1. 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:
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 places in Christ:
1. And you has he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
2. Wherein in time past you walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now works in the children of disobedience:
3. 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.
1. For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,
2. If you have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:
3. How that by revelation he made known to me the mystery; (as I wrote before in few words,
1. I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that you walk worthy of the vocation with which you are called,
2. With all lowliness and meekness, with long-suffering, forbearing one another in love;
3. Endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
1. Be you therefore followers of God, as dear children;
2. And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us, and has given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet smelling smell.
3. But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becomes saints;
1. Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.
2. Honor your father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise;
3. That it may be well with you, and you may live long on the earth.
