Ephesians 1:11-14
Holman Christian Standard Bible
11 We have also received an inheritance[a] in Him, predestined(A) according to the purpose of the One who works out everything in agreement with the decision of His will, 12 so that we who had already put our hope(B) in the Messiah might bring praise to His glory.(C)
13 When you heard the message of truth,(D) the gospel of your salvation, and when you believed in Him, you were also sealed with the promised Holy Spirit.(E) 14 He is the down payment(F) of our inheritance, for the redemption of the possession,[b] to the praise of His glory.

Ephesians 1:11-14
New International Version
11 In him we were also chosen,[a] having been predestined(A) according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose(B) of his will, 12 in order that we, who were the first to put our hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory.(C) 13 And you also were included in Christ(D) when you heard the message of truth,(E) the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal,(F) the promised Holy Spirit,(G) 14 who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance(H) until the redemption(I) of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory.(J)
