¹ Paul an Apostle of Iesus Christ by the will of God, to the Saincts which are at Ephesus, and to the faithfull in Christ Iesus.

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

³ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Iesus Christ, who hath blessed vs with all spirituall blessings in heauenly places in Christ:

⁴ According as he hath chosen vs in him, before the foundation of the world, that wee should bee holy, and without blame before him in loue:

⁵ Hauing predestinated vs vnto the adoption of children by Iesus Christ to himselfe, according to the good pleasure of his will:

⁶ To the praise of the glorie of his grace, wherein he hath made vs accepted in the beloued:

⁷ In whom wee haue redemption through his blood, the forgiuenesse of sinnes, according to the riches of his grace,

⁸ Wherein hee hath abounded toward vs in all wisedome and prudence:

⁹ Hauing made knowen vnto vs the mysterie of his will, according to his good pleasure, which he had purposed in himselfe,

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

¹¹ In whom also we haue obteined an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsell of his owne will:

¹² That we should be to the praise of his glorie, who first trusted in Christ.

¹³ In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of trueth, the Gospel of your saluation: in whom also after that yee beleeued, yee were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

¹⁴ Which is the earnest of our inheritance, vntill the redemption of the purchased possession, vnto the praise of his glorie.

¹⁵ Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Iesus, and loue vnto all the Saints,

¹⁶ Cease not to giue thankes for you, making mention of you in my prayers,

¹⁷ That the God of our Lord Iesus Christ the Father of glorie, may giue vnto you the Spirit of wisedome and reuelation in the knowledge of him:

¹⁸ The eyes of your vnderstanding being inlightned: that yee may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glorie of his inheritance in the Saints:

¹⁹ And what is the exceeding greatnesse of his power to vs-ward who beleeue, according to the working of his mightie power:

²⁰ Which he wrought in Christ when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his owne right hand in the heauenly places,

²¹ Farre aboue all principalitie, and power, and might, and dominion, and euery name that is named, not onely in this world, but also in that which is to come:

²² And hath put all things vnder his feete, and gaue him to be the head ouer all things to the Church,

²³ Which is his body, the fulnesse of him that filleth all in all.

Biodun Williams's Ephesians Chapter 1 comment on 3/09/2013, 2:26pm...

The Word of God is the will of God, and where there is a will there is a way. This letter of Paul to the Ephesians has always been a great blessing to me, and that has been through several times. In this commencement of Ephesians 1, Paul affirms that God has blessed us with all spiritual blessings, in the heavenly places. And that connotes that as Christians, we should not fight one another. And that is because godliness does not fight godliness, neither does righteousness fight righteousness. As a matter of fact, looking at it very well, they are meant to complement one another. And If you don’t know what God has been doing, or that he has done, in and through another, then you can’t fall into assumption and think that is appropriate. And that is one of the reason why Paul wrote the way he did, to remind us, as saints and believers, that we are already blessed. And if we are blessed, then what is the fight with others that are in in the things of the Holy Spirit? Honestly, if we know who we are as individuals, in the LORD, based on the covenant we won’t get into any fight with one another. What we have been called into is to fight the good fight of faith. He did not say that we should end the good fight of faith. Some of us perhaps, instead of reflecting on the Word of God, are reflecting on the letters of the Word, and that is not right. As matter of fact, you can’t talk about others carelessly or anyhow, that is because righteousness has it’s semblance from the Holy Spirit and does not do whatever he likes. And hence the import of true discernment. The truth is God does not reveal His secrets to His enemies, therefore the carnal nature is an enemy of His creature. If we are truly saints, then sanctity and uprightness have been imputed in us through the Holy Spirit. I thank the LORD, that I know who I’m, in Christ Jesus. and that is through the grace of God that has been bestowed upon me. And that is what stirs me up, into rejoicing, in the Holy Spirit; for it is not by power nor by might but by the Spirit of God. You see, where there is no true fellowship, there can’t be genuine relationship. And hence you can’t expect real friendship, in that type of situation. I believe that is worthy of note. And that is because, every relationship that must stand the test of time, must be first based on love and truth. On a personal note, I love the Word of God and that is the reason for this; and truthfully in all genuineness, I have never seen anything like the things of the Holy Spirit before in all my entire life. God is good and He is forever faithful. Therefore it is imperative we have total dependency on Him and His dictates.

Jean's Ephesians Chapter 1 comment on 3/05/2013, 10:02pm...

Ephesians 1:17-20, these 3 positions offer us the spirit of wisdom, revelation, knowledge and understanding if we know our positions in Christ. The hope of our calling is heirs. We are justified in this position as sons and have heavenly birthrights, thus the "ring" of the prodigal son. "Our inheritance" is our adoption as the "eldest son" under the Abrahamic covenant. In this position we are "sanctified" and have earthly birthrights, the "shoes" of the prodigal son. Seated in Christ. The third position is the position of "knowledge for" healing. We are royal priests in the body of Christ; this is our position of "our power". Putting on Christ in his full stature (power, Acts 2), we are a sweet savour of Christ; and he cannot deny himself...we have "priestly" birthrights", 2 Peter 2:9. This is the "robe" of the prodigal and we come before the father as a church; head and body of Christ with "all power and all authority of Christ. Standing in his image (holy spirit) pure, clean and holy without spot or blemish. So call the elders (pastor and men) and have people healed, a church that is a spiritual Christ, before the father.

Ephesians 1 is an interesting study! Studying with Shepherd's Chapel, with Pastors Arnold and Dennis Murray makes the entire bible easy to understand.

Ray D's Ephesians Chapter 1 comment about verse 11 on 2/14/2013, 2:21am...

I found Ephesians 1:11 to be a pretty tough study! I mean when you get into inheritance and predestination whoever thinks, that is easy studying I commend you.

RBurch's Ephesians Chapter 1 comment on 1/30/2013, 10:59am...

Ephesians 1 just confirms in my heart and soul that my Lord and Savior is in total control. This chapter tells me that had he not have chosen me I would never have chosen him. Predestination and election are very difficult concepts for our finite minds to comprehend, nevertheless they are the word of God and I thank and praise him for it. Thank you LORD for saving me!
