Ephesians 1:2-11

2Grace to you and peace from 1God our Father, and [the] Lord Jesus Christ.

3Blessed [be] the 2God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenlies in Christ;

4according as he has chosen us in him before [the] world's foundation, that we should be holy and blameless before him in love;

5having marked us out beforehand for adoption through Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,

6to [the] praise of [the] glory of his grace, wherein he has taken us into favour in the Beloved:

7in whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of offences, according to the riches of his grace;

8which he has caused to abound towards us in all wisdom and intelligence,

9having made known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in himself

10for [the] administration of the fulness of times; to head up all things in the Christ, the things in the heavens and the things upon the earth; in him,

11in whom we have also obtained an inheritance, being marked out beforehand according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his own will,
