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.

EvenG2532 when weG2248 wereG5607 deadG3498 in sinsG3900, hath quickened us together withG4806 ChristG5547, (by graceG5485 ye areG2075 savedG4982;) {by…: or, by whose grace}
Therefore my heartH3820 is gladH8055, and my gloryH3519 rejoicethH1523: my fleshH1320 also shall restH7931 in hopeH983. {rest…: Heb. dwell confidently}
For thou wilt not leaveH5800 my soulH5315 in hellH7585; neither wilt thou sufferH5414 thine Holy OneH2623 to seeH7200 corruptionH7845.
Thou wilt shewH3045 me the pathH734 of lifeH2416: in thy presenceH6440 is fulnessH7648 of joyH8057; at thy right handH3225 there are pleasuresH5273 for evermoreH5331.
WhereforeG1352 he saithG3004, When he ascendedG305 upG1519 on highG5311, he led captivityG162 captiveG161, andG2532 gaveG1325 giftsG1390 unto menG444. {captivity…: or, a multitude of captives}
(NowG1161 that he ascendedG305, whatG5101 is itG2076 butG1508 thatG3754 heG2597 alsoG2532 descendedG2597 firstG4412 intoG1519 the lowerG2737 partsG3313 of the earthG1093?
HeG846 that descendedG2597 isG2076 the same alsoG2532 that ascended upG305 far aboveG5231 allG3956 heavensG3772, thatG2443 he might fillG4137 all thingsG3956.) {fill: or, fulfil}
AndG2532 hath raised us up togetherG4891, andG2532 made us sit togetherG4776 inG1722 heavenlyG2032 places inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424:
No manG3762 takethG142 itG846 fromG575 meG1700, butG235 IG1473 layG5087 itG846 downG5087 ofG575 myselfG1683. I haveG2192 powerG1849 to layG5087 itG846 downG5087, andG2532 I haveG2192 powerG1849 to takeG2983 itG846 againG3825. ThisG5026 commandmentG1785 have I receivedG2983 ofG3844 myG3450 FatherG3962.
A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732. The LORDH3068 saidH5002 unto my LordH113, SitH3427 thou at my right handH3225, until I makeH7896 thine enemiesH341 thy footstoolH1916+H7272.
ForG1063 ifG1487 we have beenG1096 planted togetherG4854 in the likenessG3667 of hisG846 deathG2288, we shall beG2071 alsoG235+G2532 in the likeness of his resurrectionG386:
KnowingG1097 thisG5124, thatG3754 ourG2257 oldG3820 manG444 is crucified withG4957 him, thatG2443 the bodyG4983 of sinG266 might be destroyedG2673, that henceforthG3371 weG2248 shouldG1398 notG3371 serveG1398 sinG266.
ForG1063 he that is deadG599 is freedG1344 fromG575 sinG266. {freed: Gr. justified}
NowG1161 ifG1487 we be deadG599 withG4862 ChristG5547, we believeG4100 thatG3754 we shallG4800 alsoG2532 liveG4800 with himG846:
KnowingG1492 thatG3754 ChristG5547 being raisedG1453 fromG1537 the deadG3498 diethG599 no moreG3765; deathG2288 hathG2961 no moreG3765 dominion overG2961 himG846.
ForG3739+G1063 in that he diedG599, he diedG599 unto sinG266 onceG2178: butG1161 in thatG3739 he livethG2198, he livethG2198 unto GodG2316.
LikewiseG3779 reckonG3049 yeG5210 alsoG2532 yourselvesG1438 to beG1511 deadG3498 indeedG3303 unto sinG266, butG1161 aliveG2198 unto GodG2316 throughG1722 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 ourG2257 LordG2962.
He saithG3004 unto themG846, HowG4459 thenG3767 doth DavidG1138 inG1722 spiritG4151 callG2564 himG846 LordG2962, sayingG3004,
The LORDG2962 saidG2036 unto myG3450 LordG2962, Sit thouG2521 onG1537 myG3450 right handG1188, tillG2193+G302 I makeG5087 thineG4675 enemiesG2190 thyG4675 footstoolG5286+G4228?
IfG1487 DavidG1138 thenG3767 callG2564 himG846 LordG2962, howG4459 is heG2076 hisG846 sonG5207?
That I may knowG1097 himG846, andG2532 the powerG1411 of hisG846 resurrectionG386, andG2532 the fellowshipG2842 of hisG846 sufferingsG3804, being made conformableG4833 unto hisG846 deathG2288;
WhomG3739 GodG2316 hath raised upG450, having loosedG3089 the painsG5604 of deathG2288: becauseG2530 it wasG2258 notG3756 possibleG1415 that heG846 should be holdenG2902 ofG5259 itG846.
