Ephesians 3:9

and to bring to light for everyone what is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages in God, who created all things,

Ephesians 3:10

so that through the church the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places.

Ephesians 3:11

This was according to the eternal purpose that he has realized in Christ Jesus our Lord,

Ephesians 3:14

For this reason I bow my knees before the Father,

Ephesians 3:16

that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being,

Ephesians 3:18

may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth,

Ephesians 3:19

and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

Ephesians 3:20

Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us,

Ephesians 3:21

to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

Ephesians 4:1

I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called,

Ephesians 4:3

eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

Ephesians 4:4

There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call—

Ephesians 4:7

But grace was given to each one of us according to the measure of Christ's gift.

Ephesians 4:9

(In saying, “He ascended,” what does it mean but that he had also descended into the lower regions, the earth?

Ephesians 4:10

He who descended is the one who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.)

Ephesians 4:11

And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers,

Ephesians 4:12

to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ,

Ephesians 4:13

until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ,

Ephesians 4:14

so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes.

Ephesians 4:15

Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ,

Ephesians 4:16

from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.

Ephesians 4:17

Now this I say and testify in the Lord, that you must no longer walk as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their minds.

Ephesians 4:18

They are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, due to their hardness of heart.

Ephesians 4:20

But that is not the way you learned Christ!—

Ephesians 4:21

assuming that you have heard about him and were taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus,

Ephesians 4:23

and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds,

Ephesians 4:24

and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.

Ephesians 4:25

Therefore, having put away falsehood, let each one of you speak the truth with his neighbor, for we are members one of another.

Ephesians 4:26

Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger,

Ephesians 4:27

and give no opportunity to the devil.

Ephesians 4:28

Let the thief no longer steal, but rather let him labor, doing honest work with his own hands, so that he may have something to share with anyone in need.

Ephesians 4:29

Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.

Ephesians 4:30

And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.

Ephesians 5:5

For you may be sure of this, that everyone who is sexually immoral or impure, or who is covetous (that is, an idolater), has no inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.

Ephesians 5:6

Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.

Ephesians 5:8

for at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light

Ephesians 5:9

(for the fruit of light is found in all that is good and right and true),

Ephesians 5:10

and try to discern what is pleasing to the Lord.

Ephesians 5:11

Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them.

Ephesians 5:12

For it is shameful even to speak of the things that they do in secret.

Ephesians 5:13

But when anything is exposed by the light, it becomes visible,

Ephesians 5:14

for anything that becomes visible is light. Therefore it says, “Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”

Ephesians 5:16

making the best use of the time, because the days are evil.

Ephesians 5:17

Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

Ephesians 5:18

And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit,

Ephesians 5:19

addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with your heart,

Ephesians 5:20

giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,

Ephesians 5:22

Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord.

Ephesians 5:23

For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior.

Ephesians 5:24

Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands.
