49:001:001 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus:
49:001:002 Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
49:001:003 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who
hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly
places in Christ:
49:001:004 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of
the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him
in love:
49:001:005 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus
Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
49:001:006 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made
us accepted in the beloved.
49:001:007 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness
of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
49:001:008 Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;
49:001:009 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:
49:001:010 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might

49:001:013 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
49:001:014 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption
of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
49:001:015 Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord
Jesus, and love unto all the saints,
49:001:016 Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my
prayers;
49:001:017 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory,
may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the
knowledge of him:
49:001:018 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may
know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of
the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
49:001:019 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward
who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,
49:001:020 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the
