6 To the prayse of the glorie of his grace, wherein he hath made vs accepted in the beloued.

7 In whom we haue redemption through his blood, the forgeuenesse of sinnes, accordyng to the rychesse of his grace,

8 Wherein he hath abounded towarde vs in all wysedome and prudence.

9 And hath opened vnto vs the misterie of his wyll, accordyng to his good pleasure which he had purposed in himselfe.

10 That in the dispensation of the fulnesse of the tymes, he myght gather together in one all thinges in Christe, both which are in heauen, and which are in earth, in hym.

11 In whom also we are chosen, beyng predestinate accordyng to the purpose of hym who worketh all thynges after the councell of his owne wyll:

12 That we shoulde be vnto the prayse of his glorie, whiche before beleued in Christe.

13 In whom also ye, after that ye heard the worde of trueth, the Gospell of your saluation, wherin also after that ye beleued, were sealed with the holy spirite of promyse,
