Default Ephesians

Paul, and Apostle, of Elohim, by Elohim's will, to them, who are at Ephesus, Sanctified, and believing through Yeshua, the Messiah, Peace be with you, and Grace, from Elohim, our Father, through our Lord, Yeshua, the Messiah. Praise be to Elohim, the Father, of our Lord, Yeshua, the Messiah, who has Blessed us in Heaven, with every Blessing, with the Messiah. Just as from the Beginning, he has Chosen us, through him, before the Foundation, of the World, that we may become Holy, and without Blemish, in his Sight, and he Marked us, with his Love, to be his, from the Beginning. And Adopted us, to be Sons, through Yeshua, the Messiah, as it Pleased his will, to the Praise, of the Glory, of his Grace, in which he Favored us, through the One, having been Loved, through him, we have Salvation, and through his Blood, Forgiveness of Sins. In accordance with the Riches, of Elohim's Grace, that he Lavished on us, with all Wisdom, and Understanding, and he made Known to us, the Mystery of his will, according to his good Pleasure. Which he purposed, through the Messiah, to be put into effect, when the Times, will have reached their Fulfillment, to bring all things in Heaven, and on Earth, together under One Head, even the Messiah, through whom we have been Chosen, as he had Marked us, from the Beginning. So he wanted to carry out everything, according to the good Judgment, of his will, that we should become the First to Trust, through the Messiah, to his Honor, and his Glory, through whom also you, have Heard the Word, of Truth, which is the Gospel, of your Salvation, through him you have believed, so you are Sealed, with the Promised Power, which is a Deposit, Guaranteeing our Inheritance, until the Redemption of those, who are Elohim's Possession, to the Praise, of his Glory.

For this reason, ever since I Heard about your believing, that is in our Lord, Yeshua, the Messiah, and your Love, toward all the Saints, I have not stopped giving Thanks, for you, making Mind, of you in my Prayers. I keep asking the Elohim, of our Lord, Yeshua, the Messiah, the Glorious Father, may give you Wisdom, and Revelation, so that you may Know him better, and so that the Eyes, of your Understanding, may be enlightened. In order that you may Know the Hope, to which he has Called you, and what are the Glorious Riches, of his Inheritance for the Saints, and what is the exceeding greatness, of his Power in us, as the result of the things we believe. According to the Skill, of his Mighty Power, which he Wrought through the Messiah, when he Raised him, from among, the Dead, and set him, at his own Right Hand, in Heaven, far above all Angels, and Power, and Might, and Dominion, and above each Name, that is Named, not only in this Age, but also in that to come, and has put all things under his Feet, and made him, who is above all things, to be the Head, of the Assembly, which is his Body, and confirmation of him, who Fulfills all things, and everything. And he has also Quickened you, who were Dead, because of your Sins, and Trespasses, in which you previously Walked, according to the course, of this World, and according to the will, of the Supreme Ruler, of the Air, the Spirit, which is active in the Children, of disobedience. Even when we were Dead, in our Sins, made us Alive, with the Messiah, and Rescued us, by his Grace, and Resuscitated us, with him, and Seated us, with him in Heaven, through the Messiah, in order that, in the coming Ages, he might show the Magnitude, of the Riches, of his Grace, expressed in his Kindness to us, through Yeshua, the Messiah.

