it is] the gift of God:

02:09 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

02:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto

good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk

in them.

02:11 Wherefore remember, that ye [being] in time past Gentiles

in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is

called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;

02:12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens

from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the

covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the

world:

02:13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are

made nigh by the blood of Christ.

02:14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath

broken down the middle wall of partition [between us];

02:15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, [even] the law

of commandments [contained] in ordinances; for to make in

himself of twain one new man, [so] making peace;

02:16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by

the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:

02:17 And came and preached peace to you which were afar off,

and to them that were nigh.

02:18 For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto

the Father.

02:19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners,

but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;

02:20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and

prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner [stone];

02:21 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth

unto an holy temple in the Lord:

02:22 In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of

God through the Spirit.

03:01 For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for

you Gentiles,

03:02 If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God

which is given me to you-ward:

03:03 How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery;

(as I wrote afore in few words,

03:04 Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in

the mystery of Christ)

03:05 Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of

men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets

by the Spirit;

03:06 That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same

body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:

03:07 Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of

the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his

power.

03:08 Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is

this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the

unsearchable riches of Christ;

03:09 And to make all [men] see what [is] the fellowship of the

mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in

God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:

03:10 To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers

in heavenly [places] might be known by the church the manifold

wisdom of God,

03:11 According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in

Christ Jesus our Lord:

03:12 In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by

the faith of him.

03:13 Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations

for you, which is your glory.

03:14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord

Jesus Christ,

03:15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,

03:16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his

glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner

man;

03:17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye,

being rooted and grounded in love,

03:18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what [is] the

breadth, and length, and depth, and height;

03:19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge,

that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

03:20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly

above all that we ask or think, according to the power that

worketh in us,

03:21 Unto him [be] glory in the church by Christ Jesus

throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

04:01 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that

ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,

04:02 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering,

forbearing one another in love;

04:03 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond

of peace.

04:04 [There is] one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are

called in one hope of your calling;

04:05 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,

04:06 One God and Father of all, who [is] above all, and

through all, and in you all.

04:07 But unto every one of us is given grace according to the

measure of the gift of Christ.

04:08 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led

captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.

04:09 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also

descended first into the lower parts of the earth?

04:10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far

above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)

04:11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some,

evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;

04:12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the

ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:

04:13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the

knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the

measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:

04:14 That we [henceforth] be no more children, tossed to and

fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the

sleight of men, [and] cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in

wait to deceive;

04:15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in

all things, which is the head, [even] Christ:

04:16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and

compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the

effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase

of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.

04:17 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye

henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of

their mind,

04:18 Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from

the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because

of the blindness of their heart:

04:19 Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto

lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.

04:20 But ye have not so learned Christ;

04:21 If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by

him, as the truth is in Jesus:

04:22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the

old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;

04:23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;

04:24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is

created in righteousness and true holiness.

04:25 Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with

his neighbour: for we are members one of another.

04:26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon

your wrath:

04:27 Neither give place to the devil.

04:28 Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him

labour, working with [his] hands the thing which is good, that

he may have to give to him that needeth.

04:29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth,

but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may

minister grace unto the hearers.

04:30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are

sealed unto the day of redemption.

04:31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour,

and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:

04:32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving

one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

05:01 Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;

05:02 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath

given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a

sweetsmelling savour.

05:03 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness,

let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;

05:04 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting,

which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.

05:05 For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person,

nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in

the kingdom of Christ and of God.

05:06 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of

these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of

disobedience.

05:07 Be not ye therefore partakers with them.

05:08 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now [are ye] light in

the Lord: walk as children of light:

05:09 (For the fruit of the Spirit [is] in all goodness and

righteousness and truth;)

05:10 Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.

05:11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of

darkness, but rather reprove [them].

05:12 For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are

done of them in secret.

05:13 But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the

light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.

05:14 Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise

from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.

05:15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as

wise,

05:16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

05:17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the

will of the Lord [is].

05:18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be

filled with the Spirit;

05:19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual

songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;

05:20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the

Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;

05:21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.

05:22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto

the Lord.

05:23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ

is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.

05:24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so [let]

the wives [be] to their own husbands in every thing.

05:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the

church, and gave himself for it;

05:26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of

water by the word,

05:27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church,

not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it

should be holy and without blemish.

05:28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He

that loveth his wife loveth himself.

05:29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth

and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:

05:30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his

bones.

05:31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother,

and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one

flesh.

05:32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ

and the church.

05:33 Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love

his wife even as himself; and the wife [see] that she reverence

[her] husband.

06:01 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is

right.

06:02 Honour thy father and mother; which is the first

commandment with promise;

06:03 That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long

on the earth.

06:04 And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but

bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

06:05 Servants, be obedient to them that are [your] masters

according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness

of your heart, as unto Christ;

06:06 Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants

of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;

06:07 With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to

men:

06:08 Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the

same shall he receive of the Lord, whether [he be] bond or free.

06:09 And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing

threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither

is there respect of persons with him.

06:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the

power of his might.

06:11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to

stand against the wiles of the devil.

06:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against

principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the

darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high

[places].

06:13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye

may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all,

to stand.

06:14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth,

and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

06:15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of

peace;

06:16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall

be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

06:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the

Spirit, which is the word of God:

06:18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the

Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and

supplication for all saints;

06:19 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I

may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the

gospel,

06:20 For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may

speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

06:21 But that ye also may know my affairs, [and] how I do,

Tychicus, a beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord,

shall make known to you all things:

06:22 Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that ye

might know our affairs, and [that] he might comfort your hearts.

06:23 Peace [be] to the brethren, and love with faith, from God

the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

06:24 Grace [be] with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ

in sincerity. Amen.
