The Book of Ephesians
Ephesians Chapter One 
Ephesians 01:01 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:
Ephesians 01:02 Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 01:03 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
Ephesians 01:04 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
Ephesians 01:05 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
Ephesians 01:06 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
Ephesians 01:07 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
Ephesians 01:08 Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;
Ephesians 01:09 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:
Ephesians 01:10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:
Ephesians 01:11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:
Ephesians 01:12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
Ephesians 01:13 In whom ye also trusted , after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
Ephesians 01:14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
Ephesians 01:15 Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints,
Ephesians 01:16 Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;
Ephesians 01:17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
Ephesians 01:18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
Ephesians 01:19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,
Ephesians 01:20 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places ,
Ephesians 01:21 Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:
Ephesians 01:22 And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,
Ephesians 01:23 Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
Ephesians Chapter Two 
Ephesians 02:01 And you hath he quickened , who were dead in trespasses and sins:
Ephesians 02:02 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
Ephesians 02:03 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.
Ephesians 02:04 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
Ephesians 02:05 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, by grace ye are saved; 
Ephesians 02:06 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
Ephesians 02:07 That in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
Ephesians 02:08 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Ephesians 02:09 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Ephesians 02:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
Ephesians 02:11 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;
Ephesians 02:12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:
Ephesians 02:13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
Ephesians 02:14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us ;
Ephesians 02:15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;
Ephesians 02:16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:
Ephesians 02:17 And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.
Ephesians 02:18 For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.
Ephesians 02:19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
Ephesians 02:20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone ;
Ephesians 02:21 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:
Ephesians 02:22 In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.
Ephesians Chapter Three 
Ephesians 03:01 For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,
Ephesians 03:02 If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you ward:
Ephesians 03:03 How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; as I wrote afore in few words,
Ephesians 03:04 Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ 
Ephesians 03:05 Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;
Ephesians 03:06 That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:
Ephesians 03:07 Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.
Ephesians 03:08 Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;
Ephesians 03:09 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:
Ephesians 03:10 To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,
Ephesians 03:11 According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:
Ephesians 03:12 In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.
Ephesians 03:13 Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.
Ephesians 03:14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Ephesians 03:15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
Ephesians 03:16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
Ephesians 03:17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
Ephesians 03:18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
Ephesians 03:19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
Ephesians 03:20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
Ephesians 03:21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
Ephesians Chapter Four 
Ephesians 04:01 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,
Ephesians 04:02 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
Ephesians 04:03 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
Ephesians 04:04 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
Ephesians 04:05 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
Ephesians 04:06 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
Ephesians 04:07 But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
Ephesians 04:08 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.
Ephesians 04:09 Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?
Ephesians 04:10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things. 
Ephesians 04:11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
Ephesians 04:12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
Ephesians 04:13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
Ephesians 04:14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
Ephesians 04:15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
Ephesians 04:16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
Ephesians 04:17 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,
Ephesians 04:18 Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:
Ephesians 04:19 Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
Ephesians 04:20 But ye have not so learned Christ;
Ephesians 04:21 If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:
Ephesians 04:22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
Ephesians 04:23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
Ephesians 04:24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
Ephesians 04:25 Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.
Ephesians 04:26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
Ephesians 04:27 Neither give place to the devil.
Ephesians 04:28 Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.
Ephesians 04:29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
Ephesians 04:30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
Ephesians 04:31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
Ephesians 04:32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
Ephesians Chapter Five 
Ephesians 05:01 Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;
Ephesians 05:02 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.
Ephesians 05:03 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;
Ephesians 05:04 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.
Ephesians 05:05 For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
Ephesians 05:06 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
Ephesians 05:07 Be not ye therefore partakers with them.
Ephesians 05:08 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:
Ephesians 05:09 For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth; 
Ephesians 05:10 Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.
Ephesians 05:11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them .
Ephesians 05:12 For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.
Ephesians 05:13 But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.
Ephesians 05:14 Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.
Ephesians 05:15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
Ephesians 05:16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
Ephesians 05:17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is .
Ephesians 05:18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;
Ephesians 05:19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
Ephesians 05:20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
Ephesians 05:21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.
Ephesians 05:22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
Ephesians 05:23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
Ephesians 05:24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
Ephesians 05:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
Ephesians 05:26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
Ephesians 05:27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
Ephesians 05:28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.
Ephesians 05:29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:
Ephesians 05:30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
Ephesians 05:31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
Ephesians 05:32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
Ephesians 05:33 Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.
Ephesians Chapter Six 
Ephesians 06:01 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.
Ephesians 06:02 Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise;
Ephesians 06:03 That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.
Ephesians 06:04 And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
Ephesians 06:05 Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;
Ephesians 06:06 Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;
Ephesians 06:07 With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men:
Ephesians 06:08 Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.
Ephesians 06:09 And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him.
Ephesians 06:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
Ephesians 06:11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
Ephesians 06:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places .
Ephesians 06:13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Ephesians 06:14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
Ephesians 06:15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
Ephesians 06:16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
Ephesians 06:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
Ephesians 06:18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
Ephesians 06:19 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,
Ephesians 06:20 For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
Ephesians 06:21 But that ye also may know my affairs, and how I do, Tychicus, a beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, shall make known to you all things:
Ephesians 06:22 Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that ye might know our affairs, and that he might comfort your hearts.
Ephesians 06:23 Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 06:24 Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen.
