PAUL TO THE EPHESIANS + +Ephesus was the capital of Lesser Asia, and celebrated for the temple of +Diana, to which the most part of the people of the East went frequently +to worship. But St. Paul having preached the Gospel there, for two years +the first time and afterwards for about a year, converted many. He wrote +this Epistle to them when he was a prisoner in Rome; and sent it by +Tychicus. He admonishes them to hold firmly the faith which they had +received and warns them, and also those of the neighbouring cities, +against the sophistry of philosophers and doctrine of false teachers who +were come among them. The matters of faith contained in this Epistle are +exceedingly sublime, and consequently very difficult to be understood. +It was written about twenty-nine years after our Lord's Ascension. + + +Ephesians Chapter 1 + +The great blessings we have received through Christ. He is the head of +all the church. + +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. + +1:2. Grace be to you and peace, from God the Father and from the Lord +Jesus Christ. + +1:3. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath +blessed us with spiritual blessings in heavenly places, in Christ: + +In heavenly places... or, in heavenly things. In coelestibus. + +1:4. As he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we +should be holy and unspotted in his sight in charity. + +1:5. Who hath predestinated us unto the adoption of children through +Jesus Christ unto himself: according to the purpose of his will: + +1:6. Unto the praise of the glory of his grace, in which he hath graced +us, in his beloved son. + +1:7. In whom we have redemption through his blood, the remission of +sins, according to the riches of his, grace, + +1:8. Which hath superabounded in us, in all wisdom and prudence, + +1:9. That he might make known unto us the mystery of his will, according +to his good pleasure, which he hath purposed in him, + +1:10. In the dispensation of the fulness of times, to re-establish all +things in Christ, that are in heaven and on earth, in him. + +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. + +1:12. That we may be unto the praise of his glory: we who before hoped +in Christ: + +1:13. In whom you also, after you had heard the word of truth (the +gospel of your salvation), in whom also believing, you were signed with +the holy Spirit of promise. + +1:14. Who is the pledge of our inheritance, unto the redemption of +acquisition, unto the praise of his glory. + +Acquisition... that is, a purchased possession. + +1:15. Wherefore, I also, hearing of your faith that is in the Lord Jesus +and of your love towards all the saints, + +1:16. Cease not to give thanks for you, making commemoration of you in +my prayers, + +1:17. That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may +give unto you the spirit of wisdom and of revelation, in the knowledge +of him: + +1:18. The eyes of your heart enlightened that you may know what the hope +is of his calling and what are the riches of the glory of his +inheritance in the saints. + +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, + +1:20. Which he wrought in Christ, raising him up from the dead and +setting him on his right hand in the heavenly places. + +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. + +1:22. And he hath subjected all things under his feet and hath made him +head over all the church, + +1:23. Which is his body and the fulness of him who is filled all in all. + +Ephesians Chapter 2 + +All our good comes through Christ. He is our peace. + +2:1. And you, when you were dead in your offences and sins, + +2:2. Wherein in time past you walked according to the course of this +world, according to the prince of the power of this air, of the spirit +that now worketh on the children of unbelief: + +2:3. In which also we all conversed in time past, in the desires of our +flesh, fulfilling the will of the flesh and of our thoughts, and were by +nature children of wrath, even as the rest: + +2:4. But God (who is rich in mercy) for his exceeding charity wherewith +he loved us + +2:5. Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together in +Christ (by whose grace you are saved) + +2:6. And hath raised us up together and hath made us sit together in the +heavenly places, through Christ Jesus. + +2:7. That he might shew in the ages to come the abundant riches of his +grace, in his bounty towards us in Christ Jesus. + +2:8. For by grace you are saved through faith: and that not of +yourselves, for it is the gift of God. + +2:9. Not of works, that no man may glory. + +Not of works... as of our own growth, or from ourselves; but as from the +grace of God. + +2:10. