11Greetings from Paul, an apostle* of ChristJesus. I am an apostle because that is what

God wanted.To Gods holy people* living in Ephesus,1 beli-

evers who belong to Christ Jesus.2Grace* and peace to you from God our Father

and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Spiritual Blessings in Christ3Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord

Jesus Christ. In Christ, God has given us everyspiritual blessing in heaven. 4In Christ, he choseus before the world was made. He chose us inlove to be his holy people*people who couldstand before him without any fault. 5And beforethe world was made, God decided to make us hisown children through Jesus Christ. This was whatGod wanted, and it pleased him to do it. 6And thisbrings praise to God because of his wonderfulgrace.* God gave that grace to us freely. He gaveus that grace in Christ, the one he loves.

7

In Christ we are made free by his blood sacri-fice. We have forgiveness of sins because ofGods rich grace. 8God gave us that grace fullyand freely. With full wisdom and understanding,9he let us know his secret plan. This was whatGod wanted, and he planned to do it throughChrist. 10Gods goal was to finish his plan whenthe right time came. He planned that all things inheaven and on earth be joined together with Christas the head.

11In Christ we were chosen to be Gods people.God had already planned for us to be his people,because that is what he wanted. And he is the onewho makes everything agree with what he decidesand wants. 12We Jews were the first to hope inChrist. And we were chosen so that we wouldbring praise to God in all his glory.* 13It is thesame with you. You heard the true message, theGood News* about your salvation. When youheard that Good News, you believed in Christ.

And in Christ, God put his special mark on you bygiving you the Holy Spirit* that he promised.14The Spirit is the first payment that guaranteeswe will get all that God has for us. Then we will

enjoy complete freedom as people who belong tohim. The goal for all of us is the praise of God inall his glory.

Pauls Prayer1516That is why I always remember you in my

prayers and thank God for you. I have done thisever since I heard about your faith in the LordJesus and your love for all of Gods people. 17Ialways pray to the great and glorious Father, theGod of our Lord Jesus Christ. I pray that he willgive you the Spirit,* who will let you know truthsabout God and help you understand them, so thatyou will know him better.

18I pray that God will open your minds to seehis truth. Then you will know the hope that he haschosen us to have. You will know that the bles-sings God has promised his holy people* are richand glorious. 19And you will know that Godspower is very great for us who believe. Thatpower is the same as the great strength 20that Godused to raise Christ from death. He put Christ athis right side in the heavenly places. 21God madeChrist more important than all rulers, authorities,powers, and kings. Christ is more important thananything that has power in this world or in thenext world. 22God put everything under Christs

power and made him head over everything for thechurch.* 23The church is Christs body. It is filledw it h hi m. H e ma kes ev er yt hi ng com ple te inevery way.

From Death to Life

21I n th e past, you were sp ir itu all y deadbecause of your sins and the things you did

against God. 2Yes, in the past your lives were fullof those sins. You lived the way the world lives,following the ruler of the evil powers* over the

earth. That same spirit is now working in thosewho refuse to obey God. 3In the past, all of uslived like that, trying to please our sinful selves.We did all the things our bodies and mindswanted. Like everyone else in the world, we des-erved to suffer Gods anger just because of theway we were.

harul lui Dumnezeu a^i fost mntui^i.6

Ea a venit caun dar de la Dumnezeu, 9`i nu prin fapte,pentru ca s nu se laude nimeni. 10Noisuntem lucrarea minilor lui Dumnezeu. Elne-a creat n Cristos Isus, pentru faptelebune pe care El le-a pregtit mai dinainte,pentru ca noi s le mplinim n via^a noastr.

1 2:11 uncircumcised People not having the mark of circumcision likethe Jews have. 22:12 agreements The agreements with special pro-mises that God gave at various times to people in the Old Testament.See agreement in the Word List.

4But God is rich in mercy, and he loved usvery much. 5We were spiritually dead because ofall we had done against him. But he gave us newlife together with Christ. (You have been saved

by Gods grace.*)6

Yes, it is because we are apart of Christ Jesus that God raised us fromdeath and seated us together with him in the hea-venly places. 7God did this so that his kindnessto us who belong to Christ Jesus would clearlyshow for all time to come the amazing richnessof his grace.

8I mean that you have been saved by gracebecause you believed. You did not save your-selves; it was a gift from God. 9You are not savedby the things you have done, so there is nothing toboast about. 10God has made us what we are. InChrist Jesus, God made us new people so that wewould spend our lives doing the good things hehad already planned for us to do.

