Ephesians 1:13-17

New International Version

¹³ And you also were included in Christ^(A) when you heard the message of truth,^(B) the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal,^(C) the promised Holy Spirit,^{(D) 14} who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance^(E) until the redemption^(F) of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory.^(G)

¹⁵ For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus^(H) and your love for all God’s people,^{(I) 16} I have not stopped giving thanks for you,^(J) remembering you in my prayers.^{(K) 17} I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father,^(L) may give you the Spirit^[a] of wisdom^(M) and revelation, so that you may know him better.
