1 Па́ѵелъ, посла́нникъ і҆и҃съ хрⷭ҇то́въ во́лею бж҃їею, ст҃ы̑мъ сꙋ́щымъ во є҆фе́сѣ и҆ вѣ́рнымъ ѡ҆ хрⷭ҇тѣ̀ і҆и҃сѣ: 2 блгⷣть ва́мъ и҆ ми́ръ ѿ бг҃а ѻ҆ц҃а̀ на́шегѡ и҆ гдⷭ҇а і҆и҃са хрⷭ҇та̀. 3 Блгⷭ҇ве́нъ бг҃ъ и҆ ѻ҆ц҃ъ гдⷭ҇а на́шегѡ і҆и҃са хрⷭ҇та̀, блгⷭ҇ви́вый на́съ всѧ́цѣмъ блгⷭ҇ве́нїемъ дꙋхо́внымъ въ нбⷭ҇ныхъ ѡ҆ хрⷭ҇тѣ̀, 4 ꙗ҆́коже и҆збра̀ на́съ въ не́мъ пре́жде сложе́нїѧ мі́ра, бы́ти на́мъ ст҃ы̑мъ и҆ непорѡ́чнымъ пред̾ ни́мъ въ любвѝ, 5 пре́жде наре́къ на́съ во ᲂу҆сыновле́нїе і҆и҃съ хрⷭ҇то́мъ въ него̀, по бл҃говоле́нїю хотѣ́нїѧ своегѡ̀, 6 въ похвалꙋ̀ сла́вы блгⷣти своеѧ̀, є҆́юже ѡ҆бл҃годатѝ на́съ ѡ҆ возлю́бленнѣмъ: 7 ѡ҆ не́мже и҆́мамы и҆збавле́нїе кро́вїю є҆гѡ̀, и҆ ѡ҆ставле́нїе прегрѣше́нїи, по бога́тствꙋ блгⷣти є҆гѡ̀, 8 ю҆́же преꙋмно́жилъ є҆́сть въ на́съ во всѧ́цѣй премꙋ́дрости и҆ ра́зꙋмѣ, 9 сказа́въ на́мъ та́йнꙋ во́ли своеѧ̀ по бл҃говоле́нїю своемꙋ̀, є҆́же пре́жде положѝ въ не́мъ, 10 въ смотре́нїе и҆сполне́нїѧ време́нъ, возглави́ти всѧ́чєскаѧ ѡ҆ хрⷭ҇тѣ̀, ꙗ҆̀же на нб҃сѣ́хъ и҆ ꙗ҆̀же на землѝ въ не́мъ: 11 въ не́мже и҆ наслѣ̑дницы сотвори́хомсѧ, пре́жде нарече́ни бы́вше по прозрѣ́нїю бж҃їю всѧ̑ дѣ́йствꙋющагѡ по совѣ́тꙋ во́ли своеѧ̀, 12 ꙗ҆́кѡ бы́ти на́мъ въ похвале́нїе сла́вы є҆гѡ̀, пре́жде ᲂу҆пова́вшымъ во хрⷭ҇та̀: 13 въ не́мже и҆ вы̀, слы́шавше сло́во и҆́стины, бл҃говѣствова́нїе спⷭ҇нїѧ на́шегѡ, въ не́мже и҆ вѣ́ровавше зна́менастесѧ дх҃омъ ѡ҆бѣтова́нїѧ ст҃ы́мъ, 14 и҆́же є҆́сть ѡ҆брꙋче́нїе наслѣ́дїѧ на́шегѡ, во и҆збавле́нїе снабдѣ́нїѧ, въ похвалꙋ̀ сла́вы є҆гѡ̀. 15 Сегѡ̀ ра́ди и҆ а҆́зъ слы́шавъ ва́шꙋ вѣ́рꙋ ѡ҆ хрⷭ҇тѣ̀ і҆и҃сѣ и҆ любо́вь, ꙗ҆́же ко всѣ̑мъ ст҃ы̑мъ, 16 не престаю̀ благодарѧ̀ ѡ҆ ва́съ, помина́нїе ѡ҆ ва́съ творѧ̀ въ моли́твахъ мои́хъ, 17 да бг҃ъ гдⷭ҇а на́шегѡ і҆и҃са хрⷭ҇та̀, ѻ҆ц҃ъ сла́вы, да́стъ ва́мъ дх҃а премꙋ́дрости и҆ ѿкрове́нїѧ, въ позна́нїе є҆гѡ̀, 18 просвѣщє́нна ѻ҆чеса̀ се́рдца ва́шегѡ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ᲂу҆вѣ́дѣти ва́мъ, ко́е є҆́сть ᲂу҆пова́нїе зва́нїѧ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ ко́е бога́тство сла́вы достоѧ́нїѧ є҆гѡ̀ во ст҃ы́хъ, 19 и҆ ко́е преспѣ́ющее вели́чество си́лы є҆гѡ̀ въ на́съ вѣ́рꙋющихъ по дѣ́йствꙋ держа́вы крѣ́пости є҆гѡ̀, 20 ю҆́же содѣ́ѧ ѡ҆ хрⷭ҇тѣ̀, воскреси́въ є҆го̀ ѿ ме́ртвыхъ и҆ посади́въ ѡ҆деснꙋ́ю себє̀ на нбⷭ҇ныхъ, 21 превы́ше всѧ́кагѡ нача́льства и҆ вла́сти и҆ си́лы и҆ госпо́дства, и҆ всѧ́кагѡ и҆́мене и҆менꙋ́емагѡ не то́чїю въ вѣ́цѣ се́мъ, но и҆ во грѧдꙋ́щемъ: 22 и҆ всѧ̑ покорѝ под̾ но́зѣ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ того̀ дадѐ главꙋ̀ вы́ше всѣ́хъ цр҃кви, 23 ꙗ҆́же є҆́сть тѣ́ло є҆гѡ̀, и҆сполне́нїе и҆сполнѧ́ющагѡ всѧ́чєскаѧ во всѣ́хъ.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Quotes verse 1:10 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book I, Chapters III–IV)

    … that Paul said, "And He Himself is all things;" and again, "All things are to Him, and of Him are all things;" and further, "In Him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead;" and yet again, "All things are gathered together by God in Christ." Thus do they interpret these and any like passages to be found in Scripture.

  2. Quotes verse 1:20 Augustine of Hippo, Confessions (Book IX)

    And Thou, O Lord, hadst already magnified Thy Holy One, raising Him from the dead, and setting Him at Thy right hand, whence from on high He should send His promise, the Paraclete, "the Spirit of Truth." And He had already sent Him, but I knew it not; He had sent Him, because He was now magnified, rising again from …

  3. Quotes verse 1:19 Cyril of Jerusalem, Catechetical Lectures (Lecture XIV)

    And charging the Ephesians, he thus speaks, According to the working of His mighty power, which He wrought in Christ when He raised Him from the dead, and set Him at His own right hand; and the rest.

  4. Quotes verse 1:17 Gregory of Nazianzus, Theological Orations (The Fourth Theological Oration, Which is the Second Concerning the Son)

    And an indication of this is found in the fact that wherever the Natures are distinguished in our thoughts from one another, the Names are also distinguished; as you hear in Paul's words, "The God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of Glory." The God of Christ, but the Father of glory.

  5. Quotes verse 1:22 Basil of Caesarea, On the Holy Spirit (Chapter V)

    … body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered increaseth with the increase of God." And that Christ is the head of the Church we have learned in another passage, when the apostle says "gave him to be the head over all things to the Church," and "of his fulness have all we received." And the Lord Himself says "He shall …