One in Christ11You were born non-Jews. You are the people

the Jews call uncircumcised.1 Those Jews whocall you uncircumcised call themselves cir-cumcised. (Their circumcision* is only somet-hing they themselves do to their bodies.)12Remember that in the past you were withoutChrist. You were not citizens of Israel,* and youdid know about the agreements2 with the promisesthat God made to his people. You had no hope,

and you did not know God.13

Yes, at one time youwere far away from God, but now in Christ Jesusyou are brought near to him. You are brought nearto God through the blood sacrifice of Christ.

14Christ is the reason we are now at peace. Hemade us Jews and you non-Jews one people. Wewere separated by a wall of hate that stood bet-ween us, but Christ broke down that wall. Bygiving his own body, 15Christ ended the law withits many commands and rules. His purpose was tomake the two groups become one in him. Bydoing this he would make peace. 16Through thecross Christ ended the hate between the twogroups. And after they became one body, hewanted to bring them both back to God. He didthis with his death on the cross. 17Christ came andbrought the message of peace to you non-Jewswho were far away from God. And he broughtthat message of peace to those who were near to

God. 18Yes, through Christ we all have the rightto come to the Father in one Spirit.*

19So now you non-Jews are not visitors or stran-

gers, but you are citizens together with Gods holypeople.* You belong to Gods family. 20You belie-vers are like a building that God owns. That buil-ding was built on the foundation that the apostles*and prophets* prepared. Christ Jesus himself is themost important stone1 in that building. 21Thewhole building is joined together in Christ, and hemakes it grow and become a holy temple2 in theLord. 22And in Christ you are being built togetherwith his other people. You are being made into aplace where God lives through the Spirit.

Pauls Work for the Gentiles

31So I, Paul, am a prisoner because I serve

Christ Jesus for you who are not Jews.2Surely you know that God gave me this workthrough his grace* to help you. 3God let me knowhis secret plan by showing it to me. I havealready written a little about this. 4And if youread what I wrote, you can see that I understandthe secret truth about the Christ. 5People wholived in other times were not told that secrettruth. But now, through the Spirit,* God hasshown that secret truth to his holy apostles* andprophets.* 6This is that secret truth: that throughthe Good News* the non-Jews will share with theJews in the blessings God has for his people.

They are part of the same body, and they sharetogether in the promise that God made in ChristJesus.

7By Gods special gift of grace, I became a ser-vant to tell that Good News. He gave me thatgrace by using his power. 8I am the least impor-tant of all of Gods people. But he gave me thisgiftto tell the non-Jewish people the GoodNews about the riches Christ has. These riches aretoo great to understand fully. 9And God gave methe work of telling all people about the plan forhis secret truth. That secret truth has been hiddenin him since the beginning of time. He is the onewho created everything. 10His purpose was thatall the rulers and powers in the heavenly placeswill now know the many different ways he showshis wisdom. They will know this because of thechurch.* 11This agrees with the plan God hadsince the beginning of time. He did what he

planned, and he did it through Christ Jesus ourLord. 12In Christ we come before God with fre-edom and without fear. We can do this because ofour faith in Christ. 13So I ask you not to be dis-

couraged because of what is happening to me. Mysufferings are for your benefitfor your honorand glory.*

The Love of Christ14So I bow in prayer before the Father. 15Every

family in heaven and on earth gets its true namefrom him. 16I ask the Father with his great glory*to give you the power to be strong in your spirits.He will give you that strength through his Spirit.*17I pray that Christ will live in your hearts becauseof your faith. I pray that your life will be strong inlove and be built on love. 18And I pray that youand all Gods holy people* will have the power to

understand the greatness of Christs love. I praythat you can understand how wide, how long, howhigh and how deep that love is. 19Christs love isgreater than anyone can ever know, but I pray thatyou will be able to know that love. Then you canbe filled with everything God has for you.

20With Gods power working in us, he can domuch, much more than anything we can ask or think of. 21To him be glory in the church* and inChr ist Jesus fo r al l ti me, f orev er and ever.Amen.

The Unity of the Body

41So, as a prisoner for the Lord, I beg you tolive the way Gods people should live,

because he chose you to be his. 2Always behumble and gentle. Be patient and accept eachother with love. 3You are joined together withpeace through the Spirit.* Do all you can to con-tinue together in this way. Let peace hold youtogether. 4There is one body and one Spirit, andGod chose you to have one hope. 5There is oneLord, one faith, and one baptism.* 6There is oneGod and Father of us all, who rules over ever-yone. He works through all of us and in all of us.

