1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, to all the saints who are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus.
Paulus Apostolus Jesu Christi per voluntatem Dei, omnibus sanctis qui sunt Ephesi, et fidelibus in Christo Jesu.

1:2 Grace be to you, and peace from God, our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
Gratia vobis, et pax a Deo Patre nostro, et Domino Jesu Christo.

1:3 Blessed by the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places, in Christ:
Benedictus Deus et Pater Domini nostri Jesu Christi, qui benedixit nos in omni benedictione spirituali in cælestibus in Christo,

1:4 As he hath chose us in him, before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and unspotted in his sight, in charity.
sicut elegit nos in ipso ante mundi constitutionem, ut essemus sancti et immaculati in conspectu ejus in caritate.

1:5 Who hath predestinated us unto the adoption of children, through Jesus Christ, unto himself: according to the purpose of his will,
Qui prædestinavit nos in adoptionem filiorum per Jesum Christum in ipsum: secundum propositum voluntatis suæ,

1:6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, by which he made us acceptable, in his beloved Son.
in laudem gloriæ gratiæ suæ, in qua gratificavit nos in dilecto Filio suo.

1:7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the remission of sins, according to the riches of his grace,
In quo habemus redemptionem per sanguinem ejus, remissionem peccatorum secundum divitias gratiæ ejus,

1:8 Which hath superabounded in us in all wisdom and prudence:
quæ superabundavit in nobis in omni sapientia et prudentia:

1:9 That he might make known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure, which he hath purposed in him.
ut notum faceret nobis sacramentum voluntatis suæ, secundum beneplacitum ejus, quod proposuit in eo,

1:10 In the dispensation of the fulness of times, to establish all things in Christ, which are in heaven and on earth, in him:
in dispensatione plenitudinis temporum, instaurare omnia in Christo, quæ in cælis et quæ in terra sunt, in ipso;

1:11 In whom we also are called by lot, being predestinated according to the purpose of him, who worketh all things according to the counsel of his will:
in quo etiam et nos sorte vocati sumus prædestinati secundum propositum ejus qui operatur omnia secundum consilium voluntatis suæ:

1:12 That we may be to the praise of his glory, who have before hoped Christ:
ut simus in laudem gloriæ ejus nos, qui ante speravimus in Christo;

1:13 In whom you also, when you had heard the word of truth, (the gospel of your salvation:) in whom also believing, you were sealed with the holy Spirit of promise,
in quo et vos, cum audissetis verbum veritatis, Evangelium salutis vestræ, in quo et credentes signati estis Spiritu promissionis Sancto,

1:14 Who is the pledge of our inheritance, for the redemption of acquisition, unto the praise of his glory.
qui est pignus hæreditatis nostræ, in redemptionem acquisitionis, in laudem gloriæ ipsius.

1:15 Wherefore I also hearing of your faith, which is in the Lord Jesus, and of your love towards all the saints,
Propterea et ego audiens fidem vestram, quæ est in Domino Jesu, et dilectionem in omnes sanctos,

1:16 Cease not to give thanks for you, making commemoration of you in my prayers:
non cesso gratias agens pro vobis, memoriam vestri faciens in orationibus meis:

1:17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and of revelation, in the knowledge of him:
ut Deus Domini nostri Jesu Christi, Pater gloriæ, det vobis spiritum sapientiæ et revelationis in agnitione ejus,

1:18 The eyes of your heart enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of his calling, and what are the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
illuminatos oculos cordis vestri, ut sciatis quæ sit spes vocationis ejus, et quæ divitiæ gloriæ hæreditatis ejus in sanctis,

1:19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power towards us, who believe according to the operation of the might of his power,
et quæ sit supereminens magnitudo virtutis ejus in nos, qui credimus secundum operationem potentiæ virtutis ejus,

1:20 Which he wrought in Christ, raising him up from the dead, and setting him at his right hand, in the heavenly places:
quam operatus est in Christo, suscitans illum a mortuis, et constituens ad dexteram suam in cælestibus:

1:21 Above all principality, and power, and virtue, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come.
supra omnem principatum, et potestatem, et virtutem, et dominationem, et omne nomen, quod nominatur non solum in hoc sæculo, sed etiam in futuro.

1:22 And he hath put all things under his feet: and hath made him head over all the church,
Et omnia subjecit sub pedibus ejus: et ipsum dedit caput supra omnem ecclesiam,

1:23 Which is his body, and the fulness of him, who is filled all in all.
quæ est corpus ipsius, et plenitudo ejus, qui omnia in omnibus adimpletur.
