Book 49 Ephesians

49:001:001 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:

49:001:002 Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

49:001:003 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who
hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly
places in Christ:

49:001:004 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:

49:001:005 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus
Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,

49:001:006 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made
us accepted in the beloved.

49:001:007 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness
of sins, according to the riches of his grace;

49:001:008 Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;

49:001:009 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:

49:001:010 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:

49:001:011 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:

49:001:012 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.

49:001:013 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,

49:001:014 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption
of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.

49:001:015 Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord
Jesus, and love unto all the saints,

49:001:016 Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my
prayers;

49:001:017 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:

49:001:018 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,

49:001:019 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward
who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,

49:001:020 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead,
and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,

49:001:021 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:

49:001:022 And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,

49:001:023 Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.

49:002:001 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;

49:002:002 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:

49:002:003 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.

49:002:004 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he
loved us,

49:002:005 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together
with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)

49:002:006 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in
heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

49:002:007 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of
his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.

49:002:008 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of
yourselves: it is the gift of God:

49:002:009 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

49:002:010 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good
works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in
them.

49:002:011 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;

49:002:012 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:

49:002:013 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made
nigh by the blood of Christ.

49:002:014 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken
down the middle wall of partition between us;

49:002:015 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;

49:002:016 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the
cross, having slain the enmity thereby:

49:002:017 And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to
them that were nigh.

49:002:018 For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the
Father.

49:002:019 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but
fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;

49:002:020 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and
prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;

49:002:021 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an
holy temple in the Lord:

49:002:022 In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God
through the Spirit.

49:003:001 For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you
Gentiles,

49:003:002 If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which
is given me to you-ward:

49:003:003 How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as
I wrote afore in few words,

49:003:004 Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the
mystery of Christ)

49:003:005 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;

49:003:006 That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:

49:003:007 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.

49:003:008 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;

49:003:009 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:

49:003:010 To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in
heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold
wisdom of God,

49:003:011 According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ
Jesus our Lord:

49:003:012 In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the
faith of him.

49:003:013 Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for
you, which is your glory.

49:003:014 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord
Jesus Christ,

49:003:015 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,

49:003:016 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory,
to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;

49:003:017 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being
rooted and grounded in love,

49:003:018 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth,
and length, and depth, and height;

49:003:019 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that
ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

49:003:020 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,

49:003:021 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all
ages, world without end. Amen.

49:004:001 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye
walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,

49:004:002 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering,
forbearing one another in love;

49:004:003 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of
peace.

49:004:004 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in
one hope of your calling;

49:004:005 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,

49:004:006 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all,
and in you all.

49:004:007 But unto every one of us is given grace according to the
measure of the gift of Christ.

49:004:008 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led
captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.

49:004:009 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended
first into the lower parts of the earth?

49:004:010 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above
all heavens, that he might fill all things.)

49:004:011 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some,
evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;

49:004:012 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the
ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:

49:004:013 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:

49:004:014 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;

49:004:015 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:

49:004:016 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.

49:004:017 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye
henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of
their mind,

49:004:018 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:

49:004:019 Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.

49:004:020 But ye have not so learned Christ;

49:004:021 If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him,
as the truth is in Jesus:

49:004:022 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old
man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;

49:004:023 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;

49:004:024 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in
righteousness and true holiness.

49:004:025 Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his
neighbour: for we are members one of another.

49:004:026 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your
wrath:

49:004:027 Neither give place to the devil.

49:004:028 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.

49:004:029 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.

49:004:030 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed
unto the day of redemption.

49:004:031 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and
evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:

49:004:032 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one
another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

49:005:001 Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;

49:005:002 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.

49:005:003 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it
not be once named among you, as becometh saints;

49:005:004 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which
are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.

49:005:005 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.

49:005:006 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these
things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of
disobedience.

49:005:007 Be not ye therefore partakers with them.

49:005:008 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the
Lord: walk as children of light:

49:005:009 (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and
righteousness and truth;)

49:005:010 Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.

49:005:011 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness,
but rather reprove them.

49:005:012 For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done
of them in secret.

49:005:013 But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the
light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.

49:005:014 Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from
the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.

49:005:015 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as
wise,

49:005:016 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

49:005:017 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of
the Lord is.

49:005:018 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled
with the Spirit;

49:005:019 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual
songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;

49:005:020 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in
the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;

49:005:021 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.

49:005:022 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the
Lord.

49:005:023 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.

49:005:024 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the
wives be to their own husbands in every thing.

49:005:025 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the
church, and gave himself for it;

49:005:026 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of
water by the word,

49:005:027 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.

49:005:028 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that
loveth his wife loveth himself.

49:005:029 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and
cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:

49:005:030 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his
bones.

49:005:031 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.

49:005:032 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.

49:005:033 Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.

49:006:001 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.

49:006:002 Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment
with promise;

49:006:003 That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on
the earth.

49:006:004 And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring
them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

49:006:005 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;

49:006:006 Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;

49:006:007 With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men:

49:006:008 Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.

49:006:009 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.

49:006:010 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power
of his might.

49:006:011 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand
against the wiles of the devil.

49:006:012 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.

49:006:013 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.

49:006:014 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and
having on the breastplate of righteousness;

49:006:015 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of
peace;

49:006:016 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be
able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

49:006:017 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit,
which is the word of God:

49:006:018 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

49:006:019 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,

49:006:020 For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may
speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

49:006:021 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:

49:006:022 Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that ye might
know our affairs, and that he might comfort your hearts.

49:006:023 Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the
Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

49:006:024 Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in
sincerity. Amen.

Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating the Project Gutenberg™ collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg™ electronic works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain “Defects,” such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment.

If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg™

Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg™ electronic works

Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