For it is by his Grace, we are Rescued, through believing, and this not from yourselves, it is the good Pleasure, of Elohim, not by Works, so that no one can boast, for we are Elohim's Workmanship, Created through Yeshua, the Messiah, ultimately for good Works, which Elohim Prepared in advance, for us to do. Wherefore be Mindful, that formerly you, who are Gentiles by Birth, and you were Called Uncircumcision, differing from that which is Called Circumcision, which is the Work, of the Hands, in the Flesh, at that Time, you were without the Messiah, being Aliens to the Customs, of Israel, and Strangers to the Covenants, of the Promise, having no Hope, and without Elohim in the World. But now through Yeshua, the Messiah, you who once were far away, have been brought near, through the Blood, of the Messiah, for he is our Peace, who has made both, One, and has broken down the Wall, of separation, between them, by abolishing in his Flesh, the Law, with its Commandments, and Regulations, that he might form the Two, in himself into One New Man, thus making Peace, and in this One Body, has reconcile both of them, with Elohim, through the Resurrection, by which he put to Death their hostility, and he came, and proclaimed Peace, to you afar off, and to those near. Therefore, through him there has been made for us, both an access to the Father, through the Messiah, thus from henceforth, you are neither strangers, nor foreigners, but fellow Citizens, with the Saints, and Children, of the Household, of Elohim, built on the Foundation, of the Apostles, and Prophets, with Yeshua, the Messiah himself, as the Chief Cornerstone, through him the whole Building, is joined together, and rises to become a Holy Temple, through our Lord, and through him, you too are being built together, to become a Dwelling, in which Elohim Lives, through his Power.

On this account, I Paul, am a Prisoner, of Yeshua, the Messiah, for the sake, of the Gentiles, have you ever heard, of the Dispensation, of the Grace, of Elohim, which was given to me, for you. For the for the Mystery, was made Known to me, by a Revelation, as I have briefly Written you before, so that when you Read it, you can Understand my Knowledge, of the Mystery, of the Messiah, which in ages past, was not made Known, to the Sons, of Men, as it is now Revealed, to his Holy Apostles, and Prophets, through the Power. This Mystery, is that through the Gospel, the Gentiles, are Heirs together, with Israel, Members together, of One Body, and sharers together in the Promise, through Yeshua, the Messiah, of that very Gospel, I have been a Minister, according to the Grace, of Elohim given to me, by the effectual Working, of his Power, even to me, who am less than, the least, of all the Saints. This Grace was given, that I should Preach, among the Gentiles, the Unsearchable Riches, of Elohim, and that I might Enlighten, all Men, that they may See what is the Fellowship, of the Mystery, which for Ages, had been Hidden, from the World, by Elohim, who Created all things. To the intent, that through the Assembly, the Manifold Wisdom, of Elohim, may be made Known, to the Angels, and Powers, which are in Heaven, according to his Eternal purpose, which he accomplished, through Yeshua, the Messiah, our Lord, through him, and through believing in him, we may approach Elohim, with Freedom, and Confidence. I ask you therefore, not to be Discouraged, because of my sufferings for you, which is for your happiness.

For this cause, I bow my Knees, to the Father, of our Lord, Yeshua, the Messiah, for whom all Fatherhood, in Heaven, and in Earth, is Named, to grant you, according to the Riches, of his Glory, to be strengthened with Might, through his Son. That the Messiah, may Dwell in your Inner Man, through believing, and in your Minds, by Love, strengthening your Understanding, and your Foundation, so that you, may be able to Comprehend, with all the Saints, what is the Height, and Depth, and Length, and Breadth, and to Know the Love, of the Messiah, and to Know this Love, that surpasses Knowledge, that you may be filled to the Measure, of all the fullness, of Elohim. Now to him, who is able to do Immeasurably more, than all we Ask, or Imagine, through his Power, that is at Work within us, unto him, be Glory, in his Assembly, through Yeshua, the Messiah, throughout all Ages, World without End, believe. I therefore a Prisoner, of our Lord, beseech you to Live, as is Worthy, of the Rank, to which you are Called, be completely Humble, and Gentle, be Patient, Forbearing, One towards another in Love, endeavoring to preserve the Harmony, of Elohim, in the Bond, of Peace, that you may become One Body, and One Mind, even as you are Called, in one Hope, of your Calling. There is One Lord, One believing, and One Baptism, One Elohim, and Father, of all, who is above all, and through all, and in all of us, but to each One of us, Grace has been given, as Elohim apportioned it, and he has Assigned, some as Apostles, and some as Prophets, and some as Evangelists, and some as Pastors, and some as Teachers, to Prepare Elohim's People, for Works, of Service. So that the Body, of the Messiah, may be Built up, until we all reach Unity, in the believing, and in the Knowledge, of the Son, of Elohim, and become Mature, attaining to the whole Measure, of the Fullness, of Elohim.

