PaulG3972, an apostleG652 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 byG1223 the willG2307 of GodG2316, to the saintsG40 which areG5607 atG1722 EphesusG2181, andG2532 to the faithfulG4103 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424:
GraceG5485 be to youG5213, andG2532 peaceG1515, fromG575 GodG2316 ourG2257 FatherG3962, andG2532 from the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
BlessedG2128 be the GodG2316 andG2532 FatherG3962 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, whoG3588 hath blessedG2127 usG2248 withG1722 allG3956 spiritualG4152 blessingsG2129 inG1722 heavenlyG2032 places inG1722 ChristG5547: {places: or, things}
According asG2531 he hath chosenG1586 usG2248 inG1722 himG846 beforeG4253 the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889, that weG2248 should beG1511 holyG40 andG2532 without blameG299 beforeG2714 himG846 inG1722 loveG26:
Having predestinatedG4309 usG2248 untoG1519 the adoption of childrenG5206 byG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 toG1519 himselfG846, accordingG2596 to the good pleasureG2107 of hisG846 willG2307,
ToG1519 the praiseG1868 of the gloryG1391 of hisG846 graceG5485, whereinG1722+G3739 he hath madeG5487 usG2248 acceptedG5487 inG1722 the belovedG25.
InG1722 whomG3739 we haveG2192 redemptionG629 throughG1223 hisG846 bloodG129, the forgivenessG859 of sinsG3900, accordingG2596 to the richesG4149 of hisG846 graceG5485;
WhereinG3739 he hath aboundedG4052 towardG1519 usG2248 inG1722 allG3956 wisdomG4678 andG2532 prudenceG5428;
Having made knownG1107 unto usG2254 the mysteryG3466 of hisG846 willG2307, according toG2596 hisG846 good pleasureG2107 whichG3739 he hath purposedG4388 inG1722 himselfG846:
That inG1519 the dispensationG3622 of the fulnessG4138 of timesG2540 he might gather together in oneG346 all thingsG3956 inG1722 ChristG5547, bothG5037 whichG3588 are inG1722 heavenG3772, andG2532 whichG3588 are onG1909 earthG1093; even inG1722 himG846: {heaven: Gr. the heavens}
InG1722 whomG3739 alsoG2532 we have obtained an inheritanceG2820, being predestinatedG4309 according toG2596 the purposeG4286 of him who workethG1754 all thingsG3956 afterG2596 the counselG1012 of his ownG846 willG2307:
ThatG1519 weG2248 should beG1511 toG1519 the praiseG1868 of hisG846 gloryG1391, whoG3588 first trustedG4276 inG1722 ChristG5547. {trusted: or, hoped}
InG1722 whomG3739 yeG5210 alsoG2532 trusted, after that ye heardG191 the wordG3056 of truthG225, the gospelG2098 of yourG5216 salvationG4991: inG1722 whomG3739 alsoG2532 after that ye believedG4100, ye were sealed withG4972 that holyG40 SpiritG4151 of promiseG1860,
WhichG3739 isG2076 the earnestG728 of ourG2257 inheritanceG2817 untilG1519 the redemptionG629 of the purchased possessionG4047, untoG1519 the praiseG1868 of hisG846 gloryG1391.
