2Grace5485 be to you5213, and2532 peace1515, from575 God2316 our2257 Father3962, and2532 from the Lord2962 Jesus2424 Christ5547.
3Blessed2128 be the God2316 and2532 Father3962 of our2257 Lord2962 Jesus2424 Christ5547, who3588 hath blessed2127 us2248 with1722 all3956 spiritual4152 blessings2129 in1722 heavenly2032 places in1722 Christ5547:
4According as2531 he hath chosen1586 us2248 in1722 him846 before4253 the foundation2602 of the world2889, that we2248 should be1511 holy40 and2532 without blame299 before2714 him846 in1722 love26:
5Having predestinated4309 us2248 unto1519 the adoption of children5206 by1223 Jesus2424 Christ5547 to1519 himself846, according2596 to the good pleasure2107 of his846 will2307,
6To1519 the praise1868 of the glory1391 of his846 grace5485, wherein1722 3739 he hath made5487 us2248 accepted5487 in1722 the beloved25.
7In1722 whom3739 we have2192 redemption629 through1223 his846 blood129, the forgiveness859 of sins3900, according2596 to the riches4149 of his846 grace5485;
8Wherein3739 he hath abounded4052 toward1519 us2248 in1722 all3956 wisdom4678 and2532 prudence5428;
9Having made known1107 unto us2254 the mystery3466 of his846 will2307, according to2596 his846 good pleasure2107 which3739 he hath purposed4388 in1722 himself846:
10That in1519 the dispensation3622 of the fulness4138 of times2540 he might gather together in one346 all things3956 in1722 Christ5547, both5037 which3588 are in1722 heaven3772, and2532 which3588 are on1909 earth1093; even in1722 him846:
11In1722 whom3739 also2532 we have obtained an inheritance2820, being predestinated4309 according to2596 the purpose4286 of him who worketh1754 all things3956 after2596 the counsel1012 of his own846 will2307:
12That1519 we2248 should be1511 to1519 the praise1868 of his846 glory1391, who3588 first trusted4276 in1722 Christ5547.
13In1722 whom3739 ye5210 also2532 trusted, after that ye heard191 the word3056 of truth225, the gospel2098 of your5216 salvation4991: in1722 whom3739 also2532 after that ye believed4100, ye were sealed with4972 that holy40 Spirit4151 of promise1860,
14Which3739 is2076 the earnest728 of our2257 inheritance2817 until1519 the redemption629 of the purchased possession4047, unto1519 the praise1868 of his846 glory1391.
15Wherefore1223 5124 I also2504, after I heard191 of2596 your5209 faith4102 in1722 the Lord2962 Jesus2424, and2532 love26 unto1519 all3956 the saints40,
16Cease3973 not3756 to give thanks2168 for5228 you5216, making4160 mention3417 of you5216 in1909 my3450 prayers4335;
17That2443 the God2316 of our2257 Lord2962 Jesus2424 Christ5547, the Father3962 of glory1391, may give1325 unto you5213 the spirit4151 of wisdom4678 and2532 revelation602 in1722 the knowledge1922 of him846:
18The eyes3788 of your5216 understanding1271 being enlightened5461; that1519 ye5209 may know1492 what5101 is2076 the hope1680 of his846 calling2821, and2532 what5101 the riches4149 of the glory1391 of his846 inheritance2817 in1722 the saints40,
19And2532 what5101 is the exceeding5235 greatness3174 of his846 power1411 to1519 us-ward2248 who3588 believe4100, according to2596 the working1753 of his846 mighty2479 power2904,
20Which3739 he wrought1754 in1722 Christ5547, when he raised1453 him846 from1537 the dead3498, and2532 set2523 him at1722 his own846 right hand1188 in1722 the heavenly2032 places,
21Far above5231 all3956 principality746, and2532 power1849, and2532 might1411, and2532 dominion2963, and2532 every3956 name3686 that is named3687, not3756 only3440 in1722 this5129 world165, but235 also2532 in1722 that which is to come3195:
22And2532 hath put5293 all3956 things under5259 his846 feet4228, and2532 gave1325 him846 to be the head2776 over5228 all3956 things to the church1577,
23Which3748 is2076 his846 body4983, the fulness4138 of him that filleth4137 all3956 in1722 all3956.
