* Blessed [be ] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ , who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenlies in Christ ; * according as he has chosen us in him before [the ] world 's foundation , that we should be holy and blameless before him in love ; * having marked us out beforehand for adoption through Jesus Christ to himself , according to the good pleasure of his will , * to [the ] praise of [the ] glory of his grace , wherein he has taken us into favour in the Beloved : * in whom we have redemption through his blood , the forgiveness of offences , according to the riches of his grace ; * which he has caused to abound towards us in all wisdom and intelligence , * having made known to us the mystery of his will , according to his good pleasure which he purposed in himself * for [the ] administration of the fulness of times ; to head up all things in the Christ , the things in the heavens and the things upon the earth ; in him , * in whom we have also obtained an inheritance , being marked out beforehand according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his own will , * that we should be to [the ] praise of his glory who have pre-trusted in the Christ : * in whom ye also [have trusted ], having heard the word of the truth , the glad tidings of your salvation ; in whom also , having believed , ye have been sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise , * who is [the ] earnest of our inheritance to the redemption of the acquired possession to [the ] praise of his glory .
