+Book 49 Ephesians
+001:001 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God,
+ to the saints who are at Ephesus, and the faithful in Christ Jesus:
+001:002 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
+001:003 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
+ who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly
+ places in Christ;
+001:004 even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world,
+ that we would be holy and without blemish before him in love;
+001:005 having predestined us for adoption as children through Jesus Christ
+ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his desire,
+001:006 to the praise of the glory of his grace, by which he freely
+ bestowed favor on us in the Beloved,
+001:007 in whom we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness
+ of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,
+001:008 which he made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence,
+001:009 making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his
+ good pleasure which he purposed in him
+001:010 to an administration of the fullness of the times,
+ to sum up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens,
+ and the things on the earth, in him;
+001:011 in whom also we were assigned an inheritance, having been
+ foreordained according to the purpose of him who works all
+ things after the counsel of his will;
+001:012 to the end that we should be to the praise of his glory,
+ we who had before hoped in Christ:
+001:013 in whom you also, having heard the word of the truth,
+ the Good News of your salvation,--in whom, having also believed,
+ you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,
+001:014 who is a pledge of our inheritance, to the redemption of God's
+ own possession, to the praise of his glory.
+001:015 For this cause I also, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus
+ which is among you, and the love which you have toward
+ all the saints,
+001:016 don't cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you
+ in my prayers,
+001:017 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory,
+ may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the
+ knowledge of him;
+001:018 having the eyes of your hearts{TR reads "understanding"
+ instead of "hearts"} 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,
+001:019 and what is the exceeding greatness of his power toward us
+ who believe, according to that working of the strength
+ of his might
+001:020 which he worked in Christ, when he raised him from the dead,
+ and made him to sit at his right hand in the heavenly places,
+001:021 far above all rule, and authority, and power, and dominion,
+ and every name that is named, not only in this age,
+ but also in that which is to come.
+001:022 He put all things in subjection under his feet, and gave him
+ to be head over all things for the assembly,
+001:023 which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.
+002:001 You were made alive when you were dead in transgressions and sins,
+002:002 in which you once walked according to the course of this world,
+ according to the prince of the powers of the air, the spirit
+ who now works in the children of disobedience;
+002:003 among whom we also all once lived in the lust of our flesh,
+ doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were
+ by nature children of wrath, even as the rest.
+002:004 But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which
+ he loved us,
+002:005 even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive
+ together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),
+002:006 and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him
+ in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
+002:007 that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches
+ of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus;
+002:008 for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not
+ of yourselves; it is the gift of God,
+002:009 not of works, that no one would boast.
+002:010 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works,
+ which God prepared before that we would walk in them.
+002:011 Therefore remember that once you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are
+ called "uncircumcision" by that which is called "circumcision,"
+ (in the flesh, made by hands);
+002:012 that you were at that time separate from Christ, alienated from
+ the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants
+ of the promise, having no hope and without God in the world.
+002:013 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off are made
+ near in the blood of Christ.
+002:014 For he is our peace, who made both one, and broke down the middle
+ wall of partition,
+002:015 having abolished in the flesh the hostility, the law of
+ commandments contained in ordinances, that he might create
+ in himself one new man of the two, making peace;
+002:016 and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross,
+ having killed the hostility thereby.
+002:017 He came and preached peace to you who were far off and to
+ those who were near.
+002:018 For through him we both have our access in one Spirit
+ to the Father.
+002:019 So then you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are
+ fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God,
+002:020 being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets,
+ Christ Jesus himself being the chief cornerstone;
+002:021 in whom the whole building, fitted together, grows into a holy
+ temple in the Lord;
+002:022 in whom you also are built together for a habitation of God
+ in the Spirit.
+003:001 For this cause I, Paul, am the prisoner of Christ Jesus on
+ behalf of you Gentiles,
+003:002 if it is so that you have heard of the administration of that
+ grace of God which was given me toward you;
+003:003 how that by revelation the mystery was made known to me,
+ as I wrote before in few words,
+003:004 by which, when you read, you can perceive my understanding
+ in the mystery of Christ;
+003:005 which in other generations was not made known to the children
+ of men, as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles
+ and prophets in the Spirit;
+003:006 that the Gentiles are fellow heirs, and fellow members of the body,
+ and fellow partakers of his promise in Christ Jesus through
+ the Good News,
+003:007 of which I was made a servant, according to the gift of that
+ grace of God which was given me according to the working
+ of his power.
+003:008 To me, the very least of all saints, was this grace given,
+ to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,
+003:009 and to make all men see what is the administration{TR
+ reads "fellowship" instead of "administration"} of the mystery
