以弗所书 1
问安
1 照着神的旨意做基督耶稣使徒的保罗，
致住在以弗所的t圣徒，就是在基督耶稣里的信徒们t：
2 愿恩典与平安从神我们的父和主耶稣基督临到你们！
神丰盛的恩典
3 愿颂赞归于神——我们主耶稣基督的父！他在基督里，以天上各样属灵的福气祝福了我们，4 就如他从创世以前，在基督里拣选了我们，使我们在他面前成为圣洁、毫无瑕疵。他在爱中t，5 照着自己心愿的美意，预定我们藉着耶稣基督得着儿子的名份，归于他自己，6 归于t他恩典荣耀的称赞t，这恩典是他在爱子里特别赐给我们的。
7 在他里面，我们藉着他的血，得蒙救赎、过犯得到赦免，都是出于神恩典的丰盛。8 神以一切的智慧和聪明，使这恩典丰丰富富地临到我们，9 照着他在基督里预先定下的美意，让我们明白了他旨意的奥秘，10 到了那计划t日期满足的时候，就使天上和地上的万有，都包含在基督里。
11 在基督里，我们也得了继业t，是照着那一位的心意而预先定下的，他按着自己旨意的计划来运作万事，12 以致我们这些早已在基督里有盼望的人，能归于t他荣耀的称赞t。
13 在基督t里，你们也听从了真理的话语，就是那使你们得救的福音，并且信了基督，就蒙了所应许的圣灵为印记。14 圣灵是我们得继业的预付凭据t，直到属神的子民t得赎，归于t他荣耀的称赞t。
为属灵的见识祷告
15 为此，我既然也听说了有关你们对主耶稣的信仰，以及对所有圣徒的爱心，16 就不断地为你们献上感谢，在祷告中提到你们，17 愿我们主耶稣基督的神——荣耀的父，赐给你们智慧和启示的灵t，使你们能真正地认识他。18 我也求神照亮你们心中t的t眼睛，使你们知道：属他召唤的盼望到底是什么；在圣徒中间，他继业荣耀的丰盛到底是什么；19 并且在我们这些相信之人的身上，照着他力量的权能作为，他能力的无限伟大到底是什么。
神在基督里的能力
20 神曾将这能力运作在基督的身上，使基督从死人中复活，并且使他在天上坐在自己的右边，21 远远高过一切统治的、掌权的、有势力的、有主权的，和一切被称的名号，不仅在这世代，而且也在那将要来临的世代。22 神又使万有都服从在基督的脚下，t使基督为教会做了超越万有的元首t。23 教会是他的身体，是在万有中充满t万有的那一位的丰盛完美。