7Christ gave each one of us a special gift. Ever-yone received what he wanted to give them. 8Thatis why the Scriptures* say,

He went up high into the sky;he took prisoners with him,and he gave gifts to people. Psalm 68:18

14:11 to care for people Literally, to be shepherds and teachers.

9When it says, He went up, what does itmean? It means that he first came down low toearth. 10So Christ came down, and he is the sameone who went up. He went up above the highest

heaven in order to fill everything with himself.11And that same Christ gave gifts to peoplehemade some to be apostles,* some to be prophets,*some to go and tell the Good News,* and some tocare for and teach Gods people.1 12Christ gavethese gifts to prepare Gods holy people* for thework of serving, to make the body of Christstronger. 13This work must continue until we areall joined together in what we believe and in whatwe know about the Son of God. Our goal is tobecome like a full-grown manto look just likeChrist and have all his perfection.

14Then we will no longer be like babies. Wewill not be people who are always changing likea ship that the waves carry one way and thenanother. We will not be influenced by every newteaching we hear from people who are trying todeceive usthose who make clever plans anduse every kind of trick to fool others into follo-wing the wrong way. 15No, we will speak thetruth with love. We will grow to be like Christ inevery way. He is the head, 16and the whole bodydepends on him. All the parts of the body arejoined and held together, with each part doing itsown work. This causes the whole body to growand to be stronger in love.

The Way You Should Live17I have something from the Lord to tell you. Iwarn you: Dont continue living like those whodont believe. Their thoughts are worth nothing.18They have no understanding, and they knownothing because they refuse to listen. So theycannot have the life that God gives. 19They havelost their feeling of shame and use their lives to dowhat is morally wrong. More and more they wantto do all kinds of evil. 20But that way of life isnothing like what you learned when you came toknow Christ. 21I know that you heard about him,and in union with him you were taught the truth.Yes, the truth is in Jesus. 22You were taught toleave your old self. This means that you must stopliving the evil way you lived before. That old selfgets worse and worse, because people are fooledby the evil they want to do. 23You must be madenew in your heart and in your thinking. 24Be thatnew person who was made to be like God, trulygood and pleasing to him.

14:25 Quote from Zech. 8:16. 24:26 Quote from Ps. 4:4.

25So you must stop tel ling l ies. You mustalways speak the truth to each other,1 because weall belong to each other in the same body. 26Whenyou are angry, dont let that anger make you sin,2

and dont stay angry all day.27

Dont give the devila way to defeat you. 28Whoever has been stealingmust stop it and start working. They must use theirhands for doing something good. Then they willhave something to share with those who are poor.

29When you talk, dont say anything bad. Butsay the good things that people needwhateverwill help them grow stronger. Then what you saywill be a blessing to those who hear you. 30Anddont make the Holy Spirit* sad. God gave you hisSpirit as proof that you belong to him and that hewill keep you safe until the day he makes youfree. 31Never be bitter, angry, or mad. Nevershout angrily or say things to hurt others. Neverdo anything evil. 32Be kind and loving to eachother. Forgive each other the same as God forgaveyou through Christ.

51You are Gods dear children, so try to be likehim. 2Live a life of love. Love others just as

Christ loved us. He gave himself for usa sweet-smelling offering and sacrifice* to God.

3But there must be no sexual sin among you.There must not be any kind of evil or selfishlywanting more and more, because such things arenot right for Gods holy people.* 4Also, there

must be no evil talk among you. You must notspeak foolishly or tell evil jokes. These are not foryou. But you should be giving thanks to God.5You can be sure of this: No one will have a placein the kingdom of Christ and of God if that personcommits sexual sins, or does evil things, or is aperson who selfishly wants more and more. Agreedy person like that is serving a false god.

6Dont let anyone fool you with words theydont really believe. God gets very angry whenpeople who dont obey him talk like that. 7Sodont have anything to do with them. 8In the pastyou were full of darkness,* but now you are full of

light* in the Lord. So live like children whobelong to the light. 9This light produces everykind of goodness, right living, and truth. 10Try tolearn what pleases the Lord. 11Have no part in thethings that people in darkness do, which producenothing good. Instead, tell everyone how wrongthose things are. 12It is really very shameful to

vorbe`ti despre ceea ce fac cei neasculttoripe ascuns. 13Dar totul devine vizibil cndeste dezvluit de lumin, 14cci tot ce estedezvluit de lumin devine lumin. De

aceea se spune:Scoal-te, tu, cel ce dormi,

ridic-te dintre cei mor^i`i Cristos te va lumina.

