^5 [a]He ^(A)predestined us to ^(B)adoption as sons and daughters through Jesus Christ to Himself, ^(C)according to the good pleasure of His will, ^6 (D)to the praise of the glory of His grace, with which He favored us in ^(E)the Beloved. ^7 (F)In ^[b]Him we have ^(G)redemption ^(H)through His blood, the ^(I)forgiveness of our wrongdoings, according to ^(J)the riches of His grace ⁸ which He ^[c]lavished on ^[d]us. In all wisdom and insight ⁹ He ^[e](K)made known to us the mystery of His will, ^(L)according to His good pleasure which He ^(M)set forth in Him, ¹⁰ regarding His plan of ^(N)the fullness of the times, ^(O)to bring all things together in Christ, things ^[f]in the heavens and things on the earth. ^11 [g]In Him we also ^(P)have obtained an inheritance, having been ^(Q)predestined ^(R)according to the purpose of Him who works all things ^(S)in accordance with the plan of His will, ¹² to the end that ^[h]we who were the first to hope in the ^[i]Christ would be ^(T)to the praise of His glory.

Made Alive in Christ

2 And ^[a]you ^[b]were ^(A)dead ^[c]in your offenses and sins, ² in which you ^(B)previously walked according to the ^[d]course of ^(C)this world, according to ^(D)the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in ^(E)the ^[e]sons of disobedience. ³ Among them ^[f]we too all ^(F)previously lived in ^(G)the lusts of our flesh, ^[g]indulging the desires of the flesh and of the ^[h]mind, and were ^(H)by nature ^(I)children of wrath, ^(J)just as the rest. ⁴ But God, being ^(K)rich in mercy, because of ^(L)His great love with which He loved us, ⁵ even when we were ^(M)dead ^[i]in our wrongdoings, made us alive together ^[j]with Christ (^(N)by grace you have been saved), ⁶ and ^(O)raised us up with Him, and ^(P)seated us with Him in ^(Q)the heavenly places in ^(R)Christ Jesus, ⁷ so that in the ages to come He might show the ^[k]boundless ^(S)riches of His grace in ^(T)kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. ⁸ For ^(U)by grace you have been saved ^(V)through faith; and ^[l]this is not of yourselves, it is ^(W)the gift of God; ^9 (X)not a result of works, so that ^(Y)no one may boast. ¹⁰ For we are His workmanship, ^(Z)created in ^(AA)Christ Jesus for ^(AB)good works, which God ^(AC)prepared beforehand so that we would ^(AD)walk in them.
