Ephesians

1Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, to the saints who are at Ephesus, and the faithful in Christ Jesus:

2Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,

4even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and without defect before him in love,

5having predestined us for adoption as children through Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his desire,
