Ephesians 1:2-10
English Standard Version
2 (A)Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Spiritual Blessings in Christ
3 (B)Blessed be (C)the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing (D)in the heavenly places, 4 (E)even as he (F)chose us in him (G)before the foundation of the world, that we should be (H)holy and blameless before him. In love 5 (I)he predestined us[a] for (J)adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, (K)according to the purpose of his will, 6 (L)to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in (M)the Beloved. 7 (N)In him we have (O)redemption (P)through his blood, (Q)the forgiveness of our trespasses, (R)according to the riches of his grace, 8 which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight 9 (S)making known[b] to us the mystery of his will, (T)according to his purpose, which he (U)set forth in Christ[c] 10 as a plan for (V)the fullness of time, (W)to unite all things in Christ, things in heaven and things on earth in him.
