Ephesians 1:11-14
Christian Standard Bible
11 In him we have also received an inheritance,[a] because we were predestined(A) according to the plan of the one who works out everything in agreement with the purpose of his will, 12 so that we who had already put our hope(B) in Christ might bring praise to his glory.(C)
13 In him you also were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit(D) when you heard the word of truth,(E) the gospel of your salvation, and when you believed. 14 The Holy Spirit is the down payment(F) of our inheritance, until the redemption of the possession, to the praise of his glory.

Ephesians 1:11-14
New Living Translation
11 Furthermore, because we are united with Christ, we have received an inheritance from God,[a] for he chose us in advance, and he makes everything work out according to his plan.
12 God’s purpose was that we Jews who were the first to trust in Christ would bring praise and glory to God. 13 And now you Gentiles have also heard the truth, the Good News that God saves you. And when you believed in Christ, he identified you as his own[b] by giving you the Holy Spirit, whom he promised long ago. 14 The Spirit is God’s guarantee that he will give us the inheritance he promised and that he has purchased us to be his own people. He did this so we would praise and glorify him.
