Ephesians 1

NEW JERUSALEM	GREEK BIBLE
1 Paul, by the will of God an apostle of Christ Jesus, to God's holy people, faithful in Christ Jesus.	1 Παυλος, αποστολος Ιησου Χριστου δια θεληματος Θεου, προς τους αγιους τους οντας εν Εφεσω και πιστους εν Χριστω Ιησου?
2 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.	2 χαρις ειη υμιν και ειρηνη απο Θεου Πατρος ημων και Κυριου Ιησου Χριστου.
3 Blessed be God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with all the spiritual blessingsof heaven in Christ.	3 Ευλογητος ο Θεος και Πατηρ του Κυριου ημων Ιησου Χριστου, ο ευλογησας ημας εν παση ευλογια πνευματικη εις τα επουρανια δια Χριστου,
4 Thus he chose us in Christ before the world was made to be holy and faultless before him in love,	4 καθως εξελεξεν ημας δι' αυτου προ καταβολης κοσμου, δια να ημεθα αγιοι και αμωμοι ενωπιον αυτου δια της αγαπης,
5 marking us out for himself beforehand, to be adopted sons, through Jesus Christ. Such was hispurpose and good pleasure,	5 προορισας ημας εις υιοθεσιαν δια Ιησου Χριστου εις εαυτον, κατα την ευδοκιαν του θεληματος αυτου,
6 to the praise of the glory of his grace, his free gift to us in the Beloved,	6 εις επαινον της δοξης της χαριτος αυτου, με την οποιαν εχαριτωσεν ημας δια του ηγαπημενου αυτου,
7 in whom, through his blood, we gain our freedom, the forgiveness of our sins. Such is the richness ofthe grace	7 δια του οποιου εχομεν την απολυτρωσιν δια του αιματος αυτου, την αφεσιν των αμαρτηματων, κατα τον πλουτον της χαριτος αυτου,
8 which he has showered on us in al wisdom and insight.	8 καθ' ην επερισσευσεν εις ημας εν παση σοφια και φρονησει,
9 He has let us know the mystery of his purpose, according to his good pleasure which he determinedbeforehand in Christ,	9 γνωστοποιησας εις ημας το μυστηριον του θεληματος αυτου κατα την ευδοκιαν αυτου, την οποιαν προεθετο εν εαυτω,
10 for him to act upon when the times had run their course: that he would bring everything together underChrist, as head, everything in the heavens and everything on earth.	10 εις οικονομιαν του πληρωματος των καιρων, να συγκεφαλαιωση τα παντα εν τω Χριστω και τα εν τοις ουρανοις και τα επι της γης.
11 And it is in him that we have received our heritage, marked out beforehand as we were, under the planof the One who guides al things as he decides by his own wil ,	11 Εν αυτω, εις τον οποιον και ελαβομεν κληρονομιαν, προορισθεντες κατα την προθεσιν του ενεργουντος τα παντα κατα την βουλην του θεληματος αυτου,
12 chosen to be, for the praise of his glory, the people who would put their hopes in Christ before hecame.	12 δια να ημεθα εις επαινον της δοξης αυτου ημεις οι προελπισαντες εις τον Χριστον?
13 Now you too, in him, have heard the message of the truth and the gospel of your salvation, and havingput your trust in it you have been stamped with the seal of the Holy Spirit of the Promise,	13 εις τον οποιον και σεις ηλπισατε, ακουσαντες τον λογον της αληθειας, το ευαγγελιον της σωτηριας σας, εις τον οποιον και πιστευσαντες εσφραγισθητε με το Πνευμα το Αγιον της επαγγελιας,
14 who is the pledge of our inheritance, for the freedom of the people whom God has taken for his own,for the praise of his glory.	14 οστις ειναι ο αρραβων της κληρονομιας ημων, μεχρι της απολυτρωσεως του αποκτηθεντος λαου αυτου, εις επαινον της δοξης αυτου.
15 That is why I, having once heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus, and your love for al God's holypeople,	15 Δια τουτο και εγω, ακουσας την εις τον Κυριον Ιησουν πιστιν σας και την εις παντας τους αγιους αγαπην,
16 have never failed to thank God for you and to remember you in my prayers.	16 δεν παυομαι ευχαριστων τον Θεον υπερ υμων, μνημονευων υμας εν ταις προσευχαις μου,
17 May the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, give you a spirit of wisdom and perceptionof what is revealed, to bring you to ful knowledge of him.	17 δια να σας δωση ο Θεος του Κυριου ημων Ιησου Χριστου, ο Πατηρ της δοξης, πνευμα σοφιας και αποκαλυψεως εις επιγνωσιν αυτου,
18 May he enlighten the eyes of your mind so that you can see what hope his cal holds for you, how richis the glory of the heritage he offers among his holy people,	18 ωστε να φωτισθωσιν οι οφθαλμοι του νοος σας, εις το να γνωρισητε ποια ειναι η ελπις της προσκλησεως αυτου, και τις ο πλουτος της δοξης της κληρονομιας αυτου εις τους αγιους,
19 and how extraordinarily great is the power that he has exercised for us believers; this accords with thestrength of his power	19 και τι το υπερβαλλον μεγεθος της δυναμεως αυτου προς ημας τους πιστευοντας κατα την ενεργειαν του κρατους της ισχυος αυτου,
20 at work in Christ, the power which he exercised in raising him from the dead and enthroning him at hisright hand, in heaven,	20 την οποιαν ενηργησεν εν τω Χριστω, αναστησας αυτον εκ νεκρων, και εκαθισεν εκ δεξιων αυτου εν τοις επουρανιοις,
21 far above every principality, ruling force, power or sovereignty, or any other name that can be named,not only in this age but also in the age to come.	21 υπερανω πασης αρχης και εξουσιας και δυναμεως και κυριοτητος και παντος ονοματος ονομαζομενου ου μονον εν τω αιωνι τουτω, αλλα και εν τω μελλοντι?
22 He has put al things under his feet, and made him, as he is above all things, the head of the Church;	22 και παντα υπεταξεν υπο τους ποδας αυτου, και εδωκεν αυτον κεφαλην υπερανω παντων εις την εκκλησιαν,
23 which is his Body, the ful ness of him who is fil ed, al in al .	23 ητις ειναι το σωμα αυτου, το πληρωμα του τα παντα εν πασι πληρουντος.
