3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Who has Blessed us in the Heavenly Realms
With Every Spiritual Blessing in Christ.
4 For He Chose us In Him before the Creation of the World
To be Holy and Blameless in His sight.
5 In Love He Predestined us for Adoption to Sonship
Through Jesus Christ,
In accordance with His Pleasure and Will--
6 To the Praise of His Glorious Grace,
Which He has Freely given us in the One He loves.
7 In Him we have Redemption through His Blood,
The Forgiveness of Sins,
In accordance with the Riches of God’s Grace
That He Lavished on us.
With All wisdom and understanding.
9 He made know to us the Mystery of His Will
According to His Good Pleasure,
Which He purposed in Christ,
To be put into effect when the times reach their Fulfillment--
To bring Unity to All Things in Heaven and on Earth
Under Christ.
(Ephesians 1: 3-9)