That we henceforth, be not as Children, easily stirred, and carried away by every Wind, of False Doctrines, of Men, who through their craftiness, are Artful, in Deceiving the People. Instead, speaking the Truth in Love, we will in all things, grow up into him, who is the Head, that is the Messiah, it is through him, that the whole Body, is closely, and firmly United, at all Joints, according to the Power, which is given to every Member, for the Guidance, and Control, of the Body, in order to complete the edifying, of the Body in Love. So I tell you this, and insist on it, through the Lord, that you must no longer Live, as the Gentiles do, who Live in the Vanity, of their Mind, and whose Understanding, is Dark, and who are Alienated, from the Life, of Elohim. Because they have no Knowledge, and because of the Blindness, of their Minds, having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over, to Sensuality, so as to Indulge, in every kind, of Impurity, with a continual Lust, for more. But that is not what you, have been Taught, about the Messiah, surely you Heard, of him, and were Taught in him, in accordance with the Truth, that is through Yeshua, you were Taught, with regard to your former way, of Life, to put off your Old self, which is being Corrupted, by its deceitful desires, to be made New, in the Attitude, of your Minds, and should put on the New Man, that is Created by Elohim, in Righteousness, and in the Holiness, of Truth. Therefore, you must put away from you, Lying, and Speak the Truth, every Man, with his Neighbor, for we are Members, One of another, in your Anger, do not Sin, do not let the Sun go down, while you are still Angry, and do not give the Devil, a Foothold. He who has been Stealing, must Steal no longer, but must Work, doing something useful, with his own Hands, that he may have something to share, with those in need, do not let any unwholesome Talk, come out of your Mouths, but only what is helpful, for building others up, according to their needs, that it may benefit those, who Listen, and do not Grieve the Power, of Elohim, whereby you are Sealed, to the Day, of Salvation. Let all Bitterness, and Wrath, and Anger, and Clamoring, and Blasphemy, be put away from you, along with every form, of Malice, and be kind, One to another, and Compassionate, Forgiving One another, even as Elohim has Forgiven us, through the Messiah.

Therefore, be you Followers, of Elohim, as most Dear, Worthy Sons, and Live a Life, of Love, just as the Messiah Loved us, and gave himself up, for us, as a Fragrant Offering, and Sacrifice to Elohim. But among you, there must not be even a Hint, of Sexual Immorality, or of any kind, of Impurity, or of Greed, because these are improper, for Elohim's People, nor should there be Obscenity, Foolish Talk, or Coarse Joking, which are out of place, but instead of these, let Thanks be Offered. For of this, you can be sure, no Immoral, Impure, or Greedy Person, such a Man is an Idolater, has any Inheritance, in the Reign, of the Messiah, and of Elohim. Let no one Deceive you, with Empty Words, for because of such things, Elohim's Wrath, comes on those, who are Disobedient, therefore, be you not like them, for previously you were Ignorant, but now, you have been Enlightened, by our Lord, and should Live therefore, like Children, of Light, for the Fruits, of Light, consist's in all goodness, Righteousness, and Truth, and find out, what Pleases our Lord. Have nothing to do, with the Fruitless Deeds, of Darkness, but Reprove them, for it is shameful, even to mention, what the Disobedient do, in Secret, but everything exposed, by the Light, becomes Visible, for it is Light, that makes everything Visible, this is why it is said, Awake O Sleeper, and Rise from the Dead, and the Messiah will Illuminate you, be very careful then, how you Live, not as Unwise, but as Wise, making the most of every Opportunity, because the Days, are Evil, on account of this, be not wanting in Mind, but Understand you, what is the Pleasure, of Elohim, do not get Drunk, on Wine, which leads to Debauchery, instead, Manifest the Power, and discourse with yourselves, with Psalms, and with Hymns, and with songs, through the Power, singing with your Minds, unto Elohim, always giving Thanks, to Elohim, the Father, for everything, through the Name, of our Lord, Yeshua, the Messiah.