15Deci, ave^i grij cum tri^i! S nu fi^i cacei care nu sunt n^elep^i, ci fi^i ca cein^elep^i, 16care folosesc orice ocazie de aface binele, cci trim zile rele. 17Nu fi^inechibzui^i, ci cuta^i s n^elege^i care estevoia Domnului! 18S nu v mbta i cu vin,ceea ce duce la destrblare, ci fi^i plini deDuhul*! 19Vorbi^i ntre voi cu psalmi,cntri de laud `i cntri spirituale. Luda^i`i cnta^i Domnului n inima voastr!20Mul^umi^ i n totdeauna pentru toa telucrurile lui Dumnezeu, Tatl nostru, nNumele Domnului nostru Isus Cristos!

`i Cristos Biserica! El S-a dat pe Sinepentru ea, 26pentru a o dedica slujir ii luiDumnezeu, cur^ind-o, splnd-o cu apprin mesajul Ve`tii Bune*. 27Astfel, El vap rezenta Bi seri ca nai ntea Sa ca pe omireas plin de slav, fr pat, fr cusur,sfnt `i fr gre`eal. 28La fel, so ii s- iiubeasc so^iile a`a cum i iubesc propriullor trup.

15:31 Quote from Gen. 2:24.

even talk about the things those people do insecret. 13But the light makes clear how wrongthose things are. 14Yes, everything is made clearby the light. This is why we say,

Wake up, you who are sleeping!Rise from death, and Christ will shine on you.

15So be very careful how you live. Livewisely, not like fools. 16I mean that you shoulduse every opportunity you have for doing good,because these are evil times. 17So dont be foo-lish with your lives, but learn what the Lordwants you to do. 18Dont be drunk with wine,which will ruin your life, but be filled with theSpirit.* 19Encourage each other with psalms,hymns, and spiritual songs. Sing and make musicin your hearts to the Lord. 20Always give thanksto God the Father for everything in the name ofour Lord Jesus Christ.

Wives and Husbands21Be willing to serve each other out of respect

for Christ.22Wives, be willing to serve your husbands the

same as the Lord. 23A husband is the head of hiswife, just as Christ is the head of the church.*Christ is the Savior of the church, which is hisbody. 24The church serves under Christ, so it is

the same with you wives. You should be willingto serve your husbands in everything.25Husbands, love your wives the same as Christ

loved the church and gave his life for it. 26He diedto make the church holy.* He used the telling ofthe Good News* to make the church clean by was-hing it with water. 27Christ died so that he couldgive the church to himself like a bride in all herbeauty. He died so that the church could be holyand without fault, with no evil or sin or any otherthing wrong in it.

28And husbands should love their wives like that.They should love their wives like they love theirown bodies. The man who loves his wife loves him-self, 29because no one ever hates their own body.Everyone feeds and takes care of their body. Andthat is what Christ does for the church 30because weare parts of his body. 31The Scriptures* say, So aman will leave his father and mother and join hiswife, and the two people will become one.1 32That

Children and Parents

61Children, obey your parents the way the Lordwants, because this is the right thing to do.

2The command says, You must respect yourfather and mother.1 That is the first commandthat has a promise with it. 3That promise is: Theneverything will be fine with you, and you willhave a long life on the earth.2

4Fathers, dont make your children angry, butraise them with the kind of teaching and trainingyou learn from the Lord.

Slaves and Masters5Slaves, obey your masters here on earth with

fear and respect. And do that with a heart that istrue, the same as you obey Christ. 6You must domore than just obey your masters to please themwhile they are watching you. You must obey themlike you are obeying Christ. With all your heartyou must do what God wants. 7Do your work, andbe happy to do it. Work like you are serving theLord, not like you are serving only an earthlymaster. 8Remember that the Lord will give ever-yone a reward for doing good. Everyone, slave orfree, will get a reward for the good things they do.

9Masters, in the same way, be good to your

slaves. Dont say things to scare them. You knowthat the one who is your Master and their Masteris in heaven, and he judges everyone the same.

Wear the Full Armor of God10To end my letter I tell you, be strong in the

Lord and in his great power. 11Wear the fullarmor of God. Wear Gods armor so that you canfight against the devils clever tricks. 12Our fightis not against people on earth. We are fightingagainst the rulers and authorities and the powersof this worlds darkness. We are fighting againstthe spiritual powers of evil in the heavenly places.13That is why you need to get Gods full armor.Then on the day of evil you will be able to standstrong. And when you have finished the wholefight, you will still be standing.

14So stand strong with the belt of truth tiedaround your waist, and on your chest wear theprotection of right living. 15On your feet wear the
