Ephesians 1

1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, To the saints in Ephesus, the faithful in Christ Jesus:

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。

2 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

2 愿恩惠、平安从 神我们的父和主耶稣基督归与你们！

3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms.

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：

4 For He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world to be holy and blameless in His presence. In love

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；

5 He predestined us for adoption as His sons through Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of His will,

5 又因爱我们，就按着自己的意旨所喜悦的，预定我们借着耶稣基督得儿子的名分，

6 to the praise of His glorious grace, which He has freely given us in the Beloved One.

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。

7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace

7 我们借这爱子的血得蒙救赎，过犯得以赦免，乃是照他丰富的恩典。

8 that He lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding.

8 这恩典是 神用诸般智慧聪明，充充足足赏给我们的；

9 And He has made known to us the mystery of His will according to His good pleasure, which He purposed in Christ

9 都是照他自己所预定的美意，叫我们知道他旨意的奥秘，

10 as a plan for the fullness of time, to bring all things in heaven and on earth together in Christ.

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面同归于一。

11 In Him we were also chosen as God’s own, having been predestined according to the plan of Him who works out everything by the counsel of His will,

11 我们也在他里面得 了基业；这原是那位随己意行、做万事的，照着他旨意所预定的，

12 in order that we, who were the first to hope in Christ, would be for the praise of His glory.

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。

13 And in Him, having heard and believed the word of truth—the gospel of your salvation—you were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,

13 你们既听见真理的道，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。

14 who is the pledge of our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession, to the praise of His glory.

14 这圣灵是我们得基业的凭据 ，直等到 神之民 被赎，使他的荣耀得着称赞。

15 For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints,

15 因此，我既听见你们信从主耶稣，亲爱众圣徒，

16 I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers,

16 就为你们不住地感谢 神。祷告的时候，常提到你们，

17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in your knowledge of Him.

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，

18 I ask that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you may know the hope of His calling, the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints,

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；

19 and the surpassing greatness of His power to us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of His mighty strength,

19 并知道他向我们这信的人所显的能力是何等浩大，

20 which He exerted in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly realms,

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，

21 far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in the present age but also in the one to come.

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。

22 And God put everything under His feet and made Him head over everything for the church,

22 又将万有服在他的脚下，使他为教会作万有之首。

23 which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.

23 教会是他的身体，是那充满万有者所充满的。
