以弗所书 1
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
1 奉神旨意做基督耶稣使徒的保罗，写信给在以弗所的圣徒，就是在基督耶稣里有忠心的人。 2 愿恩惠、平安从神我们的父和主耶稣基督归于你们！
蒙救赎的恩
3 愿颂赞归于我们主耶稣基督的父神！他在基督里曾赐给我们天上各样属灵的福气， 4 就如神从创立世界以前在基督里拣选了我们，使我们在他面前成为圣洁，无有瑕疵； 5 又因爱我们，就按着自己意旨所喜悦的，预定我们借着耶稣基督得儿子的名分， 6 使他荣耀的恩典得着称赞。这恩典是他在爱子里所赐给我们的。 7 我们借这爱子的血得蒙救赎，过犯得以赦免，乃是照他丰富的恩典。 8 这恩典是神用诸般智慧聪明，充充足足赏给我们的， 9 都是照他自己所预定的美意，叫我们知道他旨意的奥秘， 10 要照所安排的，在日期满足的时候，使天上、地上一切所有的，都在基督里面同归于一。 11 我们也在他里面得[a]了基业，这原是那位随己意行做万事的，照着他旨意所预定的， 12 叫他的荣耀从我们这首先在基督里有盼望的人，可以得着称赞。 13 你们既听见真理的道，就是那叫你们得救的福音，也信了基督，既然信他，就受了所应许的圣灵为印记。 14 这圣灵是我们得基业的凭据[b]，直等到神之民[c]被赎，使他的荣耀得着称赞。
指望天上的基业
15 因此，我既听见你们信从主耶稣，亲爱众圣徒， 16 就为你们不住地感谢神，祷告的时候常提到你们， 17 求我们主耶稣基督的神、荣耀的父，将那赐人智慧和启示的灵赏给你们，使你们真知道他。 18 并且照明你们心中的眼睛，使你们知道他的恩召有何等指望，他在圣徒中得的基业有何等丰盛的荣耀； 19 并知道他向我们这信的人所显的能力是何等浩大， 20 就是照他在基督身上所运行的大能大力，使他从死里复活，叫他在天上坐在自己的右边， 21 远超过一切执政的、掌权的、有能的、主治的和一切有名的，不但是今世的，连来世的也都超过了； 22 又将万有服在他的脚下，使他为教会做万有之首。 23 教会是他的身体，是那充满万有者所充满的。
以 弗 所 書 1
Chinese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
1 我，保罗，奉上帝的旨意，成为耶稣基督的一名使徒 [a]，致信给在以弗所的上帝的圣民和耶稣基督的信徒。（一些古版本省略了以弗所。）
2 愿来自我们的父上帝和主耶稣基督的恩典与和平属于你们。
基督之中属灵的祝福
3 祝福上帝—我们的主耶稣基督之父。在基督里，上帝赐给了我们天国里所有属灵的祝福。 4 在基督里，上帝在创世前就挑选了我们，让我们在他面前成为圣洁和无瑕的人。 5 上帝爱我们，因此预先决定通过耶稣基督收养我们做他的儿女。这是上帝的意愿，这使他喜悦。 6 他这么做，使荣耀的恩典得到赞美，他把这恩典在爱子里无偿地赐给了我们。 7 在基督之中，我们凭借他的血（死），享有自由，罪孽得到赦免，是根据他那丰富的恩典所赐。 8 上帝把那恩典丰盛和无偿地赐给了我们。他用全部的智慧与理解， 9 让我们知道了他的秘密计划。这是上帝的意旨，他已计划通过基督去完成它。 10 上帝的目是，在适当的时刻，使天上、地上的一切都归于基督之中。
11 在基督之中，我们被选中，成为上帝的子民。这是事先预定的，万物都是按照他的意旨来完成的。 12 我们被选，为的是我们这些寄希望于基督的人能够赞扬上帝的荣耀。 13 你们也是如此，你们听到了这真理的信息—即关于拯救你们的福音，并相信了基督。在基督中，上帝用赐给你们他应许过的圣灵，给你们盖上了印记。 14 圣灵是我们继承上帝所应许之物的保证，直到上帝把自由赐给他的子民为止。这将给他的荣耀带来赞美。
保罗的祈祷
15 为此，自从我听到你们对主耶稣的信仰和对上帝所有子民的爱， 16 我就不停地在我的祈祷中，提到你们，因为你们而感谢上帝。 17 我向我们的主耶稣基督的上帝—荣耀的天父祈祷。祈祷他赐给你们属灵的智慧力量和对天父认识的启示。 18 我请求你们的心扉能被打开，看到光明，使你们知道他呼唤你们得到的盼望是什么；使你们知道他赐给他的所有的子民荣耀的财产有多么地丰富与荣耀， 19 他的力量对于我们信徒来说，是如此地不可比拟，他的力量就如同他用来 20 让耶稣从死里复活，并让他在天国里坐在他的右侧的伟力一样。 21 上帝置基督于所有的统治者、权威、权势、领主之上，置他于一切能被授予的头衔之上，不仅在今世，在来世也是如此。 22 上帝置一切于基督的权力之下，并使他成为教会的元首，统治一切。 23 教会是基督的身体。教会充满了基督。他使一切事物在各方面都得到圆满。

To the saints who are in Ephesus, and faithful in Christ Jesus:
2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Redemption in Christ
3 (A)Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, 4 just as (B)He chose us in Him (C)before the foundation of the world, that we should (D)be holy and without blame before Him in love, 5 (E)having predestined us to (F)adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, (G)according to the good pleasure of His will, 6 to the praise of the glory of His grace, (H)by which He [a]made us accepted in (I)the Beloved.
7 (J)In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to (K)the riches of His grace 8 which He made to abound toward us in all wisdom and [b]prudence, 9 (L)having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure (M)which He purposed in Himself, 10 that in the dispensation of (N)the fullness of the times (O)He might gather together in one (P)all things in Christ, [c]both which are in heaven and which are on earth—in Him. 11 (Q)In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to (R)the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will, 12 (S)that we (T)who first trusted in Christ should be to the praise of His glory.
13 In Him you also trusted, after you heard (U)the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, (V)you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, 14 (W)who[d] is the [e]guarantee of our inheritance (X)until the redemption of (Y)the purchased possession, (Z)to the praise of His glory.
Prayer for Spiritual Wisdom
15 Therefore I also, (AA)after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, 16 (AB)do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers: 17 that (AC)the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, (AD)may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, 18 (AE)the eyes of your [f]understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is (AF)the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, 19 and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, (AG)according to the working of His mighty power 20 which He worked in Christ when (AH)He raised Him from the dead and (AI)seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, 21 (AJ)far above all (AK)principality[g] and [h]power and [i]might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.
22 And (AL)He put all things under His feet, and gave Him (AM)to be head over all things to the church, 23 (AN)which is His body, (AO)the fullness of Him (AP)who fills all in all.

Ephesians 1
King James Version
1 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:
2 Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
4 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:
5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
8 Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;
9 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:
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:
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:
12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
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,
14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
15 Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints,
16 Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;
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:
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,
19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,
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,
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:
22 And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,
23 Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
