In love ^5lhe predestined us² for ^madoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, ⁿaccording to the purpose of his will, ^6oto the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in ^pthe Beloved. ^7qIn him we have ^rredemption ^sthrough his blood, ^tthe forgiveness of our trespasses, ^uaccording to the riches of his grace, ⁸which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight ^9vmaking known³ to us the mystery of his will, ⁿaccording to his purpose, which he ^wset forth in Christ^{4 10}as a plan for ^xthe fullness of time, ^yto unite all things in Christ, things in heaven and things on earth in him.

¹¹In him we have obtained ^zan inheritance, ^ahaving been predestined ^baccording to the purpose of him who works all things according to ^cthe counsel of his will, ¹²so that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be ^dto the praise of his glory. ¹³In him you also, when you heard ^ethe word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, ^fwere sealed with the ^gpromised Holy Spirit, ¹⁴who is ^hthe guarantee⁵ of our ⁱinheritance until ^jwe acquire ^kpossession of it,^{6 l}to the praise of his glory.
