Ephesians 1

¹Pavl an Apostle of Jesvs Christ by the will of God, to the Saints, which are at Ephesus, and to ye faithfull in Christ Iesus:

²Grace be with you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ.

³Blessed be God, and the Father of our Lord Iesus Christ, which hath blessed vs with all spirituall blessing in heauenly thinges in Christ,

⁴As hee hath chosen vs in him, before the foundation of the worlde, that we should be holy, and without blame before him in loue:

⁵Who hath predestinate vs, to be adopted through Iesus Christ in him selfe, according to the good pleasure of his will,

⁶To the prayse of the glory of his grace, wherewith he hath made vs freely accepted in his beloued,

⁷By whom we haue redemption through his blood, euen the forgiuenes of sinnes, according to his rich grace:

⁸Whereby he hath bene aboundant toward vs in all wisedome and vnderstanding,

⁹And hath opened vnto vs the mysterie of his will according to his good pleasure, which he had purposed in him,

¹⁰That in the dispensation of the fulnesse of the times, he might gather together in one all things, both which are in heauen, and which are in earth, euen in Christ:

¹¹In whom also we are chosen when we were predestinate according to ye purpose of him, which worketh all things after the counsell of his owne will,

¹²That we, which first trusted in Christ, should be vnto the praise of his glorie:
