وجعَلَ كُلَّ شيءٍ تَحتَ قَدَمَيْهِ ورَفَعَهُ فَوقَ كُلِّ شيءٍ رَأْسًا لِلكنيسَةِ الّتي هِيَ جَسَدُهُ ومِلؤُهُ، وهوَ الّذي يَملأُ كُلَّ شيءٍ في كُلِّ شيءٍ
من رسالة القدس بولس الرسول إلى أفسس/01/من01حتى15/مِنْ بولُسَ، رَسولِ المَسيحِ يَسوعَ بِمَشيئَةِ اللهِ، إلى الإخوَةِ القِدِّيسينَ الّذينَ في أَفسُسَ، المُؤمِنينَ في المَسيحِ يَسوعَ. علَيكُمُ النِّعمَةُ والسَّلامُ مِنَ اللهِ أبينا ومِنَ الرَّبِّ يَسوعَ المَسيحِ. تَبارَكَ اللهُ أبو ربِّنا يَسوعَ المَسيحِ، بارَكنا في المَسيحِ كُلَّ بَركَةٍ روحِيَّةٍ في السَّماواتِ، فاختارَنا فيهِ قَبلَ إنشاءِ العالَمِ لِنكونَ عِندَهُ قِدِّيسينَ بِلا لَومٍ في المَحبَّةِ، وقَضى بِسابِقِ تَدبيرِهِ أنْ يَتَبنّانا بِيَسوعَ المَسيحِ على ما ارتَضى وشاءَ، لِحَمدِ نِعمَتِهِ المَجيدَةِ الّتي أنعَمَ بِها علَينا في ابنِه الحَبيبِ. فكانَ لنا فيهِ الفِداءُ بِدَمِهِ، أي غُفرانُ الخَطايا، على مِقدارِ غِنى نِعمَتِهِ الّتي أفاضَها علَينا بِكُلِّ ما فيها مِنْ حِكمَةٍ وفَهمٍ، فكشَفَ لَنا سِرَّ مَشيئَتِهِ الّتي ارتَضى في نَفسِهِ أنْ يُحَقِّقَها، أيِ التَّدبيرَ الّذي يُتَمِّمُه عِندَما تكْتَمِلُ الأزمِنَةُ، فيَجمَعُ في المَسيحِ كُلَّ شيءٍ في السَّماواتِ وفي الأرضِ. وفيهِ قَضى اللهُ بِسابِقِ تَدبيرِهِ، وهوَ الّذي يَفعَلُ كُلَّ شيءٍ على ما تَرضى مَشيئَتُهُ، أنْ يَختارَنا لِنُسَبِّحَ بمَجدِهِ، نَحنُ الّذينَ جَعَلوا رَجاءَهُم مِنْ قَديمِ الزَّمانِ في المَسيحِ. وفيهِ أنتُم أيضًا، حينَ سَمِعتُم كلامَ الحَقِّ، أي بِشارَةَ خَلاصِكُم، وآمَنتُم، خُتِمتُم بالرُّوحِ القُدُسِ المَوعودِ، وهوَ عُربونُ ميراثِنا، إلى أنْ يَفتديَ اللهُ خاصَّتَهُ لِلتَّسبيحِ بِمَجدِه. لذلِكَ، ما إنْ سَمِعتُ بإيمانِكُم بالرَّبِّ يَسوعَ وبِمَحبَّتِكُم لِجَميعِ الإخوَةِ القِدِّيسينَ، حتّى أخذتُ أشكُرُ اللهَ بِلا انقِطاعٍ لأجلِكُم وأُذكرُكُم في صَلَواتي وأطلُبُ مِنْ إلهِ رَبِّنا يَسوعَ المَسيحِ، الآبِ المَجيدِ، أنْ يَهَبَ لكُم رُوحَ حِكمَةٍ يكشِفُ لكُم عَنهُ لِتَعرفوهُ حَقَّ المَعرِفَةِ، وأنْ يُنيرَ بَصائِرَ قُلوبِكُم لِتُدرِكوا إلى أيِّ رَجاءٍ دعاكُم وأيَّ كُنوزِ مَجدٍ جَعَلَها لكُم ميراثًا بَينَ القِدِّيسينَ وأيّ قُوَّةٍ عظيمةٍ فائِقَةٍ تَعمَلُ لأجلِنا نَحنُ المُؤمنينَ وهِيَ قُدرَةُ الله الجَبّارَةُ  الّتي أظهَرَها في المَسيحِ حينَ أقامَهُ مِنْ بَينِ الأمواتِ وأجلَسَهُ إلى يَمينِهِ في السَّماواتِ، فوقَ كُلِّ رِئاسَةٍ وسُلطانٍ وقُوَّةٍ وسِيادَةٍ، وفَوقَ كُلِّ اسمِ يُسَمَّى، لا في هذا الدَّهرِ فقط، بَلْ في الدَّهرِ الآتي أيضًا، وجعَلَ كُلَّ شيءٍ تَحتَ قَدَمَيْهِ ورَفَعَهُ فَوقَ كُلِّ شيءٍ رَأْسًا لِلكنيسَةِ الّتي هِيَ جَسَدُهُ ومِلؤُهُ، وهوَ الّذي يَملأُ كُلَّ شيءٍ في كُلِّ شيءٍ.

God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church,  which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.
Ephesians/01/01-15: “Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, to God’s holy people in Ephesus, the faithful in Christ Jesus:  Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ.  For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love  he predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will— to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace  that he lavished on us. With all wisdom and understanding,  he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ. In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will,  in order that we, who were the first to put our hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory.  And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit,  who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory. For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all God’s people,  I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers.  I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people,  and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms,  far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come.  And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church,  which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.
