Ephesians 1:3-14

New American Standard Bible

^3 (A)Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in ^(B)the heavenly places in Christ, ⁴ just as ^(C)He chose us in Him before ^(D)the foundation of the world, that we would be ^(E)holy and blameless before ^[a]Him. ^(F)In love ^5 [b]He ^(G)predestined us to ^(H)adoption as sons and daughters through Jesus Christ to Himself, ^(I)according to the good pleasure of His will, ^6 (J)to the praise of the glory of His grace, with which He favored us in ^(K)the Beloved. ^7 (L)In ^[c]Him we have ^(M)redemption ^(N)through His blood, the ^(O)forgiveness of our wrongdoings, according to ^(P)the riches of His grace ⁸ which He ^[d]lavished on ^[e]us. In all wisdom and insight ⁹ He ^[f](Q)made known to us the mystery of His will, ^(R)according to His good pleasure which He ^(S)set forth in Him, ¹⁰ regarding His plan of ^(T)the fullness of the times, ^(U)to bring all things together in Christ, things ^[g]in the heavens and things on the earth. ^11 [h]In Him we also ^(V)have obtained an inheritance, having been ^(W)predestined ^(X)according to the purpose of Him who works all things ^(Y)in accordance with the plan of His will, ¹² to the end that ^[i]we who were the first to hope in the ^[j]Christ would be ^(Z)to the praise of His glory. ¹³ In ^[k]Him, ^[l]you also, after listening to ^(AA)the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation—having also ^[m]believed, you were ^(AB)sealed in ^[n]Him with ^(AC)the Holy Spirit of the promise, ¹⁴ who is a ^(AD)first installment of ^(AE)our inheritance, in regard to the ^(AF)redemption of ^(AG)God’s own possession, ^(AH)to the praise of His glory.
