Paul, an Apostle of Christ Jesus by the purpose of God, to the saints who are at Ephesus, and those who have faith in Christ Jesus:
For this cause I, having had news of the faith in the Lord Jesus which is among you, and which you make clear to all the saints,
That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him;
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has given us every blessing of the Spirit in the heavens in Christ:
As we were designed before by him for the position of sons to himself, through Jesus Christ, in the good pleasure of his purpose,
For by his act we were given existence in Christ Jesus to do those good works which God before made ready for us so that we might do them.
But now in Christ Jesus you who at one time were far off are made near in the blood of Christ.
Resting on the base of the Apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief keystone,
So that we came back from death with him, and are seated with him in the heavens, in Christ Jesus;
That in the time to come he might make clear the full wealth of his grace in his mercy to us in Christ Jesus:
For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you Gentiles,
Which is seen in his eternal purpose in Christ Jesus our Lord:
To him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations for ever and ever. So be it.
If in fact you gave ear to him, and were given teaching in him, even as what is true is made clear in Jesus:
Giving praise at all times for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to God, even the Father;
Peace be to the brothers, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Grace be with all those who have true love for our Lord Jesus Christ.
Paul, an Apostle (not from men, and not through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who made him come back from the dead),
For I did not get it from man, and I was not given teaching in it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus Christ.
Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ,
Being conscious that a man does not get righteousness by the works of the law, but through faith in Jesus Christ, we had faith in Christ Jesus, so that we might get righteousness by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law: because by the works of the law will no flesh get righteousness.
And that because of the false brothers let in secretly, who came searching out our free condition which we have in Christ Jesus, so that they might make servants of us;
O foolish Galatians, by what strange powers have you been tricked, to whom it was made clear that Jesus Christ was put to death on the cross?
So that on the Gentiles might come the blessing of Abraham in Christ Jesus; in order that we through faith might have the Spirit which God had undertaken to give.
However, the holy Writings have put all things under sin, so that that for which God gave the undertaking, based on faith in Jesus Christ, might be given to those who have such faith.
Because you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.
There is no Jew or Greek, servant or free, male or female: because you are all one in Jesus Christ.
And you did not have a poor opinion of me because of the trouble in my flesh, or put shame on it; but you took me to your hearts as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.
Because in Christ Jesus, having circumcision or not having circumcision are equally of no profit; but only faith working through love.
But far be it from me to have glory in anything, but only in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which this world has come to an end on the cross for me, and I for it.
From this time on let no man be a trouble to me; because my body is marked with the marks of Jesus.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. So be it.
By that pleasure we have been made holy, by the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once and for ever.
But when Jesus had made one offering for sins for ever, he took his place at the right hand of God;
So then, my brothers, being able to go into the holy place without fear, because of the blood of Jesus,
Having our eyes fixed on Jesus, the guide and end of our faith, who went through the pains of the cross, not caring for the shame, because of the joy which was before him, and who has now taken his place at the right hand of God's seat of power.
And to Jesus by whom the new agreement has been made between God and man, and to the sign of the blood which says better things than Abel's blood.
For this reason Jesus was put to death outside the walls, so that he might make the people holy by his blood.
Now may the God of peace, who made that great keeper of his flock, even our Lord Jesus, come back from the dead through the blood of the eternal agreement,
Make you full of every good work and ready to do all his desires, working in us whatever is pleasing in his eyes through Jesus Christ; and may the glory be given to him for ever and ever. So be it.
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and for ever.
But we see him who was made a little lower than the angels, even Jesus, crowned with glory and honour, because he let himself be put to death so that by the grace of God he might undergo death for all men.
For this reason, holy brothers, marked out to have a part in heaven, give thought to Jesus the representative and high priest of our faith;
Having then a great high priest, who has made his way through the heavens, even Jesus the Son of God, let us be strong in our faith.
Where Jesus has gone before us, as a high priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.
By so much is it a better agreement which we have through Jesus.
James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, sends words of love to the twelve tribes of the Jews living in all parts of the earth.
My brothers, if you have the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ of glory, do not take a man's position into account.
And Jesus was walking in the Temple, in Solomon's covered way.
