Ephesians 1:3-14

Anderson(i) 3 Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in heavenly things in Christ, 4 according as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him in love, 5 having predestinated us for adoption to himself through Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of his will, 6 for the praise of the glory of his grace, by which he has shown us favor in the Beloved, 7 in whom we have redemption through his blood, even the remission of sins, according to the riches of his grace, 8 which he has made to abound to us in all wisdom and understanding, 9 by making known to us the mystery of his will according to his good purpose which he had before established in himself, 10 for a dispensation at the fullness of the times, in order that he might bring together for himself all things in the Christ, both those which are in the heavens, and those which are on earth; 11 in him in whom we have obtained our portion, having been predestinated according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will, 12 that we should be for the praise of his glory; even we, who before had hope in the Christ: 13 in whom you also hoped after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom, after you also believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, 14 which is the earnest of our inheritance, given for the redemption of his possession to the praise of his glory.
