Ephesians 1:9-14
9He 12made known to us the mystery of His will, 3according to His 4kind intention which He 5purposed in Him 10with a view to an administration 6suitable to 7the fullness of the times, that is, 8the summing up of all things in Christ, things 9in the heavens and things on the earth. In Him 1110also we 1112have obtained an inheritance, having been 13predestined 14according to His purpose who works all things 15after the counsel of His will, 12to the end that we who were the first to hope in 16Christ would be 17to the praise of His glory. 13In 18Him, you also, after listening to 19the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation--having also 20believed, you were 21sealed in 22Him with 23the Holy Spirit of promise, 14who is 2425given as a pledge of 26our inheritance, with a view to the 27redemption of 28God’s own possession, 29to the praise of His glory.
