Eph 1:7         In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace

 

Eph 1:13       And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit,

 

Eph 2:4-5      But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions–it is by grace you have been saved.

 

Eph 2:8-9      For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith–and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God– not by works, so that no one can boast.

 

Eph 2:13       But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.

 

Eph 2:19       Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with God's people and members of God's household,

 

Eph 3:16       I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being,

 

Eph 3:19       and to know this love that surpasses knowledge–that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

 

Eph 4:4-6      There is one body and one Spirit–just as you were called to one hope when you were called– one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.

 

Eph 4:22       You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires;

 

Eph 4:24       and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.

 

Eph 4:29       Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.

 

Eph 4:32       Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

 

Eph 5:1-2      Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

 

Eph 5:8         For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light

 

Eph 5:10       and find out what pleases the Lord.

 

Eph 5:17       Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is.

 

Eph 6:10       Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.

 

Eph 6:11       Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes.

 

Eph 6:18       And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.