WhereforeG1223+G5124 I alsoG2504, after I heardG191 ofG2596 yourG5209 faithG4102 inG1722 the LordG2962 JesusG2424, andG2532 loveG26 untoG1519 allG3956 the saintsG40,
CeaseG3973 notG3756 to give thanksG2168 forG5228 youG5216, makingG4160 mentionG3417 of youG5216 inG1909 myG3450 prayersG4335;
ThatG2443 the GodG2316 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, the FatherG3962 of gloryG1391, may giveG1325 unto youG5213 the spiritG4151 of wisdomG4678 andG2532 revelationG602 inG1722 the knowledgeG1922 of himG846: {in…: or, for the acknowledgement}
The eyesG3788 of yourG5216 understandingG1271 being enlightenedG5461; thatG1519 yeG5209 may knowG1492 whatG5101 isG2076 the hopeG1680 of hisG846 callingG2821, andG2532 whatG5101 the richesG4149 of the gloryG1391 of hisG846 inheritanceG2817 inG1722 the saintsG40,
AndG2532 whatG5101 is the exceedingG5235 greatnessG3174 of hisG846 powerG1411 toG1519 us-wardG2248 whoG3588 believeG4100, according toG2596 the workingG1753 of hisG846 mightyG2479 powerG2904, {his mighty power: Gr. the might of his power}
WhichG3739 he wroughtG1754 inG1722 ChristG5547, when he raisedG1453 himG846 fromG1537 the deadG3498, andG2532 setG2523 him atG1722 his ownG846 right handG1188 inG1722 the heavenlyG2032 places,
Far aboveG5231 allG3956 principalityG746, andG2532 powerG1849, andG2532 mightG1411, andG2532 dominionG2963, andG2532 everyG3956 nameG3686 that is namedG3687, notG3756 onlyG3440 inG1722 thisG5129 worldG165, butG235 alsoG2532 inG1722 that which is to comeG3195:
AndG2532 hath putG5293 allG3956 things underG5259 hisG846 feetG4228, andG2532 gaveG1325 himG846 to be the headG2776 overG5228 allG3956 things to the churchG1577,
WhichG3748 isG2076 hisG846 bodyG4983, the fulnessG4138 of him that fillethG4137 allG3956 inG1722 allG3956.

And blessedH1288 be the most highH5945 GodH410, which hath deliveredH4042 thine enemiesH6862 into thy handH3027. And he gaveH5414 him tithesH4643 of all.
ThatG2443 the GodG2316 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, the FatherG3962 of gloryG1391, may giveG1325 unto youG5213 the spiritG4151 of wisdomG4678 andG2532 revelationG602 inG1722 the knowledgeG1922 of himG846: {in…: or, for the acknowledgement}
And I will make of theeH6213 a greatH1419 nationH1471, and I will blessH1288 thee, and makeH1431 thy nameH8034 greatH1431; and thou shalt be a blessingH1293:
WhichG3739 he wroughtG1754 inG1722 ChristG5547, when he raisedG1453 himG846 fromG1537 the deadG3498, andG2532 setG2523 him atG1722 his ownG846 right handG1188 inG1722 the heavenlyG2032 places,
ForG3754 weG2254 wrestleG3823 notG3756 againstG2076+G4314 fleshG4561 andG2532 bloodG129, butG235 againstG4314 principalitiesG746, againstG4314 powersG1849, againstG4314 the rulersG2888 of the darknessG4655 of thisG5127 worldG165, againstG4314 spiritualG4152 wickednessG4189 inG1722 highG2032 places. {flesh…: Gr. blood and flesh} {spiritual…: or, wicked spirits} {high: or, heavenly}
That inG1519 the dispensationG3622 of the fulnessG4138 of timesG2540 he might gather together in oneG346 all thingsG3956 inG1722 ChristG5547, bothG5037 whichG3588 are inG1722 heavenG3772, andG2532 whichG3588 are onG1909 earthG1093; even inG1722 himG846: {heaven: Gr. the heavens}
And DavidH1732 saidH559 to all the congregationH6951, Now blessH1288 the LORDH3068 your GodH430. And all the congregationH6951 blessedH1288 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1, and bowed down their headsH6915, and worshippedH7812 the LORDH3068, and the kingH4428.
MyG3450 FatherG3962, whichG3739 gaveG1325 them meG3427, isG2076 greater thanG3187 allG3956; andG2532 noG3762 man is ableG1410 to pluckG726 them out ofG1537 myG3450 Father'sG3962 handG5495.
And I will blessH1288 them that blessH1288 thee, and curseH779 him that cursethH7043 thee: and in thee shall all familiesH4940 of the earthH127 be blessedH1288.
