English Standard Version
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
Holman Christian Standard Bible
11 We have also received an inheritance[a] in Him, predestined(A) according to the purpose of the One who works out everything in agreement with the decision of His will, 12 so that we who had already put our hope(B) in the Messiah might bring praise to His glory.(C)
13 When you heard the message of truth,(D) the gospel of your salvation, and when you believed in Him, you were also sealed with the promised Holy Spirit.(E) 14 He is the down payment(F) of our inheritance, for the redemption of the possession,[b] to the praise of His glory.
