2 And there was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, and his
name was Manoah. And his wife was barren, and had not borne.
3 And the Messenger of YAHUVEH appeared to the woman, and said to her, Behold
now, you are barren and have not borne. But you shall conceive and bear a son.
4 And now take heed, and please do not drink wine or fermented drink; and do not
eat any unclean thing.
5 For, behold, you are pregnant and bearing a son. And a razor shall not go on
his head, for the boy shall be a Nazarite to Elohim from the womb. And he shall
begin to save Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.
Ephesians 1:1–23
1 Paul, an apostle of YAHUSHUA Messiah through the will of YAHUVEH, to the
saints being in Ephesus and faithful in Messiah YAHUSHUA:
2 Grace to you and peace from YAHUVEH our Father and the Master YAHUSHUA
Messiah.
3 Blessed is the Elohim and Father of our Master YAHUSHUA Messiah, who blessed
us with every spiritual blessing in heaven through Messiah,
4 even as He elected us in Him before the foundation of the world, for us to be
holy and without blemish before Him in love,
5 And He marked us with His love to be His from the beginning and adopted us to
be sons through YAHUSHUA Messiah, according to how it pleased His will,
6 to the praise of the glory of His grace in which He poured upon us by His
beloved one,
7 in whom we have redemption through His blood, the remission of sins, according
to the riches of His grace
8 which He caused to abound toward us in all wisdom and understanding,
9 making known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure
which He purposed in Himself,
10 as a stewardship of the fullness of the times that all things might be made
new, both in the heavens, and the things on the earth, through Messiah,
11 by whom we have been chosen as He marked us from the beginning so He wanted
to carry out everything according to the good judgment of His will,
12 that we should become the first to trust in Messiah to His honor and glory;
13 in whom, you also have heard the Word of Truth, which is the good news of
your salvation, in Him you have believed, so you were sealed with the Holy
Spirit that was promised,
14 which is the pledge of our inheritance, to the redemption of the purchased
possession, to the praise of His glory.
15 Because of this, hearing of your faith in our Master YAHUSHUA Messiah and
your love toward all the saints,
16 I also do not cease giving thanks on your behalf, making mention of you in my
prayers,
17 that the Elohim of our Master YAHUSHUA Messiah, the Father of glory, may give
to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the full knowledge of Him,
18 the eyes of your mind having been enlightened, for you to know what is the
hope of His calling, and what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in
the saints,
19 and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us, the ones
believing according to the working of His mighty strength
20 which He worked in Messiah in raising Him from the dead; and He seated Him at
His own right hand in heaven1, (Psa. 110:1)
21 far above all cherubs2, and authority, and power, and dominion, and every
name having been named3, not only in this age, but also in the coming age;
22 and "He put all things under His feet" and gave Him to be Head over all
things to the Congregation, (Psa. 8:6)
23 which is His body: the fullness of the One filling all things and everything;