+ which for ages has been hidden in God, who created all things
+ through Jesus Christ;
+003:010 to the intent that now through the assembly the manifold wisdom
+ of God might be made known to the principalities and the powers
+ in the heavenly places,
+003:011 according to the eternal purpose which he purposed in
+ Christ Jesus our Lord;
+003:012 in whom we have boldness and access in confidence through our
+ faith in him.
+003:013 Therefore I ask that you may not lose heart at my troubles
+ for you, which are your glory.
+003:014 For this cause, I bow my knees to the Father of our
+ Lord Jesus Christ,
+003:015 from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,
+003:016 that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory,
+ that you may be strengthened with power through his Spirit
+ in the inward man;
+003:017 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; to the end
+ that you, being rooted and grounded in love,
+003:018 may be strengthened to comprehend with all the saints what is
+ the breadth and length and height and depth,
+003:019 and to know Christ's love which surpasses knowledge, that you
+ may be filled with all the fullness of God.
+003:020 Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all
+ that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,
+003:021 to him be the glory in the assembly and in Christ Jesus to all
+ generations forever and ever. Amen.
+004:001 I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beg you to walk worthily
+ of the calling with which you were called,
+004:002 with all lowliness and humility, with patience, bearing with
+ one another in love;
+004:003 being eager to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
+004:004 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as you also were called
+ in one hope of your calling;
+004:005 one Lord, one faith, one baptism,
+004:006 one God and Father of all, who is over all, and through all,
+ and in us all.
+004:007 But to each one of us was the grace given according to the measure
+ of the gift of Christ.
+004:008 Therefore he says, "When he ascended on high, he led
+ captivity captive, and gave gifts to men."{Psalm 68:18}
+004:009 Now this, "He ascended," what is it but that he also first
+ descended into the lower parts of the earth?
+004:010 He who descended is the one who also ascended far above all
+ the heavens, that he might fill all things.
+004:011 He gave some to be apostles; and some, prophets; and some,
+ evangelists; and some, shepherds{or, pastors} and teachers;
+004:012 for the perfecting of the saints, to the work of serving,
+ to the building up of the body of Christ;
+004:013 until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of
+ the knowledge of the Son of God, to a full grown man,
+ to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;
+004:014 that we may no longer be children, tossed back and forth and carried
+ about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men,
+ in craftiness, after the wiles of error;
+004:015 but speaking truth in love, we may grow up in all things into him,
+ who is the head, Christ;
+004:016 from whom all the body, being fitted and knit together through
+ that which every joint supplies, according to the working
+ in measure of each individual part, makes the body increase
+ to the building up of itself in love.
+004:017 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you
+ no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles also walk,
+ in the futility of their mind,
+004:018 being darkened in their understanding, alienated from
+ the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them,
+ because of the hardening of their hearts;
+004:019 who having become callous gave themselves up to lust, to work
+ all uncleanness with greediness.
+004:020 But you did not learn Christ that way;
+004:021 if indeed you heard him, and were taught in him, even as truth
+ is in Jesus:
+004:022 that you put away, as concerning your former way of life,
+ the old man, that grows corrupt after the lusts of deceit;
+004:023 and that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind,
+004:024 and put on the new man, who in the likeness of God has been
+ created in righteousness and holiness of truth.
+004:025 Therefore, putting away falsehood, speak truth each one with
+ his neighbor. For we are members of one another.
+004:026 "Be angry, and don't sin."{Psalm 4:4} Don't let the sun go
+ down on your wrath,
+004:027 neither give place to the devil.
+004:028 Let him who stole steal no more; but rather let him labor,
+ working with his hands the thing that is good, that he may
+ have something to give to him who has need.
+004:029 Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but such as is
+ good for building up as the need may be, that it may give
+ grace to those who hear.
+004:030 Don't grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed
+ for the day of redemption.
+004:031 Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander,
+ be put away from you, with all malice.
+004:032 And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other,
+ just as God also in Christ forgave you.
+005:001 Be therefore imitators of God, as beloved children.
+005:002 Walk in love, even as Christ also loved you, and gave
+ himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for
+ a sweet-smelling fragrance.
+005:003 But sexual immorality, and all uncleanness, or covetousness,
+ let it not even be mentioned among you, as becomes saints;
+005:004 nor filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are
+ not appropriate; but rather giving of thanks.
+005:005 Know this for sure, that no sexually immoral person,
+ nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater,
+ has any inheritance in the Kingdom of Christ and God.
+005:006 Let no one deceive you with empty words. For because of these things,
+ the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience.
+005:007 Therefore don't be partakers with them.
+005:008 For you were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord.
+ Walk as children of light,
+005:009 for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and
+ righteousness and truth,
+005:010 proving what is well pleasing to the Lord.
+005:011 Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness,
+ but rather even reprove them.
+005:012 For the things which are done by them in secret, it is a shame
+ even to speak of.
+005:013 But all things, when they are reproved, are revealed by the light,
+ for everything that reveals is light.
+005:014 Therefore he says, "Awake, you who sleep, and arise from the dead,
+ and Christ will shine on you."
+005:015 Therefore watch carefully how you walk, not as unwise,
+ but as wise;
+005:016 redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