AndG2532 hath raised us up togetherG4891, andG2532 made us sit togetherG4776 inG1722 heavenlyG2032 places inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424:
AtG1722 thatG1565 dayG2250 yeG5210 shall knowG1097 thatG3754 IG1473 am inG1722 myG3450 FatherG3962, andG2532 yeG5210 inG1722 meG1698, and IG2504 inG1722 youG5213.
Then the LevitesH3881, JeshuaH3442, and KadmielH6934, BaniH1137, HashabniahH2813, SherebiahH8274, HodijahH1941, ShebaniahH7645, and PethahiahH6611, saidH559, Stand upH6965 and blessH1288 the LORDH3068 your GodH430 for everH5769 and everH5769: and blessedH1288 be thy gloriousH3519 nameH8034, which is exaltedH7311 above all blessingH1293 and praiseH8416.
And in thy seedH2233 shall all the nationsH1471 of the earthH776 be blessedH1288; becauseH834+H6118 thou hast obeyedH8085 my voiceH6963.
To the intent thatG2443 nowG3568 unto the principalitiesG746 andG2532 powersG1849 inG1722 heavenlyG2032 places might be knownG1107 byG1223 the churchG1577 the manifoldG4182 wisdomG4678 of GodG2316,
EveryG3956 branchG2814 inG1722 meG1698 thatG846 bearethG5342 notG3361 fruitG2590 he taketh awayG142: andG2532 everyG3956 branch that bearethG5342 fruitG2590, he purgethG2508 itG846, thatG2443 it may bring forthG5342 moreG4119 fruitG2590.
NowG2235 yeG5210 areG2075 cleanG2513 throughG1223 the wordG3056 whichG3739 I have spokenG2980 unto youG5213.
AbideG3306 inG1722 meG1698, and IG2504 inG1722 youG5213. AsG2531 the branchG2814 cannotG3756+G1410 bearG5342 fruitG2590 ofG575 itselfG1438, exceptG3362 it abideG3306 inG1722 the vineG288; no moreG3761+G3779 can yeG5210, exceptG3362 ye abideG3306 inG1722 meG1698.
IG1473 amG1510 the vineG288, yeG5210 are the branchesG2814: He that abidethG3306 inG1722 meG1698, and IG2504 inG1722 himG846, the sameG3778 bringeth forthG5342 muchG4183 fruitG2590: forG3754 withoutG5565 meG1700 ye canG1410 doG4160 nothingG3756+G3762. {without me: or, severed from me}
And blessedH1288 be his gloriousH3519 nameH8034 for everH5769: and let the whole earthH776 be filledH4390 with his gloryH3519; AmenH543, and AmenH543.
JesusG2424 saithG3004 unto herG846, TouchG680 meG3450 notG3361; forG1063 I amG305 not yetG3768 ascendedG305 toG4314 myG3450 FatherG3962: butG1161 goG4198 toG4314 myG3450 brethrenG80, andG2532 sayG2036 unto themG846, I ascendG305 untoG4314 myG3450 FatherG3962, andG2532 yourG5216 FatherG3962; andG2532 to myG3450 GodG2316, andG2532 yourG5216 GodG2316.
And JabezH3258 calledH7121 on the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, Oh thatH518 thou wouldest blessH1288 me indeedH1288, and enlargeH7235 my coastH1366, and that thine handH3027 might be with me, and that thou wouldest keepH6213 me from evilH7451, that it may not grieveH6087 me! And GodH430 grantedH935 him that which he requestedH7592. {Oh…: Heb. If thou wilt, etc} {keep…: Heb. do me}
ForG3754 weG2254 wrestleG3823 notG3756 againstG2076+G4314 fleshG4561 andG2532 bloodG129, butG235 againstG4314 principalitiesG746, againstG4314 powersG1849, againstG4314 the rulersG2888 of the darknessG4655 of thisG5127 worldG165, againstG4314 spiritualG4152 wickednessG4189 inG1722 highG2032 places. {flesh…: Gr. blood and flesh} {spiritual…: or, wicked spirits} {high: or, heavenly}
ThatG2443 they allG3956 may beG5600 oneG1520; asG2531 thouG4771, FatherG3962, art inG1722 meG1698, and IG2504 inG1722 theeG4671, thatG2443 theyG846 alsoG2532 may beG5600 oneG1520 inG1722 usG2254: thatG2443 the worldG2889 may believeG4100 thatG3754 thouG4771 hast sentG649 meG3165.
