apostle of ,jesus ,christ by the will of ,god1 to the saints which are at ,ephesus1 and to the faithful in ,christ ,jesus3 #di3jja3jjb ,grace be to you1 and peace1 from ,god our ,father1 and from the ,lord ,jesus ,christ4 #di3jja3jjc ,blessed be the ,god and ,father of our ,lord ,jesus ,christ1 who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in ,christ3 #di3jja3jjd ,according as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world1 that we should be holy and without blame before him in love3 #di3jja3jje ,having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by ,jesus ,christ to himself1 according to the good pleasure of his will1 #di3jja3jjf ,to the praise of the glory of his grace1 wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved4 #di3jja3jjg ,in whom we have redemption through his blood1 the forgiveness of sins1 according to the riches of his grace2 #di3jja3jjh ,wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence2 #di3jja3jji ,having made known unto us the mystery of his will1 according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself3 #di3jja3jaj ,that in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in ,christ1 both which are in heaven1 and which are on earth2 even in him3 #di3jja3jaa ,in whom also we have obtained an inheritance1 being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will3 #di3jja3jab ,that we should be to the praise of his glory1 who first trusted in ,christ4 #di3jja3jac ,in whom ye also trusted1 after that ye heard the word of truth1 the gospel of your salvation3 in whom also after that ye believed1 ye were sealed with that holy ,spirit of promise1 #di3jja3jad ,which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession1 unto the praise of his glory4 #di3jja3jae ,wherefore ,i also1 after ,i heard of your faith in the ,lord ,jesus1 and love unto all the saints1 #di3jja3jaf ,cease not to give thanks for you1 making mention of you in my prayers2 #di3jja3jag ,that the ,god of our ,lord ,jesus ,christ1 the ,father of glory1 may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him3 #di3jja3jah ,the eyes of your understanding being enlightened2 that ye may know what is the hope of his calling1 and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints1 #di3jja3jai ,and what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe1 according to the working of his mighty power1 #di3jja3jbj ,which he wrought in ,christ1 when he raised him from the dead1 and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places1 #di3jja3jba ,far above all principality1 and power1 and might1 and dominion1 and every name that is named1 not only in this world1 but also in that which is to come3 #di3jja3jbb ,and hath put all things under his feet1 and gave him to be the head over all things to the church1 #di3jja3jbc ,which is his body1 the fulness of him that filleth all in all4 #di3jjb3jja ,and you hath he quickened1 who were dead in trespasses and sins2 #di3jjb3jjb ,wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world1 according to the prince of the power of the air1 the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience3 #di3jjb3jjc ,among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh1 fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind2 and were by nature the children of wrath1 even as others4 #di3jjb3jjd ,but ,god1 who is rich in mercy1 for his great love wherewith he loved us1 #di3jjb3jje ,even when we were dead in sins1 hath quickened us together with ,christ1 7by grace ye are saved27 #di3jjb3jjf ,and hath raised us up together1 and made us sit together in heavenly places in ,christ ,jesus3 #di3jjb3jjg ,that in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through ,christ ,jesus4 #di3jjb3jjh ,for by grace are ye saved through faith2 and that not of yourselves3 it is the gift of ,god3 #di3jjb3jji ,not of works1 lest any man should boast4 #di3jjb3jaj ,for we are his workmanship1 created in ,christ ,jesus unto good works1 which ,god hath before ordained that we should walk in them4 #di3jjb3jaa ,wherefore remember1 that ye being in time past ,gentiles in the flesh1 who are called ,uncircumcision by that which is called the ,circumcision in the flesh made by hands2 #di3jjb3jab ,that at that time ye were without ,christ1 being aliens from the commonwealth of ,israel1 and strangers from the covenants of promise1 having no hope1 and without ,god in the world3 #di3jjb3jac ,but now in ,christ ,jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of ,christ4 #di3jjb3jad ,for he is our peace1 who hath made both one1 and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us2 #di3jjb3jae ,having abolished in his flesh the enmity1 even the law of commandments contained in ordinances2 for to make in himself of twain one new man1 so making peace2 #di3jjb3jaf ,and that he might reconcile both unto ,god in one body by the cross1 having slain the enmity thereby3 #di3jjb3jag ,and came and preached peace to you which were afar off1 and to them that were nigh4 #di3jjb3jah ,for through him we both have access by one ,spirit unto the ,father4 #di3jjb3jai ,now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners1 but fellowcitizens with the saints1 and of the household of ,god2 #di3jjb3jbj ,and are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets1 ,jesus ,christ himself being the chief corner stone2 #di3jjb3jba ,in whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the ,lord3 #di3jjb3jbb ,in whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of ,god through the ,spirit4 #di3jjc3jja ,for this cause ,i ,paul1 the prisoner of ,jesus ,christ for you ,gentiles1 #di3jjc3jjb ,if ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of ,god which is given me to you-ward3 #di3jjc3jjc ,how that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery2 7as ,i wrote afore in few words1 #di3jjc3jjd ,whereby1 when ye read1 ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of ,christ7 #di3jjc3jje ,which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men1 as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the ,spirit2 #di3jjc3jjf ,that the ,gentiles should be fellowheirs1 and of the same body1 and partakers of his promise in ,christ by the gospel3 #di3jjc3jjg ,whereof ,i was made a minister1 according to the gift of the grace of ,god given unto me by the effectual working of his power4 #di3jjc3jjh ,unto me1 who am less than the least of all saints1 is this grace given1 that ,i should preach among the ,gentiles the unsearchable riches of ,christ2 #di3jjc3jji ,and to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery1 which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in ,god1 who created all things by ,jesus ,christ3 #di3jjc3jaj ,to the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of ,god1 #di3jjc3jaa ,according to the eternal purpose which he purposed in ,christ ,jesus our ,lord3 #di3jjc3jab ,in whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him4 #di3jjc3jac ,wherefore ,i desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you1 which is your glory4 #di3jjc3jad ,for this cause ,i bow my knees unto the ,father of our ,lord ,jesus ,christ1 #di3jjc3jae ,of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named1 #di3jjc3jaf ,that he would grant you1 according to the riches of his glory1 to be strengthened with might by his ,spirit in the inner man2 #di3jjc3jag ,that ,christ may dwell in your hearts by faith2 that ye1 being rooted and grounded in love1 #di3jjc3jah ,may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth1 and length1 and depth1 and height2 #di3jjc3jai ,and to know the love of ,christ1 which passeth knowledge1 that ye might be filled with all the fulness of ,god4 #di3jjc3jbj ,now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think1 according to the power that worketh in us1 #di3jjc3jba ,unto him be glory in the church by ,christ ,jesus throughout all ages1 world without end4 ,amen4 #di3jjd3jja ,i therefore1 the prisoner of the ,lord1 beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called1 #di3jjd3jjb ,with all lowliness and meekness1 with longsuffering1 forbearing one another in love2 #di3jjd3jjc ,endeavouring to keep the unity of the ,spirit in the bond of peace4 #di3jjd3jjd ,there is one body1 and one ,spirit1 even as ye are called in one hope of your calling2 #di3jjd3jje ,one ,lord1 one faith1 one baptism1 #di3jjd3jjf ,one ,god and ,father of all1 who is above all1 and through all1 and in you all4 #di3jjd3jjg ,but unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of ,christ4 #di3jjd3jjh ,wherefore he saith1 ,when he ascended up on high1 he led captivity captive1 and gave gifts unto men4 #di3jjd3jji 7,now that he ascended1 what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth8 #di3jjd3jaj ,he that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens1 that he might fill all things47 #di3jjd3jaa ,and he gave some1 apostles2 and some1 prophets2 and some1 evangelists2 and some1 pastors and teachers2 #di3jjd3jab ,for the perfecting of the saints1 for the work of the ministry1 for the edifying of the body of ,christ3 #di3jjd3jac ,till we all come in the unity of the faith1 and of the knowledge of the ,son of ,god1 unto a perfect man1 unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of ,christ3 #di3jjd3jad ,that we henceforth be no more children1 tossed to and fro1 and carried about with every wind of doctrine1 by the sleight of men1 and cunning craftiness1 whereby they lie in wait to deceive2 #di3jjd3jae ,but speaking the truth in love1 may grow up into him in all things1 which is the head1 even ,christ3 #di3jjd3jaf ,from whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth1 according to the effectual working in the measure of every part1 maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love4 #di3jjd3jag ,this ,i say therefore1 and testify in the ,lord1 that ye henceforth walk not as other ,gentiles walk1 in the vanity of their mind1 #di3jjd3jah ,having the understanding darkened1 being alienated from the life of ,god through the ignorance that is in them1 because of the blindness of their heart3 #di3jjd3jai ,who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness1 to work all uncleanness with greediness4 #di3jjd3jbj ,but ye have not so learned ,christ2 #di3jjd3jba ,if so be that ye have heard him1 and have been taught by him1 as the truth is in ,jesus3 #di3jjd3jbb ,that ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man1 which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts2 #di3jjd3jbc ,and be renewed in the spirit of your mind2 #di3jjd3jbd ,and that ye put on the new man1 which after ,god is created in righteousness and true holiness4 #di3jjd3jbe ,wherefore putting away lying1 speak every man truth with his neighbour3 for we are members one of another4 #di3jjd3jbf ,be ye angry1 and sin not3 let not the sun go down upon your wrath3 #di3jjd3jbg ,neither give place to the devil4 #di3jjd3jbh ,let him that stole steal no more3 but rather let him labour1 working with his hands the thing which is good1 that he may have to give to him that needeth4 #di3jjd3jbi ,let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth1 but that which is good to the use of edifying1 that it may minister grace unto the hearers4 #di3jjd3jcj ,and grieve not the holy ,spirit of ,god1 whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption4 #di3jjd3jca ,let all bitterness1 and wrath1 and anger1 and clamour1 and evil speaking1 be put away from you1 with all malice3 #di3jjd3jcb ,and be ye kind one to another1 tenderhearted1 forgiving one another1 even as ,god for ,christ's sake hath forgiven you4 #di3jje3jja ,be ye therefore followers of ,god1 as dear children2 #di3jje3jjb ,and walk in love1 as ,christ also hath loved us1 and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to ,god for a sweetsmelling savour4 #di3jje3jjc ,but fornication1 and all uncleanness1 or covetousness1 let it not be once named among you1 as becometh saints2 #di3jje3jjd ,neither filthiness1 nor foolish talking1 nor jesting1 which are not convenient3 but rather giving of thanks4 #di3jje3jje ,for this ye know1 that no whoremonger1 nor unclean person1 nor covetous man1 who is an idolater1 hath any inheritance in the kingdom of ,christ and of ,god4 #di3jje3jjf ,let no man deceive you with vain words3 for because of these things cometh the wrath of ,god upon the children of disobedience4 #di3jje3jjg ,be not ye therefore partakers with them4 #di3jje3jjh ,for ye were sometimes darkness1 but now are ye light in the ,lord3 walk as children of light3 #di3jje3jji 7,for the fruit of the ,spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth27 #di3jje3jaj ,proving what is acceptable unto the ,lord4 #di3jje3jaa ,and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness1 but rather reprove them4 #di3jje3jab ,for it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret4 #di3jje3jac ,but all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light3 for whatsoever doth make manifest is light4 #di3jje3jad ,wherefore he saith1 ,awake thou that sleepest1 and arise from the dead1 and ,christ shall give thee light4 #di3jje3jae ,see then that ye walk circumspectly1 not as fools1 but as wise1 #di3jje3jaf ,redeeming the time1 because the days are evil4 #di3jje3jag ,wherefore be ye not unwise1 but understanding what the will of the ,lord is4 #di3jje3jah ,and be not drunk with wine1 wherein is excess2 but be filled with the ,spirit2 #di3jje3jai ,speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs1 singing and making melody in your heart to the ,lord2 #di3jje3jbj ,giving thanks always for all things unto ,god and the ,father in the name of our ,lord ,jesus ,christ2 #di3jje3jba ,submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of ,god4 #di3jje3jbb ,wives1 submit yourselves unto your own husbands1 as unto the ,lord4 #di3jje3jbc ,for the husband is the head of the wife1 even as ,christ is the head of the church3 and he is the saviour of the body4 #di3jje3jbd ,therefore as the church is subject unto ,christ1 so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing4 #di3jje3jbe ,husbands1 love your wives1 even as ,christ also loved the church1 and gave himself for it2 #di3jje3jbf ,that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word1 #di3jje3jbg ,that he might present it to himself a glorious church1 not having spot1 or wrinkle1 or any such thing2 but that it should be holy and without blemish4 #di3jje3jbh ,so ought men to love their wives as their own bodies4 ,he that loveth his wife loveth himself4 #di3jje3jbi ,for no man ever yet hated his own flesh2 but nourisheth and cherisheth it1 even as the ,lord the church3 #di3jje3jcj ,for we are members of his body1 of his flesh1 and of his bones4 #di3jje3jca ,for this cause shall a man leave his father and mother1 and shall be joined unto his wife1 and they two shall be one flesh4 #di3jje3jcb ,this is a great mystery3 but ,i speak concerning ,christ and the church4 #di3jje3jcc ,nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself2 and the wife see that she reverence her husband4 #di3jjf3jja ,children1 obey your parents in the ,lord3 for this is right4 #di3jjf3jjb ,honour thy father and mother2 which is the first commandment with promise2 #di3jjf3jjc ,that it may be well with thee1 and thou mayest live long on the earth4 #di3jjf3jjd ,and1 ye fathers1 provoke not your children to wrath3 but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the ,lord4 #di3jjf3jje ,servants1 be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh1 with fear and trembling1 in singleness of your heart1 as unto ,christ2 #di3jjf3jjf ,not with eyeservice1 as menpleasers2 but as the servants of ,christ1 doing the will of ,god from the heart2 #di3jjf3jjg ,with good will doing service1 as to the ,lord1 and not to men3 #di3jjf3jjh ,knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth1 the same shall he receive of the ,lord1 whether he be bond or free4 #di3jjf3jji ,and1 ye masters1 do the same things unto them1 forbearing threatening3 knowing that your ,master also is in heaven2 neither is there respect of persons with him4 #di3jjf3jaj ,finally1 my brethren1 be strong in the ,lord1 and in the power of his might4 #di3jjf3jaa ,put on the whole armour of ,god1 that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil4 #di3jjf3jab ,for we wrestle not against flesh and blood1 but against principalities1 against powers1 against the rulers of the darkness of this world1 against spiritual wickedness in high places4 #di3jjf3jac ,wherefore take unto you the whole armour of ,god1 that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day1 and having done all1 to stand4 #di3jjf3jad ,stand therefore1 having your loins girt about with truth1 and having on the breastplate of righteousness2 #di3jjf3jae ,and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace2 #di3jjf3jaf ,above all1 taking the shield of faith1 wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked4 #di3jjf3jag ,and take the helmet of salvation1 and the sword of the ,spirit1 which is the word of ,god3 #di3jjf3jah ,praying always with all prayer and supplication in the ,spirit1 and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints2 #di3jjf3jai ,and for me1 that utterance may be given unto me1 that ,i may open my mouth boldly1 to make known the mystery of the gospel1 #di3jjf3jbj ,for which ,i am an ambassador in bonds3 that therein ,i may speak boldly1 as ,i ought to speak4 #di3jjf3jba ,but that ye also may know my affairs1 and how ,i do1 ,tychicus1 a beloved brother and faithful minister in the ,lord1 shall make known to you all things3 #di3jjf3jbb ,whom ,i have sent unto you for the same purpose1 that ye might know our affairs1 and that he might comfort your hearts4 #di3jjf3jbc ,peace be to the brethren1 and love with faith1 from ,god the ,father and the ,lord ,jesus ,christ4 #di3jjf3jbd ,grace be with all them that love our ,lord ,jesus ,christ in sincerity4 ,amen4
