Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, to the saints who are at Ephesus, and the faithful in Christ Jesus:
1Paulus Apostolus Jesu Christi per voluntatem Dei, omnibus sanctis qui sunt Ephesi, et fidelibus in Christo Jesu.
2Grace to you and peace 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 with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,
3Benedictus Deus et Pater Domini nostri Jesu Christi, qui benedixit nos in omni benedictione spirituali in cælestibus in Christo,
4even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and without defect before him in love,
4sicut elegit nos in ipso ante mundi constitutionem, ut essemus sancti et immaculati in conspectu ejus in caritate.
5having predestined us for adoption as children through Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his desire,
5Qui prædestinavit nos in adoptionem filiorum per Jesum Christum in ipsum: secundum propositum voluntatis suæ,
6to the praise of the glory of his grace, by which he freely gave us favor in the Beloved.
6in laudem gloriæ gratiæ suæ, in qua gratificavit nos in dilecto Filio suo.
7In him we have our 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,
8which he made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence,
8quæ superabundavit in nobis in omni sapientia et prudentia:
9making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in him
9ut notum faceret nobis sacramentum voluntatis suæ, secundum beneplacitum ejus, quod proposuit in eo,
10to an administration of the fullness of the times, to sum up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens and the things on the earth, in him.
10in dispensatione plenitudinis temporum, instaurare omnia in Christo, quæ in cælis et quæ in terra sunt, in ipso;
11We were also assigned an inheritance in him, having been foreordained according to the purpose of him who does all things after the counsel of his will,
11in quo etiam et nos sorte vocati sumus prædestinati secundum propositum ejus qui operatur omnia secundum consilium voluntatis suæ:
12to the end that we should be to the praise of his glory, we who had before hoped in Christ.
12ut simus in laudem gloriæ ejus nos, qui ante speravimus in Christo;
13In him you also, having heard the word of the truth, the Good News of your salvation—in whom, having also believed, 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 a pledge of our inheritance, to the redemption of God’s own possession, to the praise of his glory.
14qui est pignus hæreditatis nostræ, in redemptionem acquisitionis, in laudem gloriæ ipsius.
15For this cause I also, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which is among you and the love which you have toward all the saints,
15Propterea et ego audiens fidem vestram, quæ est in Domino Jesu, et dilectionem in omnes sanctos,
16don’t cease to give thanks for you, making mention of 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 Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him,
17ut Deus Domini nostri Jesu Christi, Pater gloriæ, det vobis spiritum sapientiæ et revelationis in agnitione ejus,
18having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of his calling, and what are the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
18illuminatos oculos cordis vestri, ut sciatis quæ sit spes vocationis ejus, et quæ divitiæ gloriæ hæreditatis ejus in sanctis,
19and what is the exceeding greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to that working of the strength of his might
19et quæ sit supereminens magnitudo virtutis ejus in nos, qui credimus secundum operationem potentiæ virtutis ejus,
20which he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and made him to sit at his right hand in the heavenly places,
20quam operatus est in Christo, suscitans illum a mortuis, et constituens ad dexteram suam in cælestibus:
21far above all rule, authority, power, dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age, but also in that which is 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.
22He put all things in subjection under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things for the assembly,
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.