ForG1063 DavidG1138 speakethG3004 concerningG1519 himG846, I foresawG4308 the LordG2962 alwaysG1223+G3956 beforeG1799 myG3450 face, forG3754 he isG2076 onG1537 myG3450 right handG1188, thatG3363 I shouldG4531 notG3363 be movedG4531:
ThereforeG1223+G5124 didG2165 myG3450 heartG2588 rejoiceG2165, andG2532 myG3450 tongueG1100 was gladG21; moreoverG1161+G2089 alsoG2532 myG3450 fleshG4561 shall restG2681 inG1909 hopeG1680:
BecauseG3754 thou wiltG1459 notG3756 leaveG1459 myG3450 soulG5590 inG1519 hellG86, neitherG3761 wilt thou sufferG1325 thineG4675 Holy OneG3741 to seeG1492 corruptionG1312.
Thou hast made knownG1107 to meG3427 the waysG3598 of lifeG2222; thou shalt makeG4137 meG3165 fullG4137 of joyG2167 withG3326 thyG4675 countenanceG4383.
MenG435 and brethrenG80, letG2036 meG1832 freelyG3326+G3954 speakG2036 untoG4314 youG5209 ofG4012 the patriarchG3966 DavidG1138, thatG3754 he isG5053 bothG2532 deadG5053 andG2532 buriedG2290, andG2532 hisG846 sepulchreG3418 isG2076 withG1722 usG2254 untoG891 thisG5026 dayG2250. {let me: or, I may}
ThereforeG3767 beingG5225 a prophetG4396, andG2532 knowingG1492 thatG3754 GodG2316 had swornG3660 with an oathG3727 to himG846, that ofG1537 the fruitG2590 of hisG846 loinsG3751, according toG2596 the fleshG4561, he would raise upG450 ChristG5547 to sitG2523 onG1909 hisG846 throneG2362;
He seeing this beforeG4275 spakeG2980 ofG4012 the resurrectionG386 of ChristG5547, thatG3754 hisG846 soulG5590 wasG2641 notG3756 leftG2641 inG1519 hellG86, neitherG3761 hisG846 fleshG4561 did seeG1492 corruptionG1312.
ThisG5126 JesusG2424 hathG450 GodG2316 raised upG450, whereofG3739 weG2249 allG3956 areG2070 witnessesG3144.
ThereforeG3767 beingG5312 by the right handG1188 of GodG2316 exaltedG5312, andG5037 having receivedG2983 ofG3844 the FatherG3962 the promiseG1860 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151, he hath shed forthG1632 thisG5124, whichG3739 yeG5210 nowG3568 seeG991 andG2532 hearG191.
JesusG2424 saithG3004 unto himG846, ThouG4771 hast saidG2036: neverthelessG4133 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, HereafterG737+G575 shall ye seeG3700 the SonG5207 of manG444 sittingG2521 onG1537 the right handG1188 of powerG1411, andG2532 comingG2064 inG1909 the cloudsG3507 of heavenG3772.
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}
Be itG2077 knownG1110 unto youG5213 allG3956, andG2532 to allG3956 the peopleG2992 of IsraelG2474, thatG3754 byG1722 the nameG3686 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 of NazarethG3480, whomG3739 yeG5210 crucifiedG4717, whomG3739 GodG2316 raisedG1453 fromG1537 the deadG3498, even byG1722 himG5129 dothG3936 this manG3778 stand hereG3936 beforeG1799 youG5216 wholeG5199.
AndG2532 JesusG2424 cameG4334 and spakeG2980 unto themG846, sayingG3004, AllG3956 powerG1849 is givenG1325 unto meG3427 inG1722 heavenG3772 andG2532 inG1909 earthG1093.
HimG5126 GodG2316 raised upG1453 the thirdG5154 dayG2250, andG2532 shewedG1096 himG846 openlyG1717+G1325;
AndG1161 JesusG2424 saidG2036, IG1473 amG1510: andG2532 ye shall seeG3700 the SonG5207 of manG444 sittingG2521 onG1537 the right handG1188 of powerG1411, andG2532 comingG2064 inG3326 the cloudsG3507 of heavenG3772.
WhyG5101 should it be thought a thingG2919 incredibleG571 withG3844 youG5213, thatG1487 GodG2316 should raiseG1453 the deadG3498?
SoG3303 thenG3767 afterG3326 the LordG2962 had spokenG2980 unto themG846, he was received upG353 intoG1519 heavenG3772, andG2532 satG2523 onG1537 the right handG1188 of GodG2316.
And declaredG3724 to be the SonG5207 of GodG2316 withG1722 powerG1411, accordingG2596 to the spiritG4151 of holinessG42, byG1537 the resurrectionG386 from the deadG3498: {declared: Gr. determined}
These wordsG5023 spakeG2980 JesusG2424, andG2532 lifted upG1869 hisG846 eyesG3788 toG1519 heavenG3772, andG2532 saidG2036, FatherG3962, the hourG5610 is comeG2064; glorifyG1392 thyG4675 SonG5207, thatG2443 thyG4675 SonG5207 alsoG2532 may glorifyG1392 theeG4571:
AsG2531 thou hast givenG1325 himG846 powerG1849 over allG3956 fleshG4561, thatG2443 he should giveG1325 eternalG166 lifeG2222 toG3739 as many asG3956+G846 thou hast givenG1325 himG846.
