| 1:1 | 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: |
| 1:2 | Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. |
| 1:3 | Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: |
| 1:4 | 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: |
| 1:5 | Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, |
| 1:6 | To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. |
| 1:7 | In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; |
| 1:8 | Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; |
| 1:9 | Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: |
| 1:9 | 都是照他自己所豫定的美意、叫我們知道他旨意的奧秘、 |
| 1:9 | 都是照他自己所豫定的美意，叫我们知道他旨意的奥秘， |
| phl:2:13 | For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. |
| rom:8:28 | And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. |
| rom:9:11 | (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;) |
| eph:3:11 | According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord: |
| rom:16:25 | Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began, |
| eph:3:3 | How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words, |
| eph:3:4 | Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ) |
| eph:3:9 | And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: |
| COBL | |
| 1:10 | That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: |
| 1:11 | In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: |
| 1:12 | That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. |
| 1:13 | 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, |
| 1:14 | Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory. |
| 1:15 | Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, |
| 1:16 | Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; |
| 1:17 | 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: |
| 1:18 | 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, |
| 1:19 | And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, |
| 1:20 | Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, |
| 1:21 | Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: |
| 1:22 | And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, |
| 1:23 | Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all. |
