Ephesians 1:12-14
New Living Translation
12 God’s purpose was that we Jews who were the first to trust in Christ would bring praise and glory to God. 13 And now you Gentiles have also heard the truth, the Good News that God saves you. And when you believed in Christ, he identified you as his own[a] by giving you the Holy Spirit, whom he promised long ago. 14 The Spirit is God’s guarantee that he will give us the inheritance he promised and that he has purchased us to be his own people. He did this so we would praise and glorify him.

New International Version
12 in order that we, who were the first to put our hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory.(A) 13 And you also were included in Christ(B) when you heard the message of truth,(C) the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal,(D) the promised Holy Spirit,(E) 14 who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance(F) until the redemption(G) of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory.(H)
