Ephesians 1:11-14

11 1also we 2 3have obtained an inheritance, having been 4predestined 5according to His purpose who works all things 6after the counsel of His will, 12to the end that we who were the first to hope in 7Christ would be 8to the praise of His glory. 13In 9Him, you also, after listening to 10the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation--having also 11believed, you were 12sealed in 13Him with 14the Holy Spirit of promise, 14who is 15 16given as a pledge of 17our inheritance, with a view to the 18redemption of 19God’s own possession, 20to the praise of His glory.
