The Fullness of Christ
Ephesians 1

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,
Grace be to you and peace from God our Father,
And from the Lord Jesus Christ.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Who has blessed us with all spiritual blessings,
In heavenly places in Christ,
According as he has chosen us in Him,
Before the foundation of the world,
That we should be holy and without blame before Him in love.

Having predestinated us to the adoption of children,
By Jesus Christ to himself,
To the praise of the glory of His grace,
Made us accepted in the beloved,
In whom we have redemption through his blood,
The forgiveness of sins according to the riches of his grace.

Having made known to us the mystery of His will,
That in the dispensation of the fullness of times,
He might gather together in one, all things in Christ,
Both which are in heaven and which are in the earth in Him.

In whom we also have obtained an inheritance,
Being pre-destinated according to the purpose of Him,
Who worketh all things according to the council of his own will.
That we should be to the praise of His glory,
Who first trusted in Christ.

In whom you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth,
When you believed you were sealed,
With that Holy Spirit of promise,
Unto the praise of His glory,
Wherefore after I heard of your faith,
In the Lord Jesus, and love to all the saints,
Cease not to give thanks for you,
Making mention of you in my prayers.

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,
The eyes of your understanding,
Being enlightened that you may know,
The hope of His calling,
The riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints.

And the exceeding greatness of His power,
To us who believe, according to the working,
Of His mighty power,
Which He wrought in Christ,
When he raised him from the dead,
And set him at his right hand,
In heavenly places, far above all principality,
And power and might and dominion,
And every name that is named in this world,
And also in that which is to come.

And has put all things under his feet,
And gave him to be the head over all things,
To the church, which is His Body,
The fullness of Him that filleth all in all.
To the church, which is His Body,
The fullness of Him that filleth all in all.
