Ephesians 1:3-10
31Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in 2the heavenly places in Christ,
4just as 3He chose us in Him before 4the foundation of the world, that we would be 5holy and blameless before 6Him. 7In love
58He 9predestined us to 10adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, 11according to the 12kind intention of His will,
613to the praise of the glory of His grace, which He freely bestowed on us in 14the Beloved.
715In 16Him we have 17redemption 18through His blood, the 19forgiveness of our trespasses, according to 20the riches of His grace
8which He 21lavished on 22us. In all wisdom and insight
9He 2324made known to us the mystery of His will, 25according to His 26kind intention which He 27purposed in Him
10with a view to an administration 28suitable to 29the fullness of the times, that is, 30the summing up of all things in Christ, things 31in the heavens and things on the earth. In Him
