1From Paul, chosen by God to be an apostle of Christ Jesus. To God's people who live in Ephesus and are faithful followers of Christ Jesus.

2I pray that God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ will be kind to you and will bless you with peace!

3Praise the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ for the spiritual blessings that Christ has brought us from heaven!

4Before the world was created, God had Christ choose us to live with him and to be his holy and innocent and loving people.

5God was kind and decided that Christ would choose us to be God's own adopted children.

6God was very kind to us because of the Son he dearly loves, and so we should praise God.

7Christ sacrificed his life's blood to set us free, which means that our sins are now forgiven. Christ did this because God was so kind to us. God has great wisdom and understanding,

8(1:7)

9and by what Christ has done, God has shown us his own mysterious ways.

10Then when the time is right, God will do all that he has planned, and Christ will bring together everything in heaven and on earth.

11God always does what he plans, and that's why he appointed Christ to choose us.

12He did this so that we Jews would bring honour to him and be the first ones to have hope because of him.

13Christ also brought you the truth, which is the good news about how you can be saved. You put your faith in Christ and were given the promised Holy Spirit to show that you belong to God.

14The Spirit also makes us sure that we will be given what God has stored up for his people. Then we will be set free, and God will be honoured and praised.

Paul's prayer

15I have heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all God's people.

16So I never stop being grateful for you, as I mention you in my prayers.

17I ask the glorious Father and God of our Lord Jesus Christ to give you his Spirit. The Spirit will make you wise and let you understand what it means to know God.

18My prayer is that light will flood your hearts and that you will understand the hope that was given to you when God chose you. Then you will discover the glorious blessings that will be yours together with all God's people.

19I want you to know about the great and mighty power that God has for us followers. It is the same wonderful power he used

20when he raised Christ from death and let him sit at his right side in heaven.

21There Christ rules over all forces, authorities, powers, and rulers. He rules over all beings in this world and will rule in the future world as well.

22God has put all things under the power of Christ, and for the good of the church he has made him the head of everything.

23The church is Christ's body and is filled with Christ who completely fills everything.
