Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath
blessed us with all
spiritual blessings
in heavenly places

Christ:
For
He chose
us in Him before the foundation of the world to
be holy and blameless
in
His
presence.
In love
According
as
he hath
chosen
us in him before the foundation of the world ,
that
we
should
be holy and without
blame
before
him
in love :
He
predestined
us for
adoption as
His
sons
through
Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of His will,
Having
predestinated
us unto
the
adoption of
children
by
Jesus Christ to
himself
, according to the good pleasure of his will,

grace, which
He has
freely
given
us in the Beloved One

abounded
toward
us in
all wisdom and prudence;
And
He
has
made known to
us the mystery of His will according to His good pleasure ,
which He purposed in Christ
Having
made known unto
us the mystery of his will ,
according to his good pleasure which he hath
purposed in himself:
as
a
plan
for
the fullness
of time,
to
bring
all things in heaven and on earth together
in Christ.
That
in
the dispensation
of the
fulness
of
times
he
might
gather
together
in
one
all things in Christ,
both
which
are
in
heaven ,
and which
are
on earth ;
even
in him:
In Him
we
were
also chosen
as
God’s
own
, having
been
predestined
according to the plan
of Him who works
out
everything
by
the counsel of His will ,
In whom
also we
have
obtained
an
inheritance
, being
predestinated
according to the purpose
of him who worketh
all
things
after
the counsel of his own
will :
in
order
that we ,
who
were
the
first
to
hope
in
Christ,
would
be for
the praise of His glory.
That we should
be to
the praise of his glory ,
who
first
trusted
in
Christ
.
And
in Him
, having
heard and
believed
the word of truth —
the gospel of your salvation —you
were sealed with the
promised
Holy Spirit,
In whom
ye
also
trusted
, after
that
ye
heard the word of truth ,
the gospel of your salvation :
in
whom
also
after
that
ye
believed,
ye
were sealed with that
holy Spirit of
promise
,
who
is the pledge
of our inheritance until the redemption of those
who
are
God’s
possession, to
the praise of His glory.
Which
is the earnest
of our inheritance until the redemption of the
purchased
possession, unto
the praise of his glory.
For
this
reason
, ever
since
I heard about
your faith in the Lord Jesus and your
love for
all the saints,
Wherefore
I
also
, after
I heard of
your faith in the Lord Jesus ,
and love unto
all the saints,
I
have
not stopped
giving
thanks for you, remembering
you in my prayers ,
Cease
not to
give
thanks for you, making
mention
of
you in my prayers ;
that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious
Father, may give you a
spirit of wisdom and revelation in your
knowledge of Him .
That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of
glory
, may give unto
you the
spirit of wisdom and revelation in the
knowledge of him :
I
ask
that
the eyes of your heart
may
be
enlightened ,
so
that you
may know the hope of His calling, the riches of His glorious
inheritance in the saints,
The eyes of your understanding
being
enlightened ;
that ye
may know what
is
the hope of his calling, and
what
the riches of the
glory
of
his inheritance in the saints,
and the surpassing
greatness of His power to us who believe .
These
are
in
accordance
with
the working of His mighty strength
,
And what
is
the exceeding
greatness of his power to us -ward
who believe ,
according
to
the working of his mighty power
,
which He exerted
in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated
Him at His right hand in the heavenly realms
,
Which he wrought
in Christ ,
when he raised him from the dead ,
and set
him at his own
right hand in the heavenly places
,
far above all rule
and
authority
, power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in the
present
age
but also in the
one
to come .
Far above all principality
, and
power ,
and might,
and
dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this
world,
but also in that
which
is
to come :
And God
put everything
under His feet and made
Him head over everything
for
the church,
And hath
put all
things
under his feet ,
and gave
him to
be
the
head over all
things
to
the church,
which is His body, the fullness
of Him who
fills
all in all.
Which is his body, the fulness
of him that
filleth
all in all.
