Ephesians 1:3-14

New American Standard Bible 1995

^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 through Jesus Christ to Himself, ^(I)according to the ^[c]kind intention of His will, ^6 (J)to the praise of the glory of His grace, which He freely bestowed on us in ^(K)the Beloved. ^7 (L)In ^[d]Him we have ^(M)redemption ^(N)through His blood, the ^(O)forgiveness of our trespasses, according to ^(P)the riches of His grace ⁸ which He ^[e]lavished on ^[f]us. In all wisdom and insight ⁹ He ^[g](Q)made known to us the mystery of His will, ^(R)according to His ^[h]kind intention which He ^(S)purposed in Him ¹⁰ with a view to an administration ^[i]suitable to ^(T)the fullness of the times, that is, ^(U)the summing up of all things in Christ, things ^[j]in the heavens and things on the earth. In Him ^11 [k]also we ^[l](V)have obtained an inheritance, having been ^(W)predestined ^(X)according to His purpose who works all things ^(Y)after the counsel of His will, ¹² to the end that we who were the first to hope in ^[m]Christ would be ^(Z)to the praise of His glory. ¹³ In ^[n]Him, you also, after listening to ^(AA)the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation—having also ^[o]believed, you were ^(AB)sealed in ^[p]Him with ^(AC)the Holy Spirit of promise, ¹⁴ who is ^[q](AD)given as a pledge of ^(AE)our inheritance, with a view to the ^(AF)redemption of ^(AG)God’s own possession, ^(AH)to the praise of His glory.
