Ephesians 1
WET VERSION
CHAPTER 1
FROM Paul, an ambassador of Jesus the Anointed by God’s [the Self-existent’s] will: To the saints — believers in Jesus the Anointed — at Ephesus.
Grace and peace
be multiplied
to you from God our Father and the Self-existent [the Son of man], Jesus the Anointed.
Thanks to God, the Father of our Sovereign Master, Jesus the Anointed, who has blessed all of us — followers of Jesus the Anointed — with heavenly blessings,
in that, in His love, before the idea of the world was conceived, he had chosen all of us under Him, to be holy and blameless before Him —
He predestined us to be adopted through Jesus the Anointed for Himself, according to His favor and will,
to the credit of His glorious grace that made all of us under the Beloved [the Self-existent - the Son of man] to be accepted.
Accordingly, all of us under the Beloved [the Self-existent - the Son of man] have gotten redemption — forgiveness of our sins — through His blood, due to the bountifulness of God’s [the Self-existent’s] grace
that He lavished on us in His kindness, by all wisdom and prudence.
Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;
to bring everything – both things in heaven and things on earth – together, in Jesus the Anointed, in the period of the fulfilling of times; everything must be in Him —
all of us under Him, predestined as purposed by the One [the Self-existent] who works out everything He purposes, have also been made His inheritance —
so that we, the first to trust Jesus the Anointed, should bring praise to His Glory [Emissary] – the Self-existent, the Holy Spirit.
After you heard the message of the Truth [the Self-existent - the Son of man], the good news that you can be rescued
from perdition
, you also believed and you were
sealed [certified] with the promised holy spirit [the breath of the Holy Spirit]
which is the down payment, guaranteeing us the inheritance until the people He [the Self-existent - the Son of man] purchased as a possession are rescued from perdition, to the credit of His Glory [Emissary] – the Self-existent, the Holy Spirit.
This is why, since I heard about your faith in the Self-existent [the Son of man], Jesus, and your love for all saints,
I have not stopped giving thanks for you as I remember you in my prayers,
that the God of our Sovereign Master, Jesus the Anointed, the glorious Father, would give you spiritual wisdom and revelation to know Him,
and
that your inner eyes be opened, so that you will know what His calling offers — how abundant and
glorious the inheritance of the saints is —
and how immeasurable and great the working of His mighty power is, in us who believe.
He demonstrated
this power
in Jesus the Anointed by raising Him from the dead and seating Him by His side, to the right, in heaven —
far above all rules and authorities, powers and empires, and any nameable sovereign, not only in this world, but also in the one to come —
putting everything under His feet and appointing Him as Head over everything as far as the church,
His body, the full expression of the One who fills all things in every way, is concerned.