And be Submissive, One to another in the Love, of the Messiah. Wives, be you Submissive, to your Husbands, as to our Lord, for the Husband is the Head, of the Wife, as the Messiah, is the Head, of the Assembly, and he is the Savior, of the Body. Therefore as the Assembly, is subject to the Messiah, so let the Wives, be to their own Husbands, in all things. Husbands, Love your Wives, even also as the Messiah, Loved the Assembly, and gave himself up, on its behalf, to make it Holy, cleansing it with the washing, of Water, through the Word, of Life, in order to Build, for Elohim a Glorious Assembly, without Stain, or Wrinkle, of any such thing, but that it should be Holy, and without Blemish. In this same way, Husbands ought to Love, their Wives, as their own Bodies, he who Loves his Wife, Loves himself, for no Man ever yet Hated, his own Body, but nourishes it, and cherishes it, even as the Messiah, the Assembly. For we are Members, of his Body, and of his Flesh, and of his Bones, for this reason a Man, will leave his Father, and Mother, and be United, to his Wife, and the Two, will become One Flesh, this Mystery is great, but I speak as to the Messiah, and as to the Assembly. Nevertheless, also each One of you, must Love his Wife, as he Loves himself, and the Wife, must respect her Husband. Children Obey your Parents, in our Lord, for this is Right, this is the First Commandment, with Promise, Honor your Father, and your Mother, that it may be well with you, and you may Live long, upon the Land, and Fathers, do not provoke, your Children to Anger, but Nurture them, in the Discipline, and admonition, of our Lord. Servants, be Obedient to your Masters, after the Flesh, with respect, and trembling, and with simplicity, of Mind, just as you would Obey Elohim, not in the Sight, of the Eye, as if you were Pleasing Men, but as the Servants, of Elohim, who are doing the Will, of Elohim, and Serve them, with your whole Mind, in Love, as if Serving Elohim, Knowing that whatever good thing a Man, may do, the same will be recompensed to him, by Elohim, whether he be a Servant, or a Free Man, also you Masters, do you so to your Servants, Forgive them a Fault, because you Know, that you have a Master, in Heaven, and there is no Respect, of Persons, with him.

From henceforth my Brothers, be Strong in our Lord, and in the Power, of Elohim's Might, put on the Full Armor, of Elohim, so that you can, take your Stand, against the Devil's Schemes. For our Conflict, is not with Flesh, and Blood, but with Principalities, and with those in Authority, and with the Possessors, of this Dark World, and against the Forces, of Evil, in the Air. Therefore put on the whole Armor, of Elohim, that you may be able to meet, the Evil One, and being Prepared, you shall Prevail, arise therefore, Gird you Loins, with Truth, and put on the Breastplate, of Righteousness, and with your Feet fitted, with the readiness, that comes from the Gospel, of Peace. In addition to all this, take up the Shield, of believing, that therewith you may be Empowered, with strength, to extinguish, all the burning Shafts, of that Evil One, and put on the Helmet, of Rescue, and take hold, of the Sword, of Elohim, which is the Word, of Elohim. And Pray always, with all Prayer, and Supplication, through the Power, and in that Prayer, be watchful at all Times, Praying Constantly, and Interceding for all the Saints. Pray also for me, that whenever I open my Mouth, Words may be given me, so that I will Fearlessly, make Known the Mystery, of the Gospel, of which I am a Messenger, in Chains, that I may utter it Boldly, as I ought to utter it. Tychicus, a beloved Brother, and Faithful Minister, in Elohim, will tell you everything, so that also you, may know my Affairs, and what I doing. I have sent him to you, for this very purpose, that you may Know how I am, and that he may Encourage you. Peace, to the Brothers, and Love, with believing, from Elohim, the Father, and our Lord, Yeshua, the Messiah. Grace to all, who Love our Lord, Yeshua, the Messiah, with an Undying Love.

This Letter is Dedicated to the
Memory, of my Teacher.
