1 我是奉上帝旨意做基督耶稣使徒的保罗,写信给以弗所忠于基督耶稣的众圣徒。2 愿我们的父上帝和主耶稣基督赐给你们恩典和平安!3 赞美我们主耶稣基督的父上帝!祂在基督里赐给了我们天上各样属灵的恩福。4 早在创造世界以前,祂已经在基督里拣选了我们,使我们在祂眼中成为圣洁无瑕的人。5 上帝因为爱我们,就按照祂自己美好的旨意,预定我们借着耶稣基督得到做祂儿女的名分。6 我们赞美祂奇妙无比的恩典,这恩典是上帝借着祂的爱子赐给我们的。7 我们借着祂爱子的血蒙救赎,过犯得到赦免,这都是出于祂的洪恩。8 上帝用各种智慧和聪明把这恩典丰丰富富地赐给我们,9 照着祂在基督里所定的美好计划叫我们知道祂旨意的奥秘,10 等所定的时候一到,叫天地万物一同归在基督的名下。11 我们也在基督里被拣选成为祂的子民。这都是按自己旨意行万事的上帝预先定下的计划,12 好让我们这些首先在基督里得到盼望的人都来颂赞祂的荣耀。13 你们听过真理之道,就是那使你们得救的福音,而且也信了基督。你们既然信祂,就领受了上帝应许赐下的圣灵为印记。14 圣灵是我们领受产业的担保,直到上帝的子民得到救赎,使祂的荣耀受到颂赞。15 我听到你们对主耶稣的信心和对众圣徒的爱心后,16 不断地为你们感谢上帝,祷告的时候常常提到你们。17 我求我们主耶稣基督的上帝——荣耀的父把赐智慧和启示的灵给你们,好使你们更深地认识祂。18 我也求上帝照亮你们心中的眼睛,使你们知道祂的呼召给你们带来了何等的盼望,祂应许赐给众圣徒的产业有何等丰富的荣耀,19 并且祂在我们这些信的人身上所运行的能力是何等浩大。20 上帝曾用这大能使基督从死里复活,使基督在天上坐在自己右边,21 远远超越今生永世所有执政的、掌权的、有能力的、做主宰的和一切的权势。22 祂又使万物降服在基督脚下,使基督为教会做万物的元首。23 教会是基督的身体,蕴涵着那无所不在、充满万物者的丰盛。

1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, To the saints who are in Ephesus, and are faithful[1] in Christ Jesus: (林前1:1; 林后1:1; 西1:2)2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. (羅1:7)3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, (羅15:6; 林后1:3; 弗1:20; 弗2:6; 弗3:10; 弗6:12; 彼前1:3)4 even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love (申7:6; 申26:18; 太13:35; 弗2:10; 弗5:27; 西1:22; 帖前4:7; 帖后2:13; 提后1:9; 雅2:5; 彼前1:2)5 he predestined us[2] for adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, (路2:14; 路12:32; 羅8:15; 羅8:29; 弗1:9; 弗1:11; 來2:4)6 to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved. (太3:17; 约3:35; 约10:17; 弗1:12; 弗1:14; 西1:13)7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, (徒2:38; 徒20:28; 羅2:4; 羅3:24; 林前1:30; 弗3:8; 弗3:16; 弗4:30; 西1:14; 西1:27)8 which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight9 making known[3] to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ (羅8:28; 羅9:11; 羅16:25; 弗1:5; 弗1:11)10 as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth. (可1:15; 弗3:15; 腓2:9; 西1:16; 西1:20)11 In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will, (申4:20; 申32:9; 徒20:27; 羅8:28; 弗1:5; 弗1:14; 弗3:11; 启4:11)12 so that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be to the praise of his glory. (弗1:6; 弗1:14; 腓1:11)13 In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, (徒1:4; 徒13:26; 徒15:7; 林后6:7; 弗4:30; 西1:5; 提后2:15)14 who is the guarantee[4] of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it,[5] to the praise of his glory. (徒20:32; 林后1:22; 弗1:6; 弗1:7; 弗1:12; 弗1:18; 多2:14; 彼前2:9)15 For this reason, because I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love[6] toward all the saints, (羅1:8; 西1:4; 门1:5)16 I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers, (羅1:9; 西1:9; 提后1:3)17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him, (羅15:6; 西1:9)18 having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, (徒26:18; 弗1:7; 弗2:12; 弗3:8; 弗3:16; 弗4:4; 西1:27; 來6:4; 來10:32; 启3:17)19 and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might (但4:30; 弗3:7; 弗6:10; 腓3:21; 西1:29; 西2:12)20 that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, (可16:19; 徒2:24; 徒2:33; 弗1:3; 彼前3:22)21 far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. (太12:32; 约3:31; 林前15:24; 弗3:15; 弗4:10; 腓2:9; 西2:10; 來1:4)22 And he put all things under his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church, (诗8:6; 林前11:3; 林前15:27; 弗4:15; 弗5:23; 西1:18; 西2:10; 西2:19)23 which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all. (耶23:24; 约1:16; 林前12:27; 弗3:19; 弗4:10; 弗4:12; 弗4:16; 弗5:23; 弗5:30; 西1:18; 西1:24; 西3:11)
