Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, To the saints in Ephesus, the faithful in Christ Jesus:
1Paulus Apostolus Jesu Christi per voluntatem Dei, omnibus sanctis qui sunt Ephesi, et fidelibus in Christo Jesu.
2Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
2Gratia vobis, et pax a Deo Patre nostro, et Domino Jesu Christo.
3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms.
3Benedictus Deus et Pater Domini nostri Jesu Christi, qui benedixit nos in omni benedictione spirituali in cælestibus in Christo,
4For He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world to be holy and blameless in His presence. In love
4sicut elegit nos in ipso ante mundi constitutionem, ut essemus sancti et immaculati in conspectu ejus in caritate.
5He predestined us for adoption as His sons through Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of His will,
5Qui prædestinavit nos in adoptionem filiorum per Jesum Christum in ipsum: secundum propositum voluntatis suæ,
6to the praise of His glorious grace, which He has freely given us in the Beloved One.
6in laudem gloriæ gratiæ suæ, in qua gratificavit nos in dilecto Filio suo.
7In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace
7In quo habemus redemptionem per sanguinem ejus, remissionem peccatorum secundum divitias gratiæ ejus,
8that He lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding.
8quæ superabundavit in nobis in omni sapientia et prudentia:
9And He has made known to us the mystery of His will according to His good pleasure, which He purposed in Christ
9ut notum faceret nobis sacramentum voluntatis suæ, secundum beneplacitum ejus, quod proposuit in eo,
10as a plan for the fullness of time, to bring all things in heaven and on earth together in Christ.
10in dispensatione plenitudinis temporum, instaurare omnia in Christo, quæ in cælis et quæ in terra sunt, in ipso;
11In 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,
11in quo etiam et nos sorte vocati sumus prædestinati secundum propositum ejus qui operatur omnia secundum consilium voluntatis suæ:
12in order that we, who were the first to hope in Christ, would be for the praise of His glory.
12ut simus in laudem gloriæ ejus nos, qui ante speravimus in Christo;
13And in Him, having heard and believed the word of truth—the gospel of your salvation—you were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,
13in quo et vos, cum audissetis verbum veritatis, Evangelium salutis vestræ, in quo et credentes signati estis Spiritu promissionis Sancto,
14who is the pledge of our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession, to the praise of His glory.
14qui est pignus hæreditatis nostræ, in redemptionem acquisitionis, in laudem gloriæ ipsius.
15For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints,
15Propterea et ego audiens fidem vestram, quæ est in Domino Jesu, et dilectionem in omnes sanctos,
16I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers,
16non cesso gratias agens pro vobis, memoriam vestri faciens in orationibus meis:
17that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in your knowledge of Him.
17ut Deus Domini nostri Jesu Christi, Pater gloriæ, det vobis spiritum sapientiæ et revelationis in agnitione ejus,
18I 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,
18illuminatos oculos cordis vestri, ut sciatis quæ sit spes vocationis ejus, et quæ divitiæ gloriæ hæreditatis ejus in sanctis,
19and the surpassing greatness of His power to us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of His mighty strength,
19et quæ sit supereminens magnitudo virtutis ejus in nos, qui credimus secundum operationem potentiæ virtutis ejus,
20which He exerted in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly realms,
20quam operatus est in Christo, suscitans illum a mortuis, et constituens ad dexteram suam in cælestibus:
21far 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.
21supra omnem principatum, et potestatem, et virtutem, et dominationem, et omne nomen, quod nominatur non solum in hoc sæculo, sed etiam in futuro.
22And God put everything under His feet and made Him head over everything for the church,
22Et omnia subjecit sub pedibus ejus: et ipsum dedit caput supra omnem ecclesiam,
23which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.
23quæ est corpus ipsius, et plenitudo ejus, qui omnia in omnibus adimpletur.
