¹[] Παυλος, αποστολος Ιησου Χριστου δια θεληματος Θεου, προς τους αγιους τους οντας εν Εφεσω και πιστους εν Χριστω Ιησου·

¹Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, to the saints who are at Ephesus, and the faithful in Christ Jesus:

²χαρις ειη υμιν και ειρηνη απο Θεου Πατρος ημων και Κυριου Ιησου Χριστου.

²Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

³[] Ευλογητος ο Θεος και Πατηρ του Κυριου ημων Ιησου Χριστου, ο ευλογησας ημας εν παση ευλογια πνευματικη εις τα επουρανια δια Χριστου,

³Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ;

⁴καθως εξελεξεν ημας δι' αυτου προ καταβολης κοσμου, δια να ημεθα αγιοι και αμωμοι ενωπιον αυτου δια της αγαπης,

⁴even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and without blemish before him in love;

⁵προορισας ημας εις υιοθεσιαν δια Ιησου Χριστου εις εαυτον, κατα την ευδοκιαν του θεληματος αυτου,

⁵having predestined us for adoption as children through Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his desire,

⁶εις επαινον της δοξης της χαριτος αυτου, με την οποιαν εχαριτωσεν ημας δια του ηγαπημενου αυτου,

⁶to the praise of the glory of his grace, by which he freely bestowed favor on us in the Beloved,

⁷δια του οποιου εχομεν την απολυτρωσιν δια του αιματος αυτου, την αφεσιν των αμαρτηματων, κατα τον πλουτον της χαριτος αυτου,

⁷in whom we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,

⁸καθ' ην επερισσευσεν εις ημας εν παση σοφια και φρονησει,

⁸which he made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence,

⁹γνωστοποιησας εις ημας το μυστηριον του θεληματος αυτου κατα την ευδοκιαν αυτου, την οποιαν προεθετο εν εαυτω,

⁹making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in him

¹⁰εις οικονομιαν του πληρωματος των καιρων, να συγκεφαλαιωση τα παντα εν τω Χριστω και τα εν τοις ουρανοις και τα επι της γης.

¹⁰to an administration of the fullness of the times, to sum up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens, and the things on the earth, in him;

¹¹Εν αυτω, εις τον οποιον και ελαβομεν κληρονομιαν, προορισθεντες κατα την προθεσιν του ενεργουντος τα παντα κατα την βουλην του θεληματος αυτου,

¹¹in whom also we were assigned an inheritance, having been foreordained according to the purpose of him who works all things after the counsel of his will;

¹²δια να ημεθα εις επαινον της δοξης αυτου ημεις οι προελπισαντες εις τον Χριστον·

¹²to the end that we should be to the praise of his glory, we who had before hoped in Christ:

¹³εις τον οποιον και σεις ηλπισατε, ακουσαντες τον λογον της αληθειας, το ευαγγελιον της σωτηριας σας, εις τον οποιον και πιστευσαντες εσφραγισθητε με το Πνευμα το Αγιον της επαγγελιας,

¹³in whom you also, having heard the word of the truth, the Good News of your salvation—in whom, having also believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,

¹⁴οστις ειναι ο αρραβων της κληρονομιας ημων, μεχρι της απολυτρωσεως του αποκτηθεντος λαου αυτου, εις επαινον της δοξης αυτου.

¹⁴who is a pledge of our inheritance, to the redemption of God’s own possession, to the praise of his glory.

¹⁵[] Δια τουτο και εγω, ακουσας την εις τον Κυριον Ιησουν πιστιν σας και την εις παντας τους αγιους αγαπην,

¹⁵For this cause I also, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which is among you, and the love which you have toward all the saints,

¹⁶δεν παυομαι ευχαριστων τον Θεον υπερ υμων, μνημονευων υμας εν ταις προσευχαις μου,

¹⁶don’t cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers,

¹⁷δια να σας δωση ο Θεος του Κυριου ημων Ιησου Χριστου, ο Πατηρ της δοξης, πνευμα σοφιας και αποκαλυψεως εις επιγνωσιν αυτου,

¹⁷that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him;

¹⁸ωστε να φωτισθωσιν οι οφθαλμοι του νοος σας, εις το να γνωρισητε ποια ειναι η ελπις της προσκλησεως αυτου, και τις ο πλουτος της δοξης της κληρονομιας αυτου εις τους αγιους,

¹⁸having the eyes of your hearts TR reads “understanding” instead of “hearts” enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of his calling, and what are the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,

¹⁹και τι το υπερβαλλον μεγεθος της δυναμεως αυτου προς ημας τους πιστευοντας κατα την ενεργειαν του κρατους της ισχυος αυτου,

¹⁹and what is the exceeding greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to that working of the strength of his might

²⁰την οποιαν ενηργησεν εν τω Χριστω, αναστησας αυτον εκ νεκρων, και εκαθισεν εκ δεξιων αυτου εν τοις επουρανιοις,

²⁰which he worked in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and made him to sit at his right hand in the heavenly places,

²¹υπερανω πασης αρχης και εξουσιας και δυναμεως και κυριοτητος και παντος ονοματος ονομαζομενου ου μονον εν τω αιωνι τουτω, αλλα και εν τω μελλοντι·

²¹far above all rule, and authority, and power, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age, but also in that which is to come.

²²και παντα υπεταξεν υπο τους ποδας αυτου, και εδωκεν αυτον κεφαλην υπερανω παντων εις την εκκλησιαν,

²²He put all things in subjection under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things for the assembly,

²³ητις ειναι το σωμα αυτου, το πληρωμα του τα παντα εν πασι πληρουντος.

²³which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.
