Ephesians 1:3-11

3 1Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in 2the heavenly places in Christ,

4just as 3He chose us in Him before 4the foundation of the world, that we would be 5holy and blameless before 6Him. 7In love

5 8He 9predestined us to 10adoption as sons and daughters through Jesus Christ to Himself, 11according to the good pleasure of His will,

6 12to the praise of the glory of His grace, with which He favored us in 13the Beloved.

7 14In 15Him we have 16redemption 17through His blood, the 18forgiveness of our wrongdoings, according to 19the riches of His grace

8which He 20lavished on 21us. In all wisdom and insight

9He 22 23made known to us the mystery of His will, 24according to His good pleasure which He 25set forth in Him,

10regarding His plan of 26the fullness of the times, 27to bring all things together in Christ, things 28in the heavens and things on the earth.

11 29In Him we also 30have obtained an inheritance, having been 31predestined 32according to the purpose of Him who works all things 33in accordance with the plan of His will,
