Ephesians 1:4-13

New International Version

⁴ For he chose us^(A) in him before the creation of the world^(B) to be holy and blameless^(C) in his sight. In love^{(D) 5} he^[a] predestined^(E) us for adoption to sonship^[b](F) through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure^(G) and will— ⁶ to the praise of his glorious grace,^(H) which he has freely given us in the One he loves.^{(I) 7} In him we have redemption^(J) through his blood,^(K) the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches^(L) of God’s grace ⁸ that he lavished on us. With all wisdom and understanding, ⁹ he^[c] made known to us the mystery^(M) of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed^(N) in Christ, ¹⁰ to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment^(O)—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ.^(P)

¹¹ In him we were also chosen,^[d] having been predestined^(Q) according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose^(R) of his will, ¹² in order that we, who were the first to put our hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory.^{(S) 13} And you also were included in Christ^(T) when you heard the message of truth,^(U) the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal,^(V) the promised Holy Spirit,^(W)
