John 1:12-14 New International Version
12 Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed(A) in his name,(B) he gave the right to become children of God(C)— 13 children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.(D)
14 The Word became flesh(E) and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory,(F) the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace(G) and truth.(H)

Ephesians 1:4-23 New International Version
4 For he chose us(A) in him before the creation of the world(B) to be holy and blameless(C) in his sight. In love(D) 5 he[a] predestined(E) us for adoption to sonship[b](F) through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure(G) and will— 6 to the praise of his glorious grace,(H) which he has freely given us in the One he loves.(I) 7 In him we have redemption(J) through his blood,(K) the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches(L) of God’s grace 8 that he lavished on us. With all wisdom and understanding, 9 he[c] made known to us the mystery(M) of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed(N) in Christ, 10 to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment(O)—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ.(P)
11 In him we were also chosen,[d] having been predestined(Q) according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose(R) of his will, 12 in order that we, who were the first to put our hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory.(S) 13 And you also were included in Christ(T) when you heard the message of truth,(U) the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal,(V) the promised Holy Spirit,(W) 14 who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance(X) until the redemption(Y) of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory.(Z)
Thanksgiving and Prayer
15 For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus(AA) and your love for all God’s people,(AB) 16 I have not stopped giving thanks for you,(AC) remembering you in my prayers.(AD) 17 I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father,(AE) may give you the Spirit[e] of wisdom(AF) and revelation, so that you may know him better. 18 I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened(AG) in order that you may know the hope to which he has called(AH) you, the riches(AI) of his glorious inheritance(AJ) in his holy people,(AK) 19 and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power(AL) is the same as the mighty strength(AM) 20 he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead(AN) and seated him at his right hand(AO) in the heavenly realms,(AP) 21 far above all rule and authority, power and dominion,(AQ) and every name(AR) that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come.(AS) 22 And God placed all things under his feet(AT) and appointed him to be head(AU) over everything for the church, 23 which is his body,(AV) the fullness of him(AW) who fills everything in every way.(AX)

Ephesians 2:1-10 New International Version
Made Alive in Christ
2 As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins,(A) 2 in which you used to live(B) when you followed the ways of this world(C) and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air,(D) the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient.(E) 3 All of us also lived among them at one time,(F) gratifying the cravings of our flesh[a](G) and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath. 4 But because of his great love for us,(H) God, who is rich in mercy, 5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions(I)—it is by grace you have been saved.(J) 6 And God raised us up with Christ(K) and seated us with him(L) in the heavenly realms(M) in Christ Jesus, 7 in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace,(N) expressed in his kindness(O) to us in Christ Jesus. 8 For it is by grace(P) you have been saved,(Q) through faith(R)—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works,(S) so that no one can boast.(T) 10 For we are God’s handiwork,(U) created(V) in Christ Jesus to do good works,(W) which God prepared in advance for us to do.

Ephesians 3:1-11 New International Version
God’s Marvelous Plan for the Gentiles
3 For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner(A) of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles—
2 Surely you have heard about the administration of God’s grace that was given to me(B) for you, 3 that is, the mystery(C) made known to me by revelation,(D) as I have already written briefly. 4 In reading this, then, you will be able to understand my insight(E) into the mystery of Christ, 5 which was not made known to people in other generations as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to God’s holy apostles and prophets.(F) 6 This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs(G) together with Israel, members together of one body,(H) and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus.(I)
7 I became a servant of this gospel(J) by the gift of God’s grace given me(K) through the working of his power.(L) 8 Although I am less than the least of all the Lord’s people,(M) this grace was given me: to preach to the Gentiles(N) the boundless riches of Christ,(O) 9 and to make plain to everyone the administration of this mystery,(P) which for ages past was kept hidden in God, who created all things. 10 His intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God(Q) should be made known(R) to the rulers and authorities(S) in the heavenly realms,(T) 11 according to his eternal purpose(U) that he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord.
