以弗所书 1
问候
1 奉 神旨意，作基督耶稣使徒的保罗，写信给在以弗所的圣徒，就是在基督耶稣里有忠心的人。 2 愿恩惠、平安从 神我们的父和主耶稣基督归与你们！
基督里的属灵福气
3 愿颂赞归与我们主耶稣基督的父 神！他在基督里曾赐给我们天上各样属灵的福气： 4 就如 神从创立世界以前，在基督里拣选了我们，使我们在他面前成为圣洁，无有瑕疵； 5 又因爱我们，就按着自己的意旨所喜悦的，预定我们借着耶稣基督得儿子的名分， 6 使他荣耀的恩典得着称赞；这恩典是他在爱子里所赐给我们的。 7 我们借这爱子的血得蒙救赎，过犯得以赦免，乃是照他丰富的恩典。 8 这恩典是 神用诸般智慧聪明，充充足足赏给我们的； 9 都是照他自己所预定的美意，叫我们知道他旨意的奥秘， 10 要照所安排的，在日期满足的时候，使天上、地上、一切所有的都在基督里面同归于一。 11 我们也在他里面得t了基业；这原是那位随己意行、做万事的，照着他旨意所预定的， 12 叫他的荣耀从我们这首先在基督里有盼望的人可以得着称赞。 13 你们既听见真理的道，就是那叫你们得救的福音，也信了基督，既然信他，就受了所应许的圣灵为印记。 14 这圣灵是我们得基业的凭据t，直等到 神之民t被赎，使他的荣耀得着称赞。
保罗的祷告
15 因此，我既听见你们信从主耶稣，亲爱众圣徒， 16 就为你们不住地感谢 神。祷告的时候，常提到你们， 17 求我们主耶稣基督的 神，荣耀的父，将那赐人智慧和启示的灵赏给你们，使你们真知道他， 18 并且照明你们心中的眼睛，使你们知道他的恩召有何等指望，他在圣徒中得的基业有何等丰盛的荣耀； 19 并知道他向我们这信的人所显的能力是何等浩大， 20 就是照他在基督身上所运行的大能大力，使他从死里复活，叫他在天上坐在自己的右边， 21 远超过一切执政的、掌权的、有能的、主治的，和一切有名的；不但是今世的，连来世的也都超过了。 22 又将万有服在他的脚下，使他为教会作万有之首。 23 教会是他的身体，是那充满万有者所充满的。
