Greeting

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, To the saints who are in Ephesus, and faithful in Christ Jesus:

Prayer for Spiritual Wisdom

Therefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints,

the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,

Christ Our Cornerstone

Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God,

Purpose of the Mystery

To me, who am less than the least of all the saints, this grace was given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,

may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height—

for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ,

But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints;

praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints—
