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

4just as aHe chose us in Him before bthe foundation of the world, that we would be choly and blameless before 1Him din love,

5by apredestining us to badoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, caccording to the good pleasure of His will,

6ato the praise of the glory of His grace, which He graciously bestowed on us in bthe Beloved.

7aIn 1Him we have bredemption cthrough His blood, the dforgiveness of our transgressions, according to ethe riches of His grace

8which He caused to abound to us in all wisdom and insight,

9amaking known to us the mystery of His will, baccording to His good pleasure which He cpurposed in Him

10for an administration of athe fullness of the times, that is, bthe summing up of all things in Christ, things 1in the heavens and things on the earth in Him.

11In 1Him, we also 2ahave been made an inheritance, having been bpredestined caccording to the purpose of Him who works all things daccording to the counsel of His will,

12to the end that we who first have hoped in 1Christ would be ato the praise of His glory.

13In 1Him, you also, after listening to athe word of truth, the gospel of your salvation—having also 2believed, you were bsealed in 3Him with cthe Holy Spirit of promise,

14who is 1agiven as a pledge of bour inheritance, unto the credemption of dGod’s own possession, eto the praise of His glory.
