PAUL, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus:

Παῦλος, ἀπόστολος Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ διὰ θελήματος Θεοῦ, τοῖς ἁγίοις τοῖς οὖσιν ἐν Ἐφέσῳ καὶ πιστοῖς ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ·

[Заⷱ҇ 216] Па́ѵелъ, посла́нникъ і҆и҃съ хрⷭ҇то́въ во́лею бж҃їею, ст҃ы̑мъ сꙋ́щымъ во є҆фе́сѣ и҆ вѣ́рнымъ ѡ҆ хрⷭ҇тѣ̀ і҆и҃сѣ:

2

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

χάρις ὑμῖν καὶ εἰρήνη ἀπὸ Θεοῦ πατρὸς ἡμῶν καὶ Κυρίου Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ.

блгⷣть ва́мъ и҆ ми́ръ ѿ бг҃а ѻ҆ц҃а̀ на́шегѡ и҆ гдⷭ҇а і҆и҃са хрⷭ҇та̀.

3

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

εὐλογητὸς ὁ Θεὸς καὶ πατὴρ τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, ὁ εὐλογήσας ἡμᾶς ἐν πάσῃ εὐλογίᾳ πνευματικῇ ἐν τοῖς ἐπουρανίοις ἐν Χριστῷ,

Блгⷭ҇ве́нъ бг҃ъ и҆ ѻ҆ц҃ъ гдⷭ҇а на́шегѡ і҆и҃са хрⷭ҇та̀, блгⷭ҇ви́вый на́съ всѧ́цѣмъ блгⷭ҇ве́нїемъ дꙋхо́внымъ въ нбⷭ҇ныхъ ѡ҆ хрⷭ҇тѣ̀,

4

According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:

καθὼς καὶ ἐξελέξατο ἡμᾶς ἐν αὐτῷ πρὸ καταβολῆς κόσμου εἶναι ἡμᾶς ἁγίους καὶ ἀμώμους κατενώπιον αὐτοῦ, ἐν ἀγάπῃ

ꙗ҆́коже и҆збра̀ на́съ въ не́мъ пре́жде сложе́нїѧ мі́ра, бы́ти на́мъ ст҃ы̑мъ и҆ непорѡ́чнымъ пред̾ ни́мъ въ любвѝ,

5

Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,

προορίσας ἡμᾶς εἰς υἱοθεσίαν διὰ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ εἰς αὐτόν, κατὰ τὴν εὐδοκίαν τοῦ θελήματος αὐτοῦ,

пре́жде наре́къ на́съ во ᲂу҆сыновле́нїе і҆и҃съ хрⷭ҇то́мъ въ него̀, по бл҃говоле́нїю хотѣ́нїѧ своегѡ̀,

6

To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.

εἰς ἔπαινον δόξης τῆς χάριτος αὐτοῦ, ἐν ᾗ ἐχαρίτωσεν ἡμᾶς ἐν τῷ ἠγαπημένῳ,

въ похвалꙋ̀ сла́вы блгⷣти своеѧ̀, є҆́юже ѡ҆бл҃годатѝ на́съ ѡ҆ возлю́бленнѣмъ:

7

In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;

ἐν ᾧ ἔχομεν τὴν ἀπολύτρωσιν διὰ τοῦ αἵματος αὐτοῦ, τὴν ἄφεσιν τῶν παραπτωμάτων, κατὰ τὸν πλοῦτον τῆς χάριτος αὐτοῦ,

[Заⷱ҇ 217] ѡ҆ не́мже и҆́мамы и҆збавле́нїе кро́вїю є҆гѡ̀, и҆ ѡ҆ставле́нїе прегрѣше́нїи, по бога́тствꙋ блгⷣти є҆гѡ̀,

8

Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;

ἧς ἐπερίσσευσεν εἰς ἡμᾶς ἐν πάσῃ σοφίᾳ καὶ φρονήσει,

ю҆́же преꙋмно́жилъ є҆́сть въ на́съ во всѧ́цѣй премꙋ́дрости и҆ ра́зꙋмѣ,

9

Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:

