Ephesians 1:13-23

13In 1Him, 2you also, after listening to 3the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation--having also 4believed, you were 5sealed in 6Him with 7the Holy Spirit of the promise, 14who is a 8first installment of 9our inheritance, in regard to the 10redemption of 11God’s own possession, 12to the praise of His glory.

15For this reason I too, 13having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which exists among you and 14your love for 15all the 16saints, 1617do not cease giving thanks for you, 18while making mention of you in my prayers; 17that the 19God of our Lord Jesus Christ, 20the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of 21wisdom and of 22revelation in the 23knowledge of Him. 18I pray that 24the eyes of your heart 25may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the 26hope of His 27calling, what are 28the riches of the glory of 29His inheritance in 30the 31saints, 19and what is the 32boundless greatness of His power toward us who believe. 33These are in accordance with the working of the 34strength of His might 20which He brought about in Christ, when He 35raised Him from the dead and 36seated Him at His right hand in 37the heavenly places, 21far above 38all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every 39name that is named, not only in 40this age but also in the one to come. 22And He 41put all things in subjection under His feet, and made Him 42head over all things to the church, 23which is His 43body, the 44fullness of Him who 45fills 46all in all.
