1 From Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus. I am an apostle because that is what God wanted.To God’s holy people living in Ephesus, believers in Christ Jesus:
2 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. In Christ, God has given us every spiritual blessing in the heavenly world.
4 That is, in Christ, he chose us before the world was made so that we would be his holy people—people without blame before him.
