Sha'ul's Letter to the Ephesians, Chapter 1

   {1:1} Sha'ul, an apostle of Messiah Yeshua through the will of God,
   to the holy ones who are at Ephesus, and the faithful in Messiah
 Yeshua: {1:2} Grace to you and shalom from God our Father and the Lord
 Yeshua the Messiah.

   {1:3} Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah,
 who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly
 places in Messiah; {1:4} even as he chose us in him before the
 foundation of the world, that we would be holy and without blemish
 before him in love; {1:5} having predestined us for adoption as
 children through Yeshua the Messiah to himself, according to the good
 pleasure of his desire, {1:6} to the praise of the glory of his grace,
 by which he freely bestowed favor on us in the Beloved, {1:7} in whom
 we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our
 trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, {1:8} which he made
 to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence, {1:9} making known to
 us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he
 purposed in him {1:10} to an administration of the fullness of the
 times, to sum up all things in Messiah, the things in the heavens, and
 the things on the [1>]eretz[<1], in him; {1:11} in 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;
 {1:12} to the end that we should be to the praise of his glory, we who
 had before hoped in Messiah: {1:13} in 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 [2>]Ruach HaKodesh[<2] of
 promise, {1:14} who is a pledge of our inheritance, to the redemption
 of God's own possession, to the praise of his glory. {1:15} For this
 cause I also, having heard of the faith in the Lord Yeshua which is
 among you, and the love which you have toward all the holy ones,
 {1:16} don't cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my
 prayers, {1:17} that the God of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, the
 Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in
 the knowledge of him; {1:18} having the eyes of your 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 holy ones,
 {1:19} and what is the exceeding greatness of his power toward us who
 believe, according to that working of the strength of his might {1:20}
 which he worked in Messiah, when he raised him from the dead, and made
 him to sit at his right hand in the heavenly places, {1:21} 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} He put all things in subjection under his feet, and gave him to
 be head over all things for the assembly, {1:23} which is his body,
 the fullness of him who fills all in all.
