Ephesians 1:2-11

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

3 2Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in 3the heavenly places in Christ, 4just as 4He chose us in Him before 5the foundation of the world, that we would be 6holy and blameless before 7Him. 8In love 5 9He 10predestined us to 11adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, 12according to the 13kind intention of His will, 6 14to the praise of the glory of His grace, which He freely bestowed on us in 15the Beloved. 7 16In 17Him we have 18redemption 19through His blood, the 20forgiveness of our trespasses, according to 21the riches of His grace 8which He 22lavished on 23us. In all wisdom and insight 9He 24 25made known to us the mystery of His will, 26according to His 27kind intention which He 28purposed in Him 10with a view to an administration 29suitable to 30the fullness of the times, that is, 31the summing up of all things in Christ, things 32in the heavens and things on the earth. In Him 11 33also we 34 35have obtained an inheritance, having been 36predestined 37according to His purpose who works all things 38after the counsel of His will,
