1 From Paul, chosen by God to be an apostle of Christ Jesus.To God's people who live in Ephesus and are faithful followers of Christ Jesus.
2 I pray that God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ will be kind to you and will bless you with peace!
3 Praise the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ for the spiritual blessings that Christ has brought us from heaven!
4 Before the world was created, God had Christ choose us to live with him and to be his holy and innocent and loving people.
5 God was kind and decided that Christ would choose us to be God's own adopted children.
6 God treated us with undeserved grace because of the Son he dearly loves, and so we should praise God.
