Ephesians 1:1-8 (King James Version)

Ephesians 1

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

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

 ³Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

 ⁴According 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:

 ⁵Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,

 ⁶To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.

 ⁷In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;

 ⁸Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;
