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.

WhereforeG1352 rememberG3421, thatG3754 yeG5210 being in time pastG4218 GentilesG1484 inG1722 the fleshG4561, whoG3588 are calledG3004 UncircumcisionG203 byG5259 that whichG3588 is calledG3004 the CircumcisionG4061 inG1722 the fleshG4561 made by handsG5499;
If so be thatG1489 ye have heardG191 himG846, andG2532 have been taughtG1321 byG1722 himG846, asG2531 the truthG225 isG2076 inG1722 JesusG2424:
And takeH5337 not the wordH1697 of truthH571 utterlyH3966 out of my mouthH6310; for I have hopedH3176 in thy judgmentsH4941.
AndG2532 he saidG2036 unto themG846, Go yeG4198 intoG1519 allG537 the worldG2889, and preachG2784 the gospelG2098 to everyG3956 creatureG2937.
AndG2532 grieveG3076 notG3361 the holyG40 SpiritG4151 of GodG2316, wherebyG1722+G3739 ye are sealedG4972 untoG1519 the dayG2250 of redemptionG629.
And it shall come to pass afterwardH310, that I will pour outH8210 my spiritH7307 upon all fleshH1320; and your sonsH1121 and your daughtersH1323 shall prophesyH5012, your old menH2205 shall dreamH2492 dreamsH2472, your young menH970 shall seeH7200 visionsH2384:
ThatG3754 atG1722 thatG1565 timeG2540 ye wereG2258 withoutG5565 ChristG5547, being aliensG526 from the commonwealthG4174 of IsraelG2474, andG2532 strangersG3581 from the covenantsG1242 of promiseG1860, havingG2192 noG3361 hopeG1680, andG2532 without GodG112 inG1722 the worldG2889:
ForG3754 the lawG3551 was givenG1325 byG1223 MosesG3475, but graceG5485 andG2532 truthG225 cameG1096 byG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
ByG1722 the wordG3056 of truthG225, byG1722 the powerG1411 of GodG2316, byG1223 the armourG3696 of righteousnessG1343 on the right handG1188 andG2532 on the leftG710,
He that believethG4100 andG2532 is baptizedG907 shall be savedG4982; butG1161 he that believeth notG569 shall be damnedG2632.
LabourG2038 notG3361 for the meatG1035 whichG3588 perishethG622, butG235 for that meatG1035 whichG3588 endurethG3306 untoG1519 everlastingG166 lifeG2222, whichG3739 the SonG5207 of manG444 shall giveG1325 unto youG5213: forG1063 himG5126 hathG4972 GodG2316 the FatherG3962 sealedG4972. {Labour not: or, Work not}
IfG1487 yeG5210 thenG3767, beingG5225 evilG4190, knowG1492 how to giveG1325 goodG18 giftsG1390 unto yourG5216 childrenG5043: how muchG4214 moreG3123 shallG1325 your heavenlyG3772 FatherG3962+G1537 giveG1325 the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 to them that askG154 himG846?
AndG2532 youG5209, that wereG5607 sometimeG4218 alienatedG526 andG2532 enemiesG2190 in your mindG1271 byG1722 wickedG4190 worksG2041, yetG1161 nowG3570 hath he reconciledG604 {in…: or, by your mind in}
InG1722 the bodyG4983 of hisG846 fleshG4561 throughG1223 deathG2288, to presentG3936 youG5209 holyG40 andG2532 unblameableG299 andG2532 unreproveableG410 in hisG846 sightG2714:
IfG1489 ye continueG1961 in the faithG4102 groundedG2311 andG2532 settledG1476, andG2532 be notG3361 moved awayG3334 fromG575 the hopeG1680 of the gospelG2098, whichG3739 ye have heardG191, and whichG3588 was preachedG2784 toG1722 everyG3956 creatureG2937 which is underG5259 heavenG3772; whereofG3739 IG1473 PaulG3972 am madeG1096 a ministerG1249;
ButG1161 GodG2316 be thankedG5485, thatG3754 ye wereG2258 the servantsG1401 of sinG266, butG1161 ye have obeyedG5219 fromG1537 the heartG2588 that formG5179 of doctrineG1322 whichG1519+G3739 was delivered youG3860. {which…: Gr. whereto ye were delivered}
StudyG4704 to shewG3936 thyselfG4572 approvedG1384 unto GodG2316, a workmanG2040 that needeth not to be ashamedG422, rightly dividingG3718 the wordG3056 of truthG225.
MenG435 and brethrenG80, childrenG5207 of the stockG1085 of AbrahamG11, andG2532 whosoever amongG1722 youG5213 fearethG5399 GodG2316, to youG5213 isG649 the wordG3056 of thisG5026 salvationG4991 sentG649.