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus in good works, +which God hath prepared that we should walk in them. + +2:11. For which cause be mindful that you, being heretofore gentiles is +the flesh, who are called uncircumcision by that which is called +circumcision in the flesh, made by hands: + +2:12. That you were at that time without Christ, being aliens from the +conversation of Israel and strangers to the testament, having no hope of +the promise and without God in this world. + +2:13. But now in Christ Jesus, you, who some time were afar off, are +made nigh by the blood of Christ. + +2:14. For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and breaking down the +middle wall of partition, the enmities in his flesh: + +2:15. Making void the law of commandments contained in decrees: that he +might make the two in himself into one new man, making peace, + +2:16. And might reconcile both to God in one body by the cross, killing +the enmities in himself. + +2:17. And coming, he preached peace to you that were afar off: and peace +to them that were nigh. + +2:18. For by him we have access both in one Spirit to the Father. + +2:19. Now therefore you are no more strangers and foreigners: but you +are fellow citizens with the saints and the domestics of God, + +2:20. Built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus +Christ himself being the chief corner stone: + +2:21. In whom all the building, being framed together, groweth up into +an holy temple in the Lord. + +2:22. In whom you also are built together into an habitation of God in +the Spirit. + +Ephesians Chapter 3 + +The mystery hidden from former ages was discovered to the apostle, to be +imparted to the Gentiles. He prays that they may be strengthened in God. + + +3:1. For this cause, I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ, for you +Gentiles: + +3:2. If yet you have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which +is given me towards you: + +3:3. How that, according to revelation, the mystery has been made known +to me, as I have written above in a few words: + +3:4. As you reading, may understand my knowledge in the mystery of +Christ, + +3:5. Which in other generations was not known to the sons of men, as it +is now revealed to his holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit: + +3:6. That the Gentiles should be fellow heirs and of the same body: and +copartners of his promise in Christ Jesus, by the gospel + +3:7. Of which I am made a minister, according to the gift of the grace +of God, which is given to me according to the operation of his power. + +3:8. To me, the least of all the saints, is given this grace, to preach +among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ: + +3:9. And to enlighten all men, that they may see what is the +dispensation of the mystery which hath been hidden from eternity in God +who created all things: + +3:10. That the manifold wisdom of God may be made known to the +principalities and powers in heavenly places through the church, + +3:11. According to the eternal purpose which he made in Christ Jesus our +Lord: + +3:12. In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith +of him. + +3:13. Wherefore I pray you not to faint at my tribulations for you, +which is your glory. + +3:14. For this cause I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus +Christ, + +3:15. Of whom all paternity in heaven and earth is named: + +All paternity... Or, the whole family. God is the Father, both of angels +and men; whosoever besides is named father, is so named with +subordination to him. + +3:16. That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to +be strengthened by his Spirit with might unto the inward man: + +3:17. That Christ may dwell by faith in your hearts: that, being rooted +and founded in charity, + +3:18. You may be able to comprehend, with all the saints, what is the +breadth and length and height and depth, + +3:19. To know also the charity of Christ, which surpasseth all +knowledge: that you may be filled unto all the fulness of God. + +3:20. Now to him who is able to do all things more abundantly than we +desire or understand, according to the power that worketh in us: + +3:21. To him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus, unto all +generations, world without end. Amen. + +Ephesians Chapter 4 + +He exhorts them to unity, to put on the new man, and to fly sin. + +4:1. I therefore, a prisoner in the Lord, beseech you that you walk +worthy of the vocation in which you are called: + +4:2. With all humility and mildness, with patience, supporting one +another in charity. + +4:3. Careful to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. + +4:4. One body and one Spirit: as you are called in one hope of your +calling. + +4:5. One Lord, one faith, one baptism. + +4:6. One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and +in us all. + +4:7. But to every one of us is given grace, according to the measure of +the giving of Christ. + +4:8. Wherefore he saith: Ascending on high, he led captivity captive: he +gave gifts to men. + +4:9. Now that he ascended, what is it, but because he also descended +first into the lower parts of the earth? + +4:10. He that descended is the same also that ascended above all the +heavens: that he might fill all things. + +4:11. And he gave some apostles, and some prophets, and other