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.

ToG1519 the praiseG1868 of the gloryG1391 of hisG846 graceG5485, whereinG1722+G3739 he hath madeG5487 usG2248 acceptedG5487 inG1722 the belovedG25.
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.
KissH5401 the SonH1248, lest he be angryH599, and ye perishH6 from the wayH1870, when his wrathH639 is kindledH1197 but a littleH4592. BlessedH835 are all they that put their trustH2620 in him.
ThatG2443 inG1722 the agesG165 to comeG1904 he might shewG1731 the exceedingG5235 richesG4149 of hisG846 graceG5485 inG1722 his kindnessG5544 towardG1909 usG2248 throughG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424.
Put not your trustH982 in princesH5081, nor in the sonH1121 of manH120, in whom there is no helpH8668. {help: or, salvation}
His breathH7307 goeth forthH3318, he returnethH7725 to his earthH127; in that very dayH3117 his thoughtsH6250 perishH6.
HappyH835 is he that hath the GodH410 of JacobH3290 for his helpH5828, whose hopeH7664 is in the LORDH3068 his GodH430:
Unto himG846 be gloryG1391 inG1722 the churchG1577 byG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 throughoutG1519 allG3956 agesG1074, worldG165 without endG165. AmenG281.
And in that dayH3117 there shall be a rootH8328 of JesseH3448, which shall standH5975 for an ensignH5251 of the peopleH5971; to it shall the GentilesH1471 seekH1875: and his restH4496 shall be gloriousH3519. {glorious: Heb. glory}
ButG1161 weG2249 are boundG3784 to give thanksG2168 alwayG3842 to GodG2316 forG4012 youG5216, brethrenG80 belovedG25 ofG5259 the LordG2962, becauseG3754 GodG2316 hathG138 fromG575 the beginningG746 chosenG138 youG5209 toG1519 salvationG4991 throughG1722 sanctificationG38 of the SpiritG4151 andG2532 beliefG4102 of the truthG225:
Behold, GodH410 is my salvationH3444; I will trustH982, and not be afraidH6342: for the LORDH3050 JEHOVAHH3068 is my strengthH5797 and my songH2176; he also is become my salvationH3444.
Behold, a kingH4428 shall reignH4427 in righteousnessH6664, and princesH8269 shall ruleH8323 in judgmentH4941.
And a manH376 shall be as an hiding placeH4224 from the windH7307, and a covertH5643 from the tempestH2230; as riversH6388 of waterH4325 in a dry placeH6724, as the shadowH6738 of a greatH3515 rockH5553 in a wearyH5889 landH776. {great: Heb. heavy}
Behold my servantH5650, whom I upholdH8551; mine electH972, in whom my soulH5315 delightethH7521; I have putH5414 my spiritH7307 upon him: he shall bring forthH3318 judgmentH4941 to the GentilesH1471.
He shall not cryH6817, nor lift upH5375, nor cause his voiceH6963 to be heardH8085 in the streetH2351.
A bruisedH7533 reedH7070 shall he not breakH7665, and the smokingH3544 flaxH6594 shall he not quenchH3518: he shall bring forthH3318 judgmentH4941 unto truthH571. {smoking: or, dimly burning} {quench: Heb. quench it}
He shall not failH3543 nor be discouragedH7533, till he have setH7760 judgmentH4941 in the earthH776: and the islesH339 shall waitH3176 for his lawH8451. {discouraged: Heb. broken}
I have swornH7650 by myself, the wordH1697 is gone outH3318 of my mouthH6310 in righteousnessH6666, and shall not returnH7725, That unto me every kneeH1290 shall bowH3766, every tongueH3956 shall swearH7650.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; CursedH779 be the manH1397 that trustethH982 in manH120, and makethH7760 fleshH1320 his armH2220, and whose heartH3820 departethH5493 from the LORDH3068.
For he shall be like the heathH6199 in the desertH6160, and shall not seeH7200 when goodH2896 comethH935; but shall inhabitH7931 the parched placesH2788 in the wildernessH4057, in a saltH4420 landH776 and not inhabitedH3427.
BlessedH1288 is the manH1397 that trustethH982 in the LORDH3068, and whose hopeH4009 the LORDH3068 is.
In his daysH3117 JudahH3063 shall be savedH3467, and IsraelH3478 shall dwellH7931 safelyH983: and this is his nameH8034 whereby he shall be calledH7121, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESSH3072. {THE LORD…: Heb. Jehovahtsidkenu}
BeholdG2400 myG3450 servantG3816, whomG3739 I have chosenG140; myG3450 belovedG27, inG1519 whomG3739 myG3450 soulG5590 is well pleasedG2106: I will putG5087 myG3450 spiritG4151 uponG1909 himG846, andG2532 he shall shewG518 judgmentG2920 to the GentilesG1484.
He shallG2051 notG3756 striveG2051, norG3761 cryG2905; neitherG3761 shall any manG5100 hearG191 hisG846 voiceG5456 inG1722 the streetsG4113.
A bruisedG4937 reedG2563 shall heG2608 notG3756 breakG2608, andG2532 smokingG5188 flaxG3043 shall heG4570 notG3756 quenchG4570, tillG2193+G302 he send forthG1544 judgmentG2920 untoG1519 victoryG3534.
AndG2532 inG1722 hisG846 nameG3686 shallG1679 the GentilesG1484 trustG1679.
LetG5015 notG3361 yourG5216 heartG2588 be troubledG5015: ye believeG4100 inG1519 GodG2316, believeG4100 alsoG2532 inG1519 meG1691.
AndG2532 againG3825, EsaiasG2268 saithG3004, There shall beG2071 a rootG4491 of JesseG2421, andG2532 he that shall riseG450 to reign overG757 the GentilesG1484; inG1909 himG846 shallG1679 the GentilesG1484 trustG1679.
NowG1161 the GodG2316 of hopeG1680 fillG4137 youG5209 with allG3956 joyG5479 andG2532 peaceG1515 inG1722 believingG4100, thatG1519 yeG5209 may aboundG4052 inG1722 hopeG1680, throughG1722 the powerG1411 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151.
ForG1223 the whichG3739 causeG156 IG3958 alsoG2532 sufferG3958 these thingsG5023: neverthelessG235 I amG1870 notG3756 ashamedG1870: forG1063 I knowG1492 whomG3739 I have believedG4100, andG2532 am persuadedG3982 thatG3754 he isG2076 ableG1415 to keepG5442 that which IG3450 have committed unto himG3866 againstG1519 thatG1565 dayG2250. {believed: or, trusted}
