Ephesians 1:3-6
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.

The Message
The God of Glory
3-6 How blessed is God! And what a blessing he is! He’s the Father of our Master, Jesus Christ, and takes us to the high places of blessing in him. Long before he laid down earth’s foundations, he had us in mind, had settled on us as the focus of his love, to be made whole and holy by his love. Long, long ago he decided to adopt us into his family through Jesus Christ. (What pleasure he took in planning this!) He wanted us to enter into the celebration of his lavish gift-giving by the hand of his beloved Son.

Beneficios de la redención
3 Bendito sea el Dios y Padre de nuestro Señor Jesucristo(A), que nos ha bendecido con toda bendición espiritual en los lugares celestiales en Cristo(B). 4 Porque Dios nos escogió(C) en Cristo antes de la fundación del mundo(D), para que fuéramos[a] santos y sin mancha(E) delante de Él. En amor(F) 5 nos predestinó[b](G) para adopción como hijos para sí(H) mediante Jesucristo, conforme a la buena intención de Su voluntad(I), 6 para alabanza de la gloria(J) de Su gracia que gratuitamente ha impartido sobre nosotros en el Amado(K).
