Legacy Standard Bible
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 by (G)predestining us to (H)adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, (I)according to the good pleasure of His will, 6 (J)to the praise of the glory of His grace, which He graciously bestowed on us in (K)the Beloved. 7 (L)In [b]Him we have (M)redemption (N)through His blood, the (O)forgiveness of our transgressions, according to (P)the riches of His grace 8 which He caused to abound to us in all wisdom and insight, 9 (Q)making known to us the mystery of His will, (R)according to His good pleasure which He (S)purposed in Him 10 for an administration of (T)the fullness of the times, that is, (U)the summing up of all things in Christ, things [c]in the heavens and things on the earth in Him.

God’s Rich Blessings
3 Praise the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavens.(A) 4 For He chose us in Him, before the foundation of the world, to be holy and blameless in His sight.[a](B) In love[b] 5 He predestined us to be adopted through Jesus Christ for Himself, according to His favor and will, 6 to the praise of His glorious grace(C) that He favored us with in the Beloved.(D)
7 We have redemption in Him(E) through His blood, the forgiveness(F) of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace 8 that He lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding. 9 He made known to us the mystery of His will,(G) according to His good pleasure that He planned in Him(H) 10 for the administration[c] of the days of fulfillment[d]—to bring everything together in the Messiah,(I) both things in heaven and things on earth(J) in Him.(K)
