The Blessings of Redemption
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, To the saints who are at Ephesus and are faithful in Christ Jesus:
-
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
-
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,
-
He predestined us to adoption as sons and daughters through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will,
-
For this reason I too, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which exists among you and your love for all the saints,
-
that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him.
-
and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
-
so that in the ages to come He might show the boundless riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.
-
For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.
-
But now in Christ Jesus you who previously were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ.
-
having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the cornerstone,
-
Paul’s Stewardship
For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles—
-
to be specific, that the Gentiles are fellow heirs and fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel,
-
This was in accordance with the eternal purpose which He carried out in Christ Jesus our Lord,
-
to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.
-
if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught in Him, just as truth is in Jesus,
-
always giving thanks for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to our God and Father;
-
Peace be to the brothers and sisters, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
-
Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ with incorruptible love.
