1 Sha’ul, an emissary of יהושע Messiah by the desire of Elohim, to the set-apart ones who are in Ephesos, and true to Messiah יהושע:
2 Favour to you and peace from Elohim our Father and the Master יהושע Messiah.
3 Blessed be the Elohim and Father of our Master יהושע Messiah, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenlies in Messiah,
4 even as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be set-apart and blameless before Him in love,
5 having previously ordained us to adoption as sons through יהושע Messiah to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His desire,
6 to the praise of the esteem of His favour with which He favoured us in the Beloved,
