Ephesians 1:9-23

9He made known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure that he purposed in Christ

10as a plan for the right time  — to bring everything together in Christ, both things in heaven and things on earth in him.

11In him we have also received an inheritance, because we were predestined according to the plan of the one who works out everything in agreement with the purpose of his will,

12so that we who had already put our hope in Christ might bring praise to his glory.

13In him you also were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and when you believed.

14The Holy Spirit is the down payment of our inheritance, until the redemption of the possession, to the praise of his glory.

15This is why, since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints,

16I never stop giving thanks for you as I remember you in my prayers.

17I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, would give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him.

18I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened so that you may know what is the hope of his calling, what is the wealth of his glorious inheritance in the saints,

19and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the mighty working of his strength.

20He exercised this power in Christ by raising him from the dead and seating him at his right hand in the heavens  —

21far above every ruler and authority, power and dominion, and every title given, not only in this age but also in the one to come.

22And he subjected everything under his feet and appointed him as head over everything for the church,

23which is his body, the fullness of the one who fills all things in every way.
