and submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ.

But you did not learn about Christ like this,

But now in Christ Jesus you who used to be far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

From Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, to the saints [in Ephesus], the faithful in Christ Jesus.

Blessed is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms in Christ.

Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!

so that we, who were the first to set our hope on Christ, would be to the praise of his glory.

and he raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,

For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles –

This was according to the eternal purpose that he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord,

that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, so that, because you have been rooted and grounded in love,

to equip the saints for the work of ministry, that is, to build up the body of Christ,

Peace to the brothers and sisters, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Grace be with all of those who love our Lord Jesus Christ with an undying love.

He did this by predestining us to adoption as his sons through Jesus Christ, according to the pleasure of his will –

This power he exercised in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms

even though we were dead in transgressions, made us alive together with Christ – by grace you are saved! –

because you have been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the cornerstone.

When reading this, you will be able to understand my insight into this secret of Christ.

namely, that through the gospel the Gentiles are fellow heirs, fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus.
