Efeso 1
Ang Bagong Tipan: Filipino Standard Version
Pagbati
1 Mula kay (A) Pablo, apostol ni Cristo Jesus sa pamamagitan ng kalooban ng Diyos, para sa mga banal na nasa Efeso,[a] at mga tapat kay Cristo Jesus: 2 Sumainyo nawa ang biyaya at kapayapaang mula sa Diyos na ating Ama at sa Panginoong Jesu-Cristo.
Mga Pagpapalang Espirituwal kay Cristo
3 Purihin ang Diyos at Ama ng ating Panginoong Jesu-Cristo, na siyang nagpala sa atin kay Cristo ng bawat pagpapalang espirituwal sa sangkalangitan. 4 Bago pa itinatag ang sanlibutan, pinili na niya tayo kay Cristo upang tayo'y maging banal at walang kapintasan sa kanyang harapan. Dahil sa pag-ibig, 5 itinakda niya noong una pa man ang pagkupkop sa atin bilang kanyang mga anak sa pamamagitan ni Jesu-Cristo, ayon sa mabuting hangarin ng kanyang kalooban. 6 Ito'y upang papurihan siya dahil sa kanyang kahanga-hangang biyaya, na walang bayad niyang ibinigay sa atin sa pamamagitan ng kanyang minamahal na Anak. 7 Sa (B) kanya'y nakamtan natin ang katubusan sa pamamagitan ng kanyang dugo, na siyang kapatawaran ng ating mga kasalanan, ayon sa mga kayamanan ng kanyang biyaya, 8 na masagana niyang ipinagkaloob sa atin. Sa buong karunungan at pagkaunawa, 9 ipinaalam niya sa atin ang hiwaga ng kanyang kalooban, ayon sa mabuting layunin na kanyang itinakda kay Cristo. 10 Ang layuning ito, na kanyang tutuparin pagdating ng takdang panahon, ay upang tipunin kay Cristo ang lahat ng mga bagay na nasa kalangitan at ang mga bagay na nasa ibabaw ng lupa. 11 Kay Cristo ay tumanggap din tayo ng pamana, na itinakda na noong una pa man ayon sa layunin niya na nagsasakatuparan ng lahat ng mga bagay ayon sa hangarin ng kanyang kalooban; 12 upang tayo, na unang nagkaroon ng pag-asa kay Cristo, ay maging karangalan ng kanyang kaluwalhatian. 13 Ito ay nangyari, nang inyong marinig ang salita ng katotohanan, ang ebanghelyo ng inyong kaligtasan, at nang kayo'y sumampalataya kay Jesus, at kayo rin naman ay tinatakan ng ipinangakong Banal na Espiritu. 14 Ibinigay ito bilang katibayan ng ating mamanahin, hanggang sa lubusang matubos ng Diyos ang mga sa kanya, para sa karangalan ng kanyang kaluwalhatian.
Panalangin ni Pablo
15 Dahil dito, nang mabalitaan ko ang inyong pananampalataya sa Panginoong Jesus, at ang inyong pag-ibig sa lahat ng mga banal, 16 walang tigil ang pasasalamat ko para sa inyo, at inaalala kayo sa aking mga panalangin. 17 Idinadalangin ko sa Diyos ng ating Panginoong Jesu-Cristo, ang Ama ng kaluwalhatian, na bigyan kayo ng Espiritu ng karunungan at ng pahayag upang lubos ninyo siyang makilala. 18 Nang sa gayon ay maliwanagan ang inyong puso,[b] upang maunawaan ninyo ang pag-asa ng kanyang pagtawag sa inyo, ang kayamanan ng kanyang maluwalhating pamana sa mga banal, 19 at ang walang kapantay na kadakilaan ng kanyang kapangyarihan para sa ating mga sumasampalataya, ayon sa paggawa ng kanyang makapangyarihang lakas. 20 Isinagawa (C) niya ito kay Cristo, nang siya'y kanyang muling buhayin mula sa kamatayan, at iluklok sa kanyang kanan sa kalangitan, 21 na mas mataas kaysa lahat ng mga pamunuan, mga awtoridad, kapangyarihan, at pamamahala, at mas dakila sa bawat pangalan na maaaring ibigay kaninuman, hindi lamang sa panahong ito, kundi maging sa darating. 22 (D) At ipinasakop ng Diyos ang lahat ng mga bagay sa ilalim ng kanyang mga paa, at ginawa siyang ulo ng lahat para sa iglesya. 23 (E) Ang iglesya ang katawan at kapuspusan ni Cristo, na siya namang pumupuspos ng lahat sa lahat.

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.

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.
