1:1

Παυλος αποστολος Χριστου Ιησου δια θεληματος Θεου Τοις αγιοις τοις ουσιν εν Εφεσω και πιστοις εν Χριστω Ιησου

Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, to the saints that are at Ephesus, and the faithful in Christ Jesus:

1:2

Χαρις υμιν και ειρηνη απο Θεου Πατρος ημων και Κυριου Ιησου Χριστου

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

1:3

Ευλογητος ο Θεος και Πατηρ του Κυριου ημων Ιησου Χριστου ο ευλογησας ημας εν παση ευλογια πνευματικη εν τοις επουρανιοις εν Χριστω

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ:

1:4

καθως εξελεξατο ημας εν αυτω προ καταβολης κοσμου ειναι ημας αγιους και αμωμους κατενωπιον αυτου εν αγαπη

even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blemish before him in love:

¹

1:5

προορισας ημας εις υιοθεσιαν δια Ιησου Χριστου εις αυτον κατα την ευδοκιαν του θεληματος αυτου

having foreordained us unto adoption as sons through Jesus Christ unto himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,

1:6

εις επαινον δοξης της χαριτος αυτου ης εχαριτωσεν ημας εν τω Ηγαπημενω

to the praise of the glory of his grace, which he freely bestowed on us in the Beloved:

1:7

εν ω εχομεν την απολυτρωσιν δια του αιματος αυτου την αφεσιν των παραπτωματων κατα το πλουτος της χαριτος αυτου

in whom we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,

1:8

ης επερισσευσεν εις ημας εν παση σοφια και φρονησει

which he made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence,

1:9

γνωρισας ημιν το μυστηριον του θεληματος αυτου κατα την ευδοκιαν αυτου ην προεθετο εν αυτω

making known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in him

1:10

εις οικονομιαν του πληρωματος των καιρων ανακεφαλαιωσασθαι τα παντα εν τω Χριστω τα επι τοις ουρανοις και τα επι της γης εν αυτω

unto a dispensation of the fulness of the times, to sum up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens, and the things upon the earth; in him, I say,

1:11

εν ω και εκληρωθημεν προορισθεντες κατα προθεσιν του τα παντα ενεργουντος κατα την βουλην του θεληματος αυτου

in whom also we were made a heritage, having been foreordained according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his will;

1:12

εις το ειναι ημας εις επαινον δοξης αυτου τους προηλπικοτας εν τω Χριστω

to the end that we should be unto the praise of his glory, we who had before hoped in Christ:

1:13

εν ω και υμεις ακουσαντες τον λογον της αληθειας το ευαγγελιον της σωτηριας υμων εν ω και πιστευσαντες εσφραγισθητε τω Πνευματι της επαγγελιας τω Αγιω

in whom ye also, having heard the word of the truth, the gospel of your salvation,—in whom, having also believed, ye were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,

1:14

ο εστιν αρραβων της κληρονομιας ημων εις απολυτρωσιν της περιποιησεως εις επαινον της δοξης αυτου

which is an earnest of our inheritance, unto the redemption of God’s own possession, unto the praise of his glory.

1:15

Δια τουτο καγω ακουσας την καθ υμας πιστιν εν τω Κυριω Ιησου και την αγαπην την εις παντας τους αγιους

For this cause I also, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which is among you, and the love which ye show toward all the saints,

1:16

ου παυομαι ευχαριστων υπερ υμων μνειαν ποιουμενος επι των προσευχων μου

cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;

1:17

ινα ο Θεος του Κυριου ημων Ιησου Χριστου ο Πατηρ της δοξης δωη υμιν πνευμα σοφιας και αποκαλυψεως εν επιγνωσει αυτου

that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him;

1:18

πεφωτισμενους τους οφθαλμους της καρδιας υμων εις το ειδεναι υμας τις εστιν η ελπις της κλησεως αυτου τις ο πλουτος της δοξης της κληρονομιας αυτου εν τοις αγιοις

having the eyes of your heart enlightened, that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,

1:19

και τι το υπερβαλλον μεγεθος της δυναμεως αυτου εις ημας τους πιστευοντας κατα την ενεργειαν του κρατους της ισχυος αυτου

and what the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to that working of the strength of his might

1:20

ην ενηργηκεν εν τω Χριστω εγειρας αυτον εκ νεκρων και καθισας εν δεξια αυτου εν τοις επουρανιοις

which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and made him to sit at his right hand in the heavenly places,

1:21

υπερανω πασης αρχης και εξουσιας και δυναμεως και κυριοτητος και παντος ονοματος ονομαζομενου ου μονον εν τω αιωνι τουτω αλλα και εν τω μελλοντι

far above all rule, and authority, and power, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:

1:22

και παντα υπεταξεν υπο τους ποδας αυτου και αυτον εδωκεν κεφαλην υπερ παντα τη εκκλησια

and he put all things in subjection under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things to the church,

1:23

ητις εστιν το σωμα αυτου το πληρωμα του τα παντα εν πασιν πληρουμενου

which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
