Ephesians 1:11-23

English Standard Version

¹¹In him we have obtained ^(A)an inheritance, ^(B)having been predestined ^(C)according to the purpose of him who works all things according to ^(D)the counsel of his will, ¹²so that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be ^(E)to the praise of his glory. ¹³In him you also, when you heard ^(F)the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, ^(G)were sealed with the ^(H)promised Holy Spirit, ¹⁴who is ^(I)the guarantee^[a] of our ^(J)inheritance until ^(K)we acquire ^(L)possession of it,^[b] ^(M)to the praise of his glory.
