1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, to all the saints who are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus. 1:2 Grace be to you, and peace from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. 1:3 Blessed by the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with spiritual blessings in heavenly places, in Christ:
1:4 As he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and unspotted in his sight in charity.
