Ephesians 1:13-14

Expanded Bible

¹³ So it is with you. When you heard the ·true teaching [message/word of truth]—the ·Good News about [Gospel of] your salvation—you believed in Christ. ·And in Christ, God put his special mark of ownership on you by giving you [^L…having been sealed with] the Holy Spirit that he had promised. ¹⁴ That Holy Spirit is the ·guarantee [down payment; deposit] ·that we will receive what God promised for his people [^Lof our inheritance] until ·God gives full freedom to those who are his [or we acquire possession of it; ^Lthe redemption of the possession; v. 7]—to bring praise to God’s glory.
