1:1 |
奉神旨意,作基督耶稣使徒的保罗,写信给在以弗所的圣徒,就是在基督耶稣里有忠心的人。 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: |
|
1:2 |
愿恩惠平安,从神我们的父,和主耶稣基督,归与你们。 Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. |
|
1:3 |
愿颂赞归与我们主耶稣基督的父神,他在基督里,曾赐给我们天上各样属灵的福气。 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: |
|
1:4 |
就如神从创立世界以前,在基督里拣选了我们,使我们在他面前成为圣洁,无有瑕疵。 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: |
|
1:5 |
又因爱我们,就按着自己意旨所喜悦的,豫定我们,藉着耶稣基督得儿子的名分, Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, |
|
1:6 |
使他荣耀的恩典得着称赞。这恩典是他在爱子里所赐给我们的。 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. |
|
1:7 |
我们藉这爱子的血,得蒙救赎,过犯得以赦免,乃是照他丰富的恩典。 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; |
|
1:8 |
这恩典是神用诸般智慧聪明,充充足足赏给我们的, Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; |
|
1:9 |
都是照他自己所豫定的美意,叫我们知道他旨意的奥秘, Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: |
|
1:10 |
要照所安排的,在日期满足的时候,使天上地上一切所有的,都在基督里同归于一。 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: |
|
1:11 |
我们也在他里面得了基业,(得或作成)这原是那位随己意行作万事的,照着他旨意所豫定的。 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: |
|
1:12 |
叫他的荣耀,从我们这首先在基督里有盼望的人,可以得着称赞。 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. |
|
1:13 |
你们既听见真里的道,就是那叫你们得救的福音,也信了基督,既然信他,就受了所应许的圣灵为印记。 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, |
|
1:14 |
这圣灵,是我们得基业的凭据,(原文作质)直等到神之民(民原文作产业)被赎,使他的荣耀得着称赞。 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory. |
|
1:15 |
因此,我既听见你们信从主耶稣,亲爱众圣徒, Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, |
|
1:16 |
就为你们不住的感谢神,祷告的时候,常题到你们。 Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; |
|
1:17 |
求我们主耶稣基督的神,荣耀的父,将那赐人智慧和启示的灵,赏给你们,使你们真知道他。 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: |
|
1:18 |
并且照明你们心中的眼睛,使你们知道他的恩召有何等指望。他在圣徒中得的基业,有何等丰盛的荣耀。 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, |
|
1:19 |
并知道他向我们这信的人所显的能力,是何等浩大, And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, |
|
1:20 |
就是照他在基督身上,所运行的大能大力,使他从死里复活,叫他在天上坐在自己的右边, Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, |
|
1:21 |
远超过一切执政的,掌权的,有能的,主治的,和一切有名的。不但是今世的,连来世的也都超过了。 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: |
|
1:22 |
又将万有服在他的脚下,使他为教会作万有之首。 And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, |
|
1:23 |
教会是他的身体,是那充满万有者所充满的。 Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all. |
