Ephesians 1:3–11

Redemption in Christ

^3aBlessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, ⁴just as ^bHe chose us in Him ^cbefore the foundation of the world, that we should ^dbe holy and without blame before Him in love, ^5ehaving predestined us to ^fadoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, ^gaccording to the good pleasure of His will, ⁶to the praise of the glory of His grace, ^hby which He ¹made us accepted in ⁱthe Beloved.

^7jIn Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to ^kthe riches of His grace ⁸which He made to abound toward us in all wisdom and ²prudence, ^9lhaving made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure ^mwhich He purposed in Himself, ¹⁰that in the dispensation of ⁿthe fullness of the times ^oHe might gather together in one ^pall things in Christ, ³both which are in heaven and which are on earth—in Him. ^11qIn Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to ^rthe purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will,