AndG2532 he receivedG2983 the signG4592 of circumcisionG4061, a sealG4973 of the righteousnessG1343 of the faithG4102 whichG3588 he had yet beingG1722 uncircumcisedG203: thatG1519 heG846 might beG1511 the fatherG3962 of allG3956 them that believeG4100, thoughG1223 they be not circumcisedG203; thatG1519 righteousnessG1343 might be imputedG3049 unto themG846 alsoG2532:
AndG2532, beholdG2400, IG1473 sendG649 the promiseG1860 of myG3450 FatherG3962 uponG1909 youG5209: butG1161 tarryG2523 yeG5210 inG1722 the cityG4172 of JerusalemG2419, untilG2193 yeG3739 be enduedG1746 with powerG1411 fromG1537 on highG5311.
WhichG3588 in time pastG4218 were notG3756 a peopleG2992, butG1161 are nowG3568 the peopleG2992 of GodG2316: whichG3588 hadG1653 notG3756 obtained mercyG1653, butG1161 nowG3568 have obtained mercyG1653.
HowG4459 thenG3767 shall they call onG1941 him inG1519 whomG3739 they haveG4100 notG3756 believedG4100? andG1161 howG4459 shall they believe inG4100 him of whomG3739 they haveG191 notG3756 heardG191? andG1161 howG4459 shall they hearG191 withoutG5565 a preacherG2784?
AndG1161 howG4459 shall they preachG2784, exceptG3362 they be sentG649? asG2531 it is writtenG1125, HowG5613 beautifulG5611 are the feet of themG4228 that preach the gospelG2097 of peaceG1515, and bring glad tidingsG2097 of good thingsG18!
ButG235 they haveG5219 notG3756 allG3956 obeyedG5219 the gospelG2098. ForG1063 EsaiasG2268 saithG3004, LordG2962, whoG5101 hath believedG4100 ourG2257 reportG189? {our report: Gr. the hearing of us?} {report: or, preaching?}
So thenG686 faithG4102 cometh byG1537 hearingG189, andG1161 hearingG189 byG1223 the wordG4487 of GodG2316.
Of his own willG1014 begat heG616 usG2248 with the wordG3056 of truthG225, thatG1519 weG2248 should beG1511 a kindG5100 of firstfruitsG536 of hisG846 creaturesG2938.
ForG1063 I amG1870 notG3756 ashamedG1870 of the gospelG2098 of ChristG5547: forG1063 it isG2076 the powerG1411 of GodG2316 untoG1519 salvationG4991 to every oneG3956 that believethG4100; to the JewG2453 firstG4412, andG5037 alsoG2532 to the GreekG1672.
WhoG3588 hathG4972 alsoG2532 sealedG4972 usG2248, andG2532 givenG1325 the earnestG728 of the SpiritG4151 inG1722 ourG2257 heartsG2588.
AndG2532 IG1473 will prayG2065 the FatherG3962, andG2532 he shall giveG1325 youG5213 anotherG243 ComforterG3875, thatG2443 he may abideG3306 withG3326 youG5216 forG1519 everG165;
Since we heardG191 of yourG5216 faithG4102 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424, andG2532 of the loveG26 whichG3588 ye have toG1519 allG3956 the saintsG40,
ForG1223 the hopeG1680 whichG3588 is laid upG606 for youG5213 inG1722 heavenG3772, whereofG3739 ye heard beforeG4257 inG1722 the wordG3056 of the truthG225 of the gospelG2098;
WhichG3588 is comeG3918 untoG1519 youG5209, asG2531+G2532 it is inG1722 allG3956 the worldG2889; andG2532 bringeth forth fruitG2076+G2592, asG2531 it doth alsoG2532 inG1722 youG5213, sinceG575 theG3739 dayG2250 ye heardG191 of it, andG2532 knewG1921 the graceG5485 of GodG2316 inG1722 truthG225:
AndG2532 thatG3754 fromG575 a childG1025 thou hast knownG1492 the holyG2413 scripturesG1121, whichG3588 are ableG1410 to makeG4679 theeG4571 wiseG4679 untoG1519 salvationG4991 throughG1223 faithG4102 whichG3588 is inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424.
