Ephesians 1:10-22

10regarding His plan of 1the fullness of the times, 2to bring all things together in Christ, things 3in the heavens and things on the earth. 114In Him we also 5have obtained an inheritance, having been 6predestined 7according to the purpose of Him who works all things 8in accordance with the plan of His will, 12to the end that 9we who were the first to hope in the 10Christ would be 11to the praise of His glory. 13In 12Him, 13you also, after listening to 14the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation--having also 15believed, you were 16sealed in 17Him with 18the Holy Spirit of the promise, 14who is a 19first installment of 20our inheritance, in regard to the 21redemption of 22God’s own possession, 23to the praise of His glory.

15For this reason I too, 24having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which exists among you and 25your love for 26all the 27saints, 1628do not cease giving thanks for you, 29while making mention of you in my prayers; 17that the 30God of our Lord Jesus Christ, 31the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of 32wisdom and of 33revelation in the 34knowledge of Him. 18I pray that 35the eyes of your heart 36may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the 37hope of His 38calling, what are 39the riches of the glory of 40His inheritance in 41the 42saints, 19and what is the 43boundless greatness of His power toward us who believe. 44These are in accordance with the working of the 45strength of His might 20which He brought about in Christ, when He 46raised Him from the dead and 47seated Him at His right hand in 48the heavenly places, 21far above 49all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every 50name that is named, not only in 51this age but also in the one to come. 22And He 52put all things in subjection under His feet, and made Him 53head over all things to the church,
