以弗所書-Ephesians 第 1 章

1:1憑神旨意,作基督耶穌使徒的保羅,寫信給在以弗所的聖徒,就是在基督耶穌裡的忠信者:
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, to the saints who are in Ephesus and are faithful in Christ Jesus:
1:2願恩典與平安,從神我們的父,並主耶穌基督歸與你們。
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
1:3我們主耶穌基督的神與父,是當受頌讚的,祂在基督裡,曾用諸天界裡各樣屬靈的福分,祝福了我們;
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenlies in Christ,
1:4就如祂在創立世界以前,在基督裡揀選了我們,使我們在愛裡,在祂面前,成為聖別、沒有瑕疵;
Even as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world to be holy and without blemish before Him in love,
1:5按著祂意願所喜悅的,預定了我們,藉著耶穌基督得兒子的名分,歸於祂自己,
Predestinating us unto sonship through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will,
1:6使祂恩典的榮耀得著稱讚,這恩典是祂在那蒙愛者裡面所恩賜我們的;
To the praise of the glory of His grace, with which He graced us in the Beloved;
1:7我們在這蒙愛者裡面,藉著祂的血,照著神恩典的豐富,得蒙救贖,就是過犯得以赦免,
In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of offenses, according to the riches of His grace,
1:8這恩典是神用全般的智慧和明達,使其向我們洋溢的,
Which He caused to abound to us in all wisdom and prudence,
1:9照著祂的喜悅,使我們知道祂意願的奧秘;這喜悅是祂在自己裡面預先定下的,
Making known to us the mystery of His will according to His good pleasure, which He purposed in Himself,
1:10為著時期滿足時的經綸,要將萬有,無論是在諸天之上的,或是在地上的,都在基督裡歸一於一個元首之下;
Unto the economy of the fullness of the times, to head up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens and the things on the earth, in Him;
1:11我們既在祂裡面,照著那位按祂意願所決議的,行作萬事者的定旨,蒙了預定,也就在祂裡面成了所選定的基業,
In whom also we were designated as an inheritance, having been predestinated according to the purpose of the One who works all things according to the counsel of His will,
1:12以致我們這首先在基督裡有盼望的人,可使祂的榮耀得著稱讚;
That we would be to the praise of His glory who have first hoped in Christ.
1:13你們既聽了真理的話,就是那叫你們得救的福音,也在祂裡面信了,就在祂裡面受了所應許的聖靈為印記;
In whom you also, having heard the word of the truth, the gospel of your salvation, in Him also believing, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of the promise,
1:14這聖靈是我們得基業的憑質,為使神所買的產業得贖,使祂的榮耀得著稱讚。
Who is the pledge of our inheritance unto the redemption of the acquired possession, to the praise of His glory.
1:15因此,我既聽見你們中間對主耶穌的信,並對眾聖徒的愛,
Therefore I also, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which is among you and your love to all the saints,
1:16也就為你們不住的感謝,在我的禱告中常提到你們;
Do not cease giving thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers,
1:17願我們主耶穌基督的神,榮耀的父,賜給你們智慧和啟示的靈,使你們充分的認識祂;
That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the full knowledge of Him,
1:18光照你們的心眼,使你們知道祂的呼召有何等盼望;祂在聖徒中之基業的榮耀,有何等豐富;
The eyes of your heart having been 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,
1:19以及祂的能力向著我們這信的人,照祂力量之權能的運行,是何等超越的浩大,
And what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the operation of the might of His strength,
1:20就是祂在基督身上所運行的,使祂從死人中復活,叫祂在諸天界裡,坐在自己的右邊,
Which He caused to operate in Christ in raising Him from the dead and seating Him at His right hand in the heavenlies,
1:21遠超過一切執政的、掌權的、有能的、主治的、以及一切受稱之名,不但是今世的,連來世的也都在內,
Far above all rule and authority and power and lordship and every name that is named not only in this age but also in that which is to come;
1:22將萬有服在祂的腳下,並使祂向著召會作萬有的頭;
And He subjected all things under His feet and gave Him to be Head over all things to the church,
1:23召會是祂的身體,是那在萬有中充滿萬有者的豐滿。
Which is His Body, the fullness of the One who fills all in all.