γνωρίσας ἡμῖν τὸ μυστήριον τοῦ θελήματος αὐτοῦ κατὰ τὴν εὐδοκίαν αὐτοῦ, ἣν προέθετο ἐν αὐτῷ

сказа́въ на́мъ та́йнꙋ во́ли своеѧ̀ по бл҃говоле́нїю своемꙋ̀, є҆́же пре́жде положѝ въ не́мъ,

10

That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:

εἰς οἰκονομίαν τοῦ πληρώματος τῶν καιρῶν, ἀνακεφαλαιώσασθαι τὰ πάντα ἐν τῷ Χριστῷ, τὰ ἐπὶ τοῖς οὐρανοῖς καὶ τὰ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, ἐν αὐτῷ,

въ смотре́нїе и҆сполне́нїѧ време́нъ, возглави́ти всѧ́чєскаѧ ѡ҆ хрⷭ҇тѣ̀, ꙗ҆̀же на нб҃сѣ́хъ и҆ ꙗ҆̀же на землѝ въ не́мъ:

11

In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:

ἐν ᾧ καὶ ἐκληρώθημεν προορισθέντες κατὰ πρόθεσιν τοῦ τὰ πάντα ἐνεργοῦντος κατὰ τὴν βουλὴν τοῦ θελήματος αὐτοῦ,

въ не́мже и҆ наслѣ̑дницы сотвори́хомсѧ, пре́жде нарече́ни бы́вше по прозрѣ́нїю бж҃їю всѧ̑ дѣ́йствꙋющагѡ по совѣ́тꙋ во́ли своеѧ̀,

12

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

εἰς τὸ εἶναι ἡμᾶς εἰς ἔπαινον δόξης αὐτοῦ, τοὺς προηλπικότας ἐν τῷ Χριστῷ·

ꙗ҆́кѡ бы́ти на́мъ въ похвале́нїе сла́вы є҆гѡ̀, пре́жде ᲂу҆пова́вшымъ во хрⷭ҇та̀:

13

In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

ἐν ᾧ καὶ ὑμεῖς ἀκούσαντες τὸν λόγον τῆς ἀληθείας, τὸ εὐαγγέλιον τῆς σωτηρίας ὑμῶν, ἐν ᾧ καὶ πιστεύσαντες ἐσφραγίσθητε τῷ Πνεύματι τῆς ἐπαγγελίας τῷ Ἁγίῳ,

въ не́мже и҆ вы̀, слы́шавше сло́во и҆́стины, бл҃говѣствова́нїе спⷭ҇нїѧ на́шегѡ, въ не́мже и҆ вѣ́ровавше зна́менастесѧ дх҃омъ ѡ҆бѣтова́нїѧ ст҃ы́мъ,

14

Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.

ὅς ἐστιν ἀρραβὼν τῆς κληρονομίας ἡμῶν, εἰς ἀπολύτρωσιν τῆς περιποιήσεως, εἰς ἔπαινον τῆς δόξης αὐτοῦ.

и҆́же є҆́сть ѡ҆брꙋче́нїе наслѣ́дїѧ на́шегѡ, во и҆збавле́нїе снабдѣ́нїѧ, въ похвалꙋ̀ сла́вы є҆гѡ̀.

15

Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints,

Διὰ τοῦτο κἀγώ, ἀκούσας τὴν καθ’ ὑμᾶς πίστιν ἐν τῷ Κυρίῳ Ἰησοῦ καὶ τὴν ἀγάπην τὴν εἰς πάντας τοὺς ἁγίους,

Сегѡ̀ ра́ди и҆ а҆́зъ слы́шавъ ва́шꙋ вѣ́рꙋ ѡ҆ хрⷭ҇тѣ̀ і҆и҃сѣ и҆ любо́вь, ꙗ҆́же ко всѣ̑мъ ст҃ы̑мъ,

16

Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;

οὐ παύομαι εὐχαριστῶν ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν μνείαν ὑμῶν ποιούμενος ἐπὶ τῶν προσευχῶν μου,

