Ephesians 1:11-18
New American Standard Bible
11 [a]In Him we also (A)have obtained an inheritance, having been (B)predestined (C)according to the purpose of Him who works all things (D)in accordance with the plan of His will, 12 to the end that [b]we who were the first to hope in the [c]Christ would be (E)to the praise of His glory. 13 In [d]Him, [e]you also, after listening to (F)the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation—having also [f]believed, you were (G)sealed in [g]Him with (H)the Holy Spirit of the promise, 14 who is a (I)first installment of (J)our inheritance, in regard to the (K)redemption of (L)God’s own possession, (M)to the praise of His glory.
15 For this reason I too, (N)having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which exists among you and [h]your love for (O)all the [i]saints, 16 (P)do not cease giving thanks for you, (Q)while making mention of you in my prayers; 17 that the (R)God of our Lord Jesus Christ, (S)the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of (T)wisdom and of (U)revelation in the [j]knowledge of Him. 18 I pray that (V)the eyes of your heart [k]may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the (W)hope of His (X)calling, what are (Y)the riches of the glory of (Z)His inheritance in (AA)the [l]saints,