NeverthelessG3305 the foundationG2310 of GodG2316 standethG2476 sureG4731, havingG2192 thisG5026 sealG4973, The LordG2962 knowethG1097 them that areG5607 hisG846. AndG2532, LetG868 every oneG3956 that namethG3687 the nameG3686 of ChristG5547 departG868 fromG575 iniquityG93. {sure: or, steady}
Even the SpiritG4151 of truthG225; whomG3739 the worldG2889 cannotG3756+G1410 receiveG2983, becauseG3754 it seethG2334 himG846 notG3756, neitherG3761 knowethG1097 himG846: butG1161 yeG5210 knowG1097 himG846; forG3754 he dwellethG3306 withG3844 youG5213, andG2532 shall beG2071 inG1722 youG5213.
IfG1489 ye continueG1961 in the faithG4102 groundedG2311 andG2532 settledG1476, andG2532 be notG3361 moved awayG3334 fromG575 the hopeG1680 of the gospelG2098, whichG3739 ye have heardG191, and whichG3588 was preachedG2784 toG1722 everyG3956 creatureG2937 which is underG5259 heavenG3772; whereofG3739 IG1473 PaulG3972 am madeG1096 a ministerG1249;
ForG1063 the graceG5485 of GodG2316 that bringeth salvationG4992 hath appearedG2014 to allG3956 menG444, {hath…: or, to all men, hath appeared}
AndG2532 I sawG1492 anotherG243 angelG32 ascendingG305 fromG575 the eastG395+G2246, havingG2192 the sealG4973 of the livingG2198 GodG2316: andG2532 he criedG2896 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456 to the fourG5064 angelsG32, to whomG3739 itG846 was givenG1325 to hurtG91 the earthG1093 andG2532 the seaG2281,
ButG1161 the ComforterG3875, which is the HolyG40 GhostG4151, whomG3739 the FatherG3962 will sendG3992 inG1722 myG3450 nameG3686, heG1565 shall teachG1321 youG5209 all thingsG3956, andG2532 bringG5279 all thingsG3956 toG5279 yourG5209 remembranceG5279, whatsoeverG3739 I have saidG2036 unto youG5213.
For thisG5124 causeG1223 alsoG2532 thankG2168 weG2249 GodG2316 without ceasingG89, becauseG3754, when ye receivedG3880 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 which ye heardG189 ofG3844 usG2257, ye receivedG1209 it notG3756 as the wordG3056 of menG444, butG235 asG2531 it isG2076 in truthG230, the wordG3056 of GodG2316, whichG3739 effectually workethG1754 alsoG2532 inG1722 youG5213 that believeG4100.
HowG4459 shall weG2249 escapeG1628, if we neglectG272 so greatG5082 salvationG4991; whichG3748 at the firstG746 beganG2983 to be spokenG2980 byG1223 the LordG2962, and was confirmedG950 untoG1519 usG2248 byG5259 them that heardG191 him;
ButG1161 whenG3752 the ComforterG3875 is comeG2064, whomG3739 IG1473 will sendG3992 unto youG5213 fromG3844 the FatherG3962, even the SpiritG4151 of truthG225, whichG3739 proceedethG1607 fromG3844 the FatherG3962, heG1565 shall testifyG3140 ofG4012 meG1700:
NeverthelessG235 IG1473 tellG3004 youG5213 the truthG225; It is expedientG4851 for youG5213 thatG2443 IG1473 go awayG565: forG1063 ifG3362 I goG565 notG3362 awayG565, the ComforterG3875 willG2064 notG3756 comeG2064 untoG4314 youG5209; butG1161 ifG1437 I departG4198, I will sendG3992 himG846 untoG4314 youG5209.
AndG2532 when he is comeG2064, heG1565 will reproveG1651 the worldG2889 ofG4012 sinG266, andG2532 ofG4012 righteousnessG1343, andG2532 ofG4012 judgmentG2920: {reprove: or, convince}
OfG4012 sinG266+G3303, becauseG3754 they believeG4100 notG3756 onG1519 meG1691;
OfG4012+G1161 righteousnessG1343, becauseG3754 I goG5217 toG4314 myG3450 FatherG3962, andG2532 ye seeG2334 meG3165 no moreG3765;
OfG4012+G1161 judgmentG2920, becauseG3754 the princeG758 of thisG5127 worldG2889 is judgedG2919.
I haveG2192 yetG2089 many thingsG4183 to sayG3004 unto youG5213, butG235 ye cannotG3756+G1410 bear themG941 nowG737.
HowbeitG1161 whenG3752 heG1565, the SpiritG4151 of truthG225, is comeG2064, he will guideG3594 youG5209 intoG1519 allG3956 truthG225: forG1063 he shallG2980 notG3756 speakG2980 ofG575 himselfG1438; butG235 whatsoeverG3745+G302 he shall hearG191, that shall he speakG2980: andG2532 he will shewG312 youG5213 things to comeG2064.