And at the endH7118 of the daysH3118 IH576 NebuchadnezzarH5020 lifted upH5191 mine eyesH5870 unto heavenH8065, and mine understandingH4486 returnedH8421 unto meH5922, and I blessedH1289 the most HighH5943, and I praisedH7624 and honouredH1922 him that livethH2417 for everH5957, whose dominionH7985 is an everlastingH5957 dominionH7985, and his kingdomH4437 is fromH5974 generationH1859 to generationH1859:
ThatG2443 ye mayG1392 with one mindG3661 andG1722 oneG1520 mouthG4750 glorifyG1392 GodG2316, evenG2532 the FatherG3962 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
His nameH8034 shall endure for everH5769: his nameH8034 shall be continuedH5125+H5125 as long asH6440 the sunH8121: and men shall be blessedH1288 in him: all nationsH1471 shall call him blessedH833. {endure: Heb. be} {his name shall be…: Heb. shall be as a son to continue his father's name for ever}
WhoG3748 serveG3000 unto the exampleG5262 andG2532 shadowG4639 of heavenly thingsG2032, asG2531 MosesG3475 was admonished of GodG5537 when he was aboutG3195 to makeG2005 the tabernacleG4633: forG1063, SeeG3708, saith heG5346, that thou makeG4160 all thingsG3956 according toG2596 the patternG5179 shewedG1166 to theeG4671 inG1722 the mountG3735.
SoG3779 weG2070, being manyG4183, areG2070 oneG1520 bodyG4983 inG1722 ChristG5547, andG1161 everyG2596 oneG1520 membersG3196 one of anotherG240.
ThenG2532 tookG1209 heG846 himG846 upG1209 inG1519 hisG846 armsG43, andG2532 blessedG2127 GodG2316, andG2532 saidG2036,
BlessedG2128 be GodG2316, evenG2532 the FatherG3962 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, the FatherG3962 of merciesG3628, andG2532 the GodG2316 of allG3956 comfortG3874;
It was thereforeG3767 necessaryG318 that the patternsG5262 of thingsG3303 inG1722 the heavensG3772 should be purifiedG2511 with theseG5125; butG1161 the heavenly thingsG2032 themselvesG846 with betterG2909 sacrificesG2378 thanG3844 theseG5025.
ButG1161 ofG1537 himG846 areG2075 yeG5210 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424, whoG3739 ofG575 GodG2316 is madeG1096 unto usG2254+G5037 wisdomG4678, and righteousnessG1343, andG2532 sanctificationG38, andG2532 redemptionG629:
BlessedG2128 be GodG2316, evenG2532 the FatherG3962 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, the FatherG3962 of merciesG3628, andG2532 the GodG2316 of allG3956 comfortG3874;
The GodG2316 andG2532 FatherG3962 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, whichG3588 isG5607 blessedG2128 forG1519 evermoreG165, knowethG1492 that IG3754 lieG5574 notG3756.
And their seedH2233 shall be knownH3045 among the GentilesH1471, and their offspringH6631 amongH8432 the peopleH5971: all that seeH7200 them shall acknowledgeH5234 them, that they are the seedH2233 which the LORDH3068 hath blessedH1288.
ForG1063 asG2509 the bodyG4983 isG2076 oneG1520, andG2532 hathG2192 manyG4183 membersG3196, andG1161 allG3956 the membersG3196 of that oneG1520 bodyG4983, beingG5607 manyG4183, areG2076 oneG1520 bodyG4983: soG3779 alsoG2532 is ChristG5547.
