Ephesians 1:5-23 ▼

5 having predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will,

6 to the praise of the glory of His grace, which He graciously gave us in the Beloved One,

7 in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of trespasses, according to the riches of His grace,

8 which He abounded to us in all wisdom and understanding,

9 having made known to us the mystery of His will according to His good pleasure, which He purposed in Him

10 for the administration of the fullness of the times, to bring together all things in Christ—the things in the heavens and the things upon the earth—

11 in Him, in whom also we obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of the One working all things according to the counsel of His will

12 for us to be to the praise of His glory, the ones having first hoped in Christ,

13 in whom you⁺ also, having heard the word of truth, the gospel of your⁺ salvation, in whom also having believed, you⁺ were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,

14 who is the pledge of our inheritance to the redemption of the acquired possession, to the praise of His glory.

15 Because of this, I also, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus among you⁺ and the love to all the saints,

16 do not cease giving thanks for you⁺, making remembrance in my prayers,

17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you⁺ a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him,

18 the eyes your⁺ of heart being enlightened for you⁺ to know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,

19 and what is the surpassing greatness of His power to us, those believing, according to the working of the power of His strength,

20 which He worked in Christ, having raised Him out from the dead, and having seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly realms,

21 far above every principality and authority and power and lordship and every name being named, not only in this age, but also in the one about to be.

22 And He subjected all things under His feet and gave Him to be head over all things to the church,

23 which is His body, the fullness of the One filling all in all.
