Ephesians:1:3-14
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ ,
who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ :
*
According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world ,
that we should be holy and without blame before him in love :
*
Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself ,
according to the good pleasure of his will ,
*
To the praise of the glory of his grace ,
wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved .
*
In whom we have redemption through his blood ,
the forgiveness of sins ,
according to the riches of his grace ;
*
Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence ;
*
Having made known unto us the mystery of his will ,
according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself :
*
That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ ,
both which are in heaven ,
and which are on earth ;
even in him :
*
In whom also we have obtained an inheritance ,
being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will :
*
That we should be to the praise of his glory ,
who first trusted in Christ .
*
In whom ye also trusted ,
after that ye heard the word of truth ,
the gospel of your salvation :
in whom also after that ye believed ,
ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise ,
*
Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession ,
unto the praise of his glory .
