Ephesians 1:3-10
New American 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 [b]He (G)predestined us to (H)adoption as sons and daughters 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, with which He favored us in (K)the Beloved. 7 (L)In [c]Him we have (M)redemption (N)through His blood, the (O)forgiveness of our wrongdoings, according to (P)the riches of His grace 8 which He [d]lavished on [e]us. In all wisdom and insight 9 He [f](Q)made known to us the mystery of His will, (R)according to His good pleasure which He (S)set forth in Him, 10 regarding His plan of (T)the fullness of the times, (U)to bring all things together in Christ, things [g]in the heavens and things on the earth.

American Standard Version
3 Blessed be [a]the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ: 4 even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blemish before [b]him in love: 5 having foreordained us unto adoption as sons through Jesus Christ unto himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, 6 to the praise of the glory of his grace, [c]which he freely bestowed on us in the Beloved: 7 in whom we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, 8 [d]which he made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence, 9 making known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in him 10 unto a dispensation of the fulness of the [e]times, to sum up all things in Christ, the things [f]in the heavens, and the things upon the earth; in him, I say,
