Ephesians 1:3-14

³Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, ⁴just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him. In love ⁵He predestined us to adoption as sons and daughters through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, ⁶to the praise of the glory of His grace, with which He favored us in the Beloved. ⁷In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our wrongdoings, according to the riches of His grace ⁸which He lavished on us. In all wisdom and insight ⁹He made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He set forth in Him, ¹⁰regarding His plan of the fullness of the times, to bring all things together in Christ, things in the heavens and things on the earth. ¹¹In Him we also have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things in accordance with the plan of His will, ¹²to the end that we who were the first to hope in the Christ would be to the praise of His glory. ¹³In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation—having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of the promise, ¹⁴who is a first installment of our inheritance, in regard to the redemption of God’s own possession, to the praise of His glory.