some +evangelists, and other some pastors and doctors: + +Gave some apostles--Until we all meet, etc... Here it is plainly +expressed, that Christ has left in his church a perpetual succession of +orthodox pastors and teachers, to preserve the faithful in unity and +truth. + +4:12. For the perfecting of the saints, for the word of the ministry, +for the edifying of the body of Christ: + +4:13. Until we all meet into the unity of faith and of the knowledge of +the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the age of the +fulness of Christ: + +4:14. That henceforth we be no more children tossed to and fro and +carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the wickedness of men, by +cunning craftiness by which they lie in wait to deceive. + +4:15. But doing the truth in charity, we may in all things grow up in +him who is the head, even Christ: + +4:16. From whom the whole body, being compacted and fitly joined +together, by what every joint supplieth, according to the operation in +the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body, unto the +edifying of itself in charity. + +4:17. This then I say and testify in the Lord: That henceforward you +walk not as also the Gentiles walk in the vanity of their mind: + +4:18. Having their understanding darkened: being alienated from the life +of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness +of their hearts. + +4:19. Who despairing have given themselves up to lasciviousness, unto +the working of all uncleanness, unto covetousness. + +4:20. But you have not so learned Christ: + +4:21. If so be that you have heard him and have been taught in him, as +the truth is in Jesus: + +4:22. To put off, according to former conversation, the old man, who is +corrupted according to the desire of error. + +4:23. And be renewed in spirit of your mind: + +4:24. And put on the new man, who according to God is created in justice +and holiness of truth. + +4:25. Wherefore, putting away lying, speak ye the truth, every man with +his neighbour. For we are members one of another. + +4:26. Be angry: and sin not. Let not the sun go down upon your anger. + +4:27. Give not place to the devil. + +4:28. He that stole, let him now steal no more: but rather let him +labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have +something to give to him that suffereth need. + +4:29. Let no evil speech proceed from your mouth: but that which is +good, to the edification of faith: that it may administer grace to the +hearers. + +4:30. And grieve not the holy Spirit of God: whereby you are sealed unto +the day of redemption. + +4:31. Let all bitterness and anger and indignation and clamour and +blasphemy be put away from you, with all malice. + +4:32. And be ye kind one to another: merciful, forgiving one another, +even as God hath forgiven you in Christ. + +Ephesians Chapter 5 + +Exhortations to a virtuous life. The mutual duties of man and wife, by +the example of Christ and of the Church. + +5:1. Be ye therefore followers of God, as most dear children: + +5:2. And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us and hath delivered +himself for us, an oblation and a sacrifice to God for an odour of +sweetness. + +5:3. But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not so +much as be named among you, as becometh saints: + +5:4. Or obscenity or foolish talking or scurrility, which is to no +purpose: but rather giving of thanks. + +5:5. For know you this and understand: That no fornicator or unclean or +covetous person (which is a serving of idols) hath inheritance in the +kingdom of Christ and of God. + +5:6. Let no man deceive you with vain words. For because of these things +cometh the anger of God upon the children of unbelief. + +5:7. Be ye not therefore partakers with them. + +5:8. For you were heretofore darkness, but now light in the Lord. Walk +then as children of the light. + +5:9. For the fruit of the light is in all goodness and justice and +truth: + +5:10. Proving what is well pleasing to God. + +5:11. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness: but +rather reprove them. + +5:12. For the things that are done by them in secret, it is a shame even +to speak of. + +5:13. But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: +for all that is made manifest is light. + +5:14. Wherefore he saith: Rise, thou that sleepest, and arise from the +dead: and Christ shall enlighten thee. + +5:15. See therefore, brethren, how you walk circumspectly: not as +unwise, + +5:16. But as wise: redeeming the time, because the days are evil. + +5:17. Wherefore, become not unwise: but understanding what is the will +of God. + +5:18. And be not drunk with wine, wherein is luxury: but be ye filled +with the Holy Spirit, + +5:19. Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual +canticles, singing and making melody in your hearts to the Lord: + +5:20. Giving thanks always for all things, in the name of our Lord Jesus +Christ, to God and the Father: + +5:21. Being subject one to another, in the fear of Christ. + +5:22. Let women be subject to their husbands, as to the Lord: + +5:23. Because the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ is the head +of the church. He is the saviour of his body. + +5:24. Therefore as the church is subject to Christ: so also let the +wives be to their husbands in all things. + +As the church is subject to Christ... The church then, according to St. +Paul, is ever obedient to Christ, and can never fall from him, but +remain faithful to him, unspotted and unchanged to the end of the world. + +5:25. Husbands, love your wives, as Christ also loved the church and +delivered himself up for it: + +5:26. That he might sanctify it, cleansing it by the laver of water in +the word of life: + +5:27. That he might present it to himself, a glorious church, not having +spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and +without blemish. + +5:28. So also ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He +that loveth his wife loveth himself. + +5:29. For no man ever hated his own flesh, but nourisheth and cherisheth +it, as also Christ doth the church: + +5:30. Because we are members of him, body, of his flesh and of his +bones. + +5:31. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother: and shall +cleave to his wife. And they shall be two in one flesh. + +5:32. This is a great sacrament: but I speak in Christ and in the +church. + +5:33. Nevertheless, let every one of you in particular love for his wife +as himself: And let the wife fear her husband. + +Ephesians Chapter 6 + +Duties of children and servants. The Christian's armour. + +6:1. Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is just. + +6:2. Honour thy father and thy mother, which is the first commandment +with a promise: + +6:3. That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest be long lived upon +earth. + +6:4. And you, fathers, provoke not your children to anger: but bring +them up in the discipline and correction of the Lord. + +6:5. Servants, be obedient to them that are your lords according to the +flesh, with fear and trembling, in the simplicity of your heart, as to +Christ. + +6:6. Not serving to the eye, as it were pleasing men: but, as the +servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart. + +6:7. With a good will serving, as to the Lord, and not to men. + +6:8. Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man shall do, the same shall +he receive from the Lord, whether he be bond or free. + +6:9. And you, masters, do the same things to them, forbearing +threatenings: knowing that the Lord both of them and you is in heaven. +And there is no respect of persons with him. + +6:10. Finally, brethren, be strengthened in the Lord and in the might of +his power. + +6:11. Put you on the armour of God, that you may be able to stand +against the deceits of the devil. + +6:12. For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood; but against +principalities and powers, against the rulers of the world of this +darkness, against the spirits of wickedness in the high places. + +High places, or heavenly places... That is to say, in the air, the +lowest of the celestial regions; in which God permits these wicked +spirits or fallen angels to wander. + +6:13. Therefore, take unto you the armour of God, that you may be able +to resist in the evil day and to stand in all things perfect. + +6:14. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth and +having on the breastplate of justice: + +6:15. And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace. + +6:16. In all things taking the shield of faith, wherewith you may be +able to extinguish all the fiery darts of the most wicked one. + +6:17. And take unto you the helmet of salvation and the sword of the +Spirit (which is the word of God). + +6:18. By all prayer and supplication praying at all times in the spirit: +and in the same watching with all instance and supplication for all the +saints: + +6:19. And for me, that speech may be given me, that I may open my mouth +with confidence, to make known the mystery of the gospel, + +6:20. For which I am an ambassador in a chain: so that therein I may be +bold to speak according as I ought. + +6:21. But that you also may know the things that concern me and what I +am doing, Tychicus, my dearest brother and faithful minister in the +Lord, will make known to you all things: + +6:22. Whom I have sent to you for this same purpose: that you may know +the things concerning us, and that he may comfort your hearts. + +6:23. Peace be to the brethren and charity with faith, from God the +Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. + +6:24. Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in +incorruption. Amen. + +In incorruption... That is, with a pure and perfect love. + + + + + +*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK, THE BIBLE, DOUAY-RHEIMS, BOOK 56 *** + +*********** This file should be named 8356.txt or 8356.zip *********** + +Produced by David Widger + +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.
