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 and daughters through Jesus Christ to Himself, 12according to the good pleasure of His will, 6 13to the praise of the glory of His grace, with which He favored us in 14the Beloved. 7 15In 16Him we have 17redemption 18through His blood, the 19forgiveness of our wrongdoings, according to 20the riches of His grace 8which He 21lavished on 22us. In all wisdom and insight 9He 23 24made known to us the mystery of His will, 25according to His good pleasure which He 26set forth in Him, 10regarding His plan of 27the fullness of the times, 28to bring all things together in Christ, things 29in the heavens and things on the earth. 11 30In Him we also 31have obtained an inheritance, having been 32predestined 33according to the purpose of Him who works all things 34in accordance with the plan of His will,