BlessedG2128 be the GodG2316 andG2532 FatherG3962 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, whichG3588 according toG2596 hisG846 abundantG4183 mercyG1656 hath begottenG313 usG2248 againG313 untoG1519 a livelyG2198 hopeG1680 byG1223 the resurrectionG386 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 fromG1537 the deadG3498, {abundant: Gr. much}
AndG2532 that everyG3956 tongueG1100 should confessG1843 thatG3754 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 is LordG2962, toG1519 the gloryG1391 of GodG2316 the FatherG3962.
ThereforeG5620 if any manG1536 be inG1722 ChristG5547, he is a newG2537 creatureG2937: old thingsG744 are passed awayG3928; beholdG2400, all thingsG3956 are becomeG1096 newG2537. {he is: or, let him be}
AndG2532 whenG3752 those beastsG2226 giveG1325 gloryG1391 andG2532 honourG5092 andG2532 thanksG2169 to him that satG2521 onG1909 the throneG2362, whoG3588 livethG2198 forG1519 everG165 and everG165,
The fourG5064 andG2532 twentyG1501 eldersG4245 fall downG4098 beforeG1799 him that satG2521 onG1909 the throneG2362, andG2532 worshipG4352 him that livethG2198 forG1519 everG165 and everG165, andG2532 castG906 theirG846 crownsG4735 beforeG1799 the throneG2362, sayingG3004,
Thou artG1488 worthyG514, O LordG2962, to receiveG2983 gloryG1391 andG2532 honourG5092 andG2532 powerG1411: forG3754 thouG4771 hast createdG2936 all thingsG3956, andG2532 forG1223 thyG4675 pleasureG2307 they areG1526 andG2532 were createdG2936.
ForG1063 he hath madeG4160 him to be sinG266 forG5228 usG2257, whoG3588 knewG1097 noG3361 sinG266; thatG2443 weG2249 might be madeG1096 the righteousnessG1343 of GodG2316 inG1722 himG846.
AndG2532 they sungG103 a newG2537 songG5603, sayingG3004, Thou artG1488 worthyG514 to takeG2983 the bookG975, andG2532 to openG455 the sealsG4973 thereofG846: forG3754 thou wast slainG4969, andG2532 hast redeemedG59 usG2248 to GodG2316 byG1722 thyG4675 bloodG129 out ofG1537 everyG3956 kindredG5443, andG2532 tongueG1100, andG2532 peopleG2992, andG2532 nationG1484;
AndG2532 hast madeG4160 usG2248 unto ourG2257 GodG2316 kingsG935 andG2532 priestsG2409: andG2532 we shall reignG936 onG1909 the earthG1093.
AndG2532 I beheldG1492, andG2532 I heardG191 the voiceG5456 of manyG4183 angelsG32 round aboutG2943 the throneG2362 andG2532 the beastsG2226 andG2532 the eldersG4245: andG2532 the numberG706 of themG846 wasG2258 ten thousandG3461 times ten thousandG3461, andG2532 thousandsG5505 of thousandsG5505;
SayingG3004 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, WorthyG514 isG2076 the LambG721 that was slainG4969 to receiveG2983 powerG1411, andG2532 richesG4149, andG2532 wisdomG4678, andG2532 strengthG2479, andG2532 honourG5092, andG2532 gloryG1391, andG2532 blessingG2129.
AndG2532 everyG3956 creatureG2938 whichG3739 isG2076 inG1722 heavenG3772, andG2532 onG1722 the earthG1093, andG2532 underG5270 the earthG1093, andG2532 such asG3739 areG2076 inG1909 the seaG2281, andG2532 allG3956 that are inG1722 themG846, heard IG191 sayingG3004, BlessingG2129, andG2532 honourG5092, andG2532 gloryG1391, andG2532 powerG2904, be unto him that sittethG2521 uponG1909 the throneG2362, andG2532 unto the LambG721 forG1519 everG165 and everG165.
AndG2532 the fourG5064 beastsG2226 saidG3004, AmenG281. AndG2532 the fourG5064 and twentyG1501 eldersG4245 fell downG4098 andG2532 worshippedG4352 him that livethG2198 forG1519 everG165 and everG165.
