1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, to the saints who are in Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus:
1 PABLO, apóstol de Jesucristo por la voluntad de Dios, á los santos y fieles en Cristo Jesús que están en Efeso:
2 Grace to you, and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ!
2 Gracia [sea] á vosotros, y paz de Dios Padre nuestro, y del Señor Jesucristo.
3 Blessed [is] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who did bless us in every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,
3 Bendito el Dios y Padre del Señor nuestro Jesucristo, el cual nos bendijo con toda bendición espiritual en [lugares] celestiales en Cristo:
4 according as He did choose us in him before the foundation of the world, for our being holy and unblemished before Him, in love,
4 Según nos escogió en él antes de la fundación del mundo, para que fuésemos santos y sin mancha delante de él en amor;
5 having foreordained us to the adoption of sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will,
5 Habiéndonos predestinado para ser adoptados hijos por Jesucristo á sí mismo, según el puro afecto de su voluntad,
6 to the praise of the glory of His grace, in which He did make us accepted in the beloved,
6 Para alabanza de la gloria de su gracia, con la cual nos hizo aceptos en el Amado:
7 in whom we have the redemption through his blood, the remission of the trespasses, according to the riches of His grace,
7 En el cual tenemos redención por su sangre, la remisión de pecados por las riquezas de su gracia,
8 in which He did abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence,
8 Que sobreabundó en nosotros en toda sabiduría é inteligencia;
9 having made known to us the secret of His will, according to His good pleasure, that He purposed in Himself,
9 Descubriéndonos el misterio de su voluntad, según su beneplácito, que se había propuesto en sí mismo,
10 in regard to the dispensation of the fulness of the times, to bring into one the whole in the Christ, both the things in the heavens, and the things upon the earth — in him;
10 De reunir todas las cosas en Cristo, en la dispensación del cumplimiento de los tiempos, así las que [están] en los cielos, como las que [están] en la tierra:
11 in whom also we did obtain an inheritance, being foreordained according to the purpose of Him who the all things is working according to the counsel of His will,
11 En él [digo], en quien asimismo tuvimos suerte, habiendo sido predestinados conforme al propósito del que hace todas las cosas según el consejo de su voluntad,
12 for our being to the praise of His glory, [even] those who did first hope in the Christ,
12 Para que seamos para alabanza de su gloria, nosotros que antes esperamos en Cristo.
13 in whom ye also, having heard the word of the truth — the good news of your salvation — in whom also having believed, ye were sealed with the Holy Spirit of the promise,
13 En el cual [esperasteis] también vosotros en oyendo la palabra de verdad, el evangelio de vuestra salud: en el cual también desde que creísteis, fuisteis sellados con el Espíritu Santo de la promesa,
14 which is an earnest of our inheritance, to the redemption of the acquired possession, to the praise of His glory.
14 Que es las arras de nuestra herencia, para la redención de la posesión adquirida para alabanza de su gloria.
15 Because of this I also, having heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and the love to all the saints,
15 Por lo cual también yo, habiendo oído de vuestra fe en el Señor Jesús, y amor para con todos los santos,
16 do not cease giving thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers,
16 No ceso de dar gracias por vosotros, haciendo memoria de vosotros en mis oraciones;
17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of the glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the recognition of him,
17 Que el Dios del Señor nuestro Jesucristo, el Padre de gloria, os dé espíritu de sabiduría y de revelación para su conocimiento;
18 the eyes of your understanding being enlightened, for your knowing what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,
18 Alumbrando los ojos de vuestro entendimiento, para que sepáis cuál sea la esperanza de su vocación, y cuáles las riquezas de la gloria de su herencia en los santos,
19 and what the exceeding greatness of His power to us who are believing, according to the working of the power of His might,
19 Y cuál aquella supereminente grandeza de su poder para con nosotros los que creemos, por la operación de la potencia de su fortaleza,
20 which He wrought in the Christ, having raised him out of the dead, and did set [him] at His right hand in the heavenly [places],
20 La cual obró en Cristo, resucitándole de los muertos, y colocándole á su diestra en los cielos,
21 far above all principality, and authority, and might, and lordship, and every name named, not only in this age, but also in the coming one;
21 Sobre todo principado, y potestad, y potencia, y señorío, y todo nombre que se nombra, no sólo en este siglo, mas aun en el venidero:
22 and all things He did put under his feet, and did give him — head over all things to the assembly,
22 Y sometió todas las cosas debajo de sus pies, y diólo por cabeza sobre todas las cosas á la iglesia,
23 which is his body, the fulness of Him who is filling the all in all,
23 La cual es su cuerpo, la plenitud de Aquel que hinche todas las cosas en todos.

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).
… 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.
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 …

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.

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.

… 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 …
