Praise for Spiritual Blessings in Christ

³ Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,^(A) who has blessed us in the heavenly realms^(B) with every spiritual blessing in Christ.

¹³ Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight.^(A) Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.

Jesus the Great High Priest

¹⁴ Therefore, since we have a great high priest^(B) who has ascended into heaven,^[a](C) Jesus the Son of God,^(D) let us hold firmly to the faith we profess.^{(E) 15} For we do not have a high priest^(F) who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are^(G)—yet he did not sin.^{(H) 16} Let us then approach^(I) God’s throne of grace with confidence,^(J) so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
