Ephesians 1:2-7

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