AndG1161 thisG3778 isG2076 lifeG2222 eternalG166, thatG2443 they might knowG1097 theeG4571 the onlyG3441 trueG228 GodG2316, andG2532 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, whomG3739 thou hast sentG649.
IG1473 have glorifiedG1392 theeG4571 onG1909 the earthG1093: I have finishedG5048 the workG2041 whichG3739 thou gavestG1325 meG3427 toG2443 doG4160.
AndG2532 nowG3568, O FatherG3962, glorifyG1392 thouG4771 meG3165 withG3844 thine own selfG4572 with the gloryG1391 whichG3739 I hadG2192 withG3844 theeG4671 beforeG4253 the worldG2889 wasG1511.
NowG1161 the GodG2316 of peaceG1515, that brought againG321 fromG1537 the deadG3498 ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424, that greatG3173 shepherdG4166 of the sheepG4263, throughG1722 the bloodG129 of the everlastingG166 covenantG1242, {covenant: or, testament}
ForG1063 DavidG1138 is notG3756 ascendedG305 intoG1519 the heavensG3772: butG1161 he saithG3004 himselfG846, The LORDG2962 saidG2036 unto myG3450 LordG2962, Sit thouG2521 onG1537 myG3450 right handG1188,
UntilG2193 I makeG302+G5087 thyG4675 foesG2190 thyG4675 footstoolG4228+G5286.
ThereforeG3767 letG1097 allG3956 the houseG3624 of IsraelG2474 knowG1097 assuredlyG806, thatG3754 GodG2316 hath madeG4160 that sameG5126 JesusG2424, whomG3739 yeG5210 have crucifiedG4717, bothG2532 LordG2962 andG2532 ChristG5547.
HimG5126 hath GodG2316 exaltedG5312 with hisG846 right handG1188 to be a PrinceG747 andG2532 a SaviourG4990, for to giveG1325 repentanceG3341 to IsraelG2474, andG2532 forgivenessG859 of sinsG266.
ButG1161 he, beingG5225 fullG4134 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151, looked up stedfastlyG816 intoG1519 heavenG3772, and sawG1492 the gloryG1391 of GodG2316, andG2532 JesusG2424 standingG2476 onG1537 the right handG1188 of GodG2316,
AndG2532 saidG2036, BeholdG2400, I seeG2334 the heavensG3772 openedG455, andG2532 the SonG5207 of manG444 standingG2476 onG1537 the right handG1188 of GodG2316.
WhoG5101 is he that condemnethG2632? It is ChristG5547 that diedG599, yeaG1161 ratherG3123+G2532, that is risen againG1453, whoG3739 isG2076 evenG2532 atG1722 the right handG1188 of GodG2316, whoG3739 alsoG2532 maketh intercessionG1793 forG5228 usG2257.
IfG1487 yeG4891 thenG3767 be risenG4891 with ChristG5547, seekG2212 those things which are aboveG507, whereG3757 ChristG5547 sittethG2076+G2521 onG1722 the right handG1188 of GodG2316.
WhoG3739 beingG5607 the brightnessG541 of his gloryG1391, andG2532 the express imageG5481 of hisG846 personG5287, andG5037 upholdingG5342 all thingsG3956 by the wordG4487 of hisG846 powerG1411, when he hadG4160+G2512 byG1223 himselfG1438 purgedG4160+G2512 ourG2257 sinsG266, sat downG2523 onG1722 the right handG1188 of the MajestyG3172 onG1722 highG5308;
ButG1161 we seeG991 JesusG2424, whoG3588 was madeG1642 a littleG1024+G5100 lowerG1642 thanG3844 the angelsG32 forG1223 the sufferingG3804 of deathG2288, crownedG4737 with gloryG1391 andG2532 honourG5092; thatG3704 heG1089 by the graceG5485 of GodG2316 should tasteG1089 deathG2288 forG5228 every manG3956. {for the: or, by the}
ButG1161 this manG846, after he had offeredG4374 oneG3391 sacrificeG2378 forG5228 sinsG266 forG1519 everG1336, sat downG2523 onG1722 the right handG1188 of GodG2316;
AndG2532 whenG3753 I sawG1492 himG846, I fellG4098 atG4314 hisG846 feetG4228 asG5613 deadG3498. AndG2532 he laidG2007 hisG846 rightG1188 handG5495 uponG1909 meG1691, sayingG3004 unto meG3427, FearG5399 notG3361; IG1473 amG1510 the firstG4413 andG2532 the lastG2078:
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.