[Заⷱ҇ 218] не престаю̀ благодарѧ̀ ѡ҆ ва́съ, помина́нїе ѡ҆ ва́съ творѧ̀ въ моли́твахъ мои́хъ,

17

That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:

ἵνα ὁ Θεὸς τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, ὁ πατὴρ τῆς δόξης, δῴη ὑμῖν πνεῦμα σοφίας καὶ ἀποκαλύψεως ἐν ἐπιγνώσει αὐτοῦ,

да бг҃ъ гдⷭ҇а на́шегѡ і҆и҃са хрⷭ҇та̀, ѻ҆ц҃ъ сла́вы, да́стъ ва́мъ дх҃а премꙋ́дрости и҆ ѿкрове́нїѧ, въ позна́нїе є҆гѡ̀,

18

The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,

πεφωτισμένους τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς τῆς καρδίας ὑμῶν, εἰς τὸ εἰδέναι ὑμᾶς τίς ἐστιν ἡ ἐλπὶς τῆς κλήσεως αὐτοῦ, καὶ τίς ὁ πλοῦτος τῆς δόξης τῆς κληρονομίας αὐτοῦ ἐν τοῖς ἁγίοις,

просвѣщє́нна ѻ҆чеса̀ се́рдца ва́шегѡ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ᲂу҆вѣ́дѣти ва́мъ, ко́е є҆́сть ᲂу҆пова́нїе зва́нїѧ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ ко́е бога́тство сла́вы достоѧ́нїѧ є҆гѡ̀ во ст҃ы́хъ,

19

And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,

καὶ τί τὸ ὑπερβάλλον μέγεθος τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτοῦ εἰς ἡμᾶς τοὺς πιστεύοντας κατὰ τὴν ἐνέργειαν τοῦ κράτους τῆς ἰσχύος αὐτοῦ,

и҆ ко́е преспѣ́ющее вели́чество си́лы є҆гѡ̀ въ на́съ вѣ́рꙋющихъ по дѣ́йствꙋ держа́вы крѣ́пости є҆гѡ̀,

20

Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,

ἣν ἐνήργησεν ἐν τῷ Χριστῷ ἐγείρας αὐτὸν ἐκ νεκρῶν, καὶ ἐκάθισεν ἐν δεξιᾷ αὐτοῦ ἐν τοῖς ἐπουρανίοις

ю҆́же содѣ́ѧ ѡ҆ хрⷭ҇тѣ̀, воскреси́въ є҆го̀ ѿ ме́ртвыхъ и҆ посади́въ ѡ҆деснꙋ́ю себє̀ на нбⷭ҇ныхъ,

21

Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:

ὑπεράνω πάσης ἀρχῆς καὶ ἐξουσίας καὶ δυνάμεως καὶ κυριότητος καὶ παντὸς ὀνόματος ὀνομαζομένου οὐ μόνον ἐν τῷ αἰῶνι τούτῳ, ἀλλὰ καὶ ἐν τῷ μέλλοντι·

превы́ше всѧ́кагѡ нача́льства и҆ вла́сти и҆ си́лы и҆ госпо́дства, и҆ всѧ́кагѡ и҆́мене и҆менꙋ́емагѡ не то́чїю въ вѣ́цѣ се́мъ, но и҆ во грѧдꙋ́щемъ:

22

And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,

καὶ πάντα ὑπέταξεν ὑπὸ τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ, καὶ αὐτὸν ἔδωκε κεφαλὴν ὑπὲρ πάντα τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ,

[Заⷱ҇ 219] и҆ всѧ̑ покорѝ под̾ но́зѣ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ того̀ дадѐ главꙋ̀ вы́ше всѣ́хъ цр҃кви,

23

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

ἥτις ἐστὶ τὸ σῶμα αὐτοῦ, τὸ πλήρωμα τοῦ τὰ πάντα ἐν πᾶσι πληρουμένου.

ꙗ҆́же є҆́сть тѣ́ло є҆гѡ̀, и҆сполне́нїе и҆сполнѧ́ющагѡ всѧ́чєскаѧ во всѣ́хъ.