+005:017 Therefore don't be foolish, but understand what the will
+ of the Lord is.
+005:018 Don't be drunken with wine, in which is dissipation, but be
+ filled with the Spirit,
+005:019 speaking to one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs;
+ singing, and singing praises in your heart to the Lord;
+005:020 giving thanks always concerning all things in the name of our
+ Lord Jesus Christ, to God, even the Father;
+005:021 subjecting yourselves one to another in the fear of Christ.
+005:022 Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord.
+005:023 For the husband is the head of the wife, and Christ also is
+ the head of the assembly, being himself the savior of the body.
+005:024 But as the assembly is subject to Christ, so let the wives
+ also be to their own husbands in everything.
+005:025 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly,
+ and gave himself up for it;
+005:026 that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing
+ of water with the word,
+005:027 that he might present the assembly to himself gloriously,
+ not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it
+ should be holy and without blemish.
+005:028 Even so husbands also ought to love their own wives as their
+ own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself.
+005:029 For no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourishes and cherishes it,
+ even as the Lord also does the assembly;
+005:030 because we are members of his body, of his flesh and bones.
+005:031 "For this cause a man will leave his father and mother,
+ and will be joined to his wife. The two will become
+ one flesh."{Genesis 2:24}
+005:032 This mystery is great, but I speak concerning Christ and
+ of the assembly.
+005:033 Nevertheless each of you must also love his own wife even as himself;
+ and let the wife see that she respects her husband.
+006:001 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.
+006:002 "Honor your father and mother," which is the first commandment
+ with a promise:
+006:003 "that it may be well with you, and you may live long on
+ the earth."{Deuteronomy 5:16}
+006:004 You fathers, don't provoke your children to wrath, but nurture
+ them in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
+006:005 Servants, be obedient to those who according to the flesh
+ are your masters, with fear and trembling, in singleness
+ of your heart, as to Christ;
+006:006 not in the way of service only when eyes are on you, as men pleasers;
+ but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;
+006:007 with good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men;
+006:008 knowing that whatever good thing each one does, he will receive
+ the same again from the Lord, whether he is bound or free.
+006:009 You masters, do the same things to them, and give up threatening,
+ knowing that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven,
+ and there is no partiality with him.
+006:010 Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might.
+006:011 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand
+ against the wiles of the devil.
+006:012 For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against
+ the principalities, against the powers, against the world's
+ rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual
+ forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.
+006:013 Therefore, put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able
+ to withstand in the evil day, and, having done all, to stand.
+006:014 Stand therefore, having the utility belt of truth buckled around
+ your waist, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
+006:015 and having fitted your feet with the preparation of the
+ Good News of peace;
+006:016 above all, taking up the shield of faith, with which you will
+ be able to quench all the fiery darts of the evil one.
+006:017 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit,
+ which is the spoken word of God;
+006:018 with all prayer and requests, praying at all times in the Spirit,
+ and being watchful to this end in all perseverance and requests
+ for all the saints:
+006:019 on my behalf, that utterance may be given to me in opening my mouth,
+ to make known with boldness the mystery of the Good News,
+006:020 for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may
+ speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
+006:021 But that you also may know my affairs, how I am doing, Tychicus,
+ the beloved brother and faithful servant in the Lord,
+ will make known to you all things;
+006:022 whom I have sent to you for this very purpose, that you may
+ know our state, and that he may comfort your hearts.
+006:023 Peace be to the brothers, and love with faith, from God
+ the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
+006:024 Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ with
+ incorruptible love. Amen.

+Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US
+unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we usually do not
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+We are now trying to release all our eBooks one year in advance
+of the official release dates, leaving time for better editing.
+Please be encouraged to tell us about any error or corrections,
+even years after the official publication date.
+
+Please note neither this listing nor its contents are final til

+
+
+Those of you who want to download any eBook before announcement
+can get to them as follows, and just download by date. This is

+
+We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work. The
+time it takes us, a rather conservative estimate, is fifty hours
+to get any eBook selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright
+searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc. Our
+projected audience is one hundred million readers. If the value
+per text is nominally estimated at one dollar then we produce $2
+million dollars per hour in 2002 as we release over 100 new text
+files per month: 1240 more eBooks in 2001 for a total of 4000+
+We are already on our way to trying for 2000 more eBooks in 2002
+If they reach just 1-2% of the world's population then the total
+will reach over half a trillion eBooks given away by year's end.
+
+The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away 1 Trillion eBooks!
+This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred million readers,

+To create these eBooks, the Project expends considerable
+efforts to identify, transcribe and proofread public domain
+works. Despite these efforts, the Project's eBooks and any
+medium they may be on may contain "Defects". Among other
+things, Defects may take the form of incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other

+codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment.
