Ephesians 1
- 1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, to the saints that are at Ephesus, and the faithful in Christ Jesus:
- 2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
- 3 Blessedbethe God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ:
- 4 even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blemish before him in love:
- 5 having foreordained us unto adoption as sons through Jesus Christ unto himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
- 6 to the praise of the glory of his grace, which he freely bestowed on us in the Beloved:
- 7 in whom we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,
- 8 which he made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence,
- 9 making known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in him
- 10 unto a dispensation of the fulness of the times, to sum up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens, and the things upon the earth; in him, I say,
- 11 in whom also we were made a heritage, having been foreordained according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his will;
- 12 to the end that we should be unto the praise of his glory, we who had before hoped in Christ:
- 13 in whom ye also, having heard the word of the truth, the gospel of your salvation,—in whom, having also believed, ye were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,
- 14 which is an earnest of our inheritance, unto the redemption of God’s own possession, unto the praise of his glory.
- 15 For this cause I also, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which is among you, and the love which ye show toward all the saints,
- 16 cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;
- 17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him;
- 18 having the eyes of your heart enlightened, that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
- 19 and what the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to that working of the strength of his might
- 20 which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and made him to sit at his right hand in the heavenly places,
- 21 far above all rule, and authority, and power, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:
- 22 and he put all things in subjection under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things to the church,
- 23 which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.

American Standard Version (asv - 2)
2021-02-18English (en)
The American Standard Version (ASV) of the Holy Bible is in the Public Domain. Please feel free to copy it, give it away, memorize it, publish it, sell it, or whatever God leads you to do with it.
The American Standard Version of 1901 is an Americanization of the English Revised Bible, which is an update of the KJV to less archaic spelling and greater accuracy of translation. It has been called "The Rock of Biblical Honesty." It is the product of the work of over 50 Evangelical Christian scholars.
While the ASV retains many archaic word forms, it is still more understandable to the modern reader than the KJV in many passages. The ASV also forms the basis for several modern English translations, including the World English Bible (http://www.eBible.org/bible/WEB), which is also in the Public Domain. The ASV uses "Jehovah" for Godߴs proper name. While the current consensus is that this Holy Name was more likely pronounced "Yahweh," it is refreshing to see this rendition instead of the overloading of the word "Lord" that the KJV, NASB, and many others do.
Pronouns referring to God are not capitalized in the ASV, as they are not in the NIV and some others, breaking the tradition of the KJV. Since Hebrew has no such thing as tense, and the oldest Greek manuscripts are all upper case, anyway, this tradition was based only on English usage around 1600, anyway. Not capitalizing these pronouns solves some translational problems, such as the coronation psalms, which refer equally well to an earthly king and to God.- Encoding: UTF-8
