11 In him we have obtained (A)an inheritance, (B)having been predestined (C)according to the purpose of him who works all things according to (D)the counsel of his will, 12 so that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be (E)to the praise of his glory. 13 In him you also, when you heard (F)the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, (G)were sealed with the (H)promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is (I)the guarantee[a] of our (J)inheritance until (K)we acquire (L)possession of it,[b] (M)to the praise of his glory.

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.
