3Blessed is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who did bless us in every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,Select Ephesians 1:3

4according as He did choose us in him before the foundation of the world, for our being holy and unblemished before Him, in love,Select Ephesians 1:4

5having foreordained us to the adoption of sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will,Select Ephesians 1:5

7in whom we have the redemption through his blood, the remission of the trespasses, according to the riches of His grace,Select Ephesians 1:7

8in which He did abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence,Select Ephesians 1:8

9having made known to us the secret of His will, according to His good pleasure, that He purposed in Himself,Select Ephesians 1:9

10in regard to the dispensation of the fulness of the times, to bring into one the whole in the Christ, both the things in the heavens, and the things upon the earth--in him;Select Ephesians 1:10

11in whom also we did obtain an inheritance, being foreordained according to the purpose of Him who the all things is working according to the counsel of His will,Select Ephesians 1:11

12for our being to the praise of His glory, even those who did first hope in the Christ,Select Ephesians 1:12

13in whom ye also, having heard the word of the truth--the good news of your salvation--in whom also having believed, ye were sealed with the Holy Spirit of the promise,Select Ephesians 1:13

14which is an earnest of our inheritance, to the redemption of the acquired possession, to the praise of His glory.Select Ephesians 1:14

23which is his body, the fulness of Him who is filling the all in all,Select Ephesians 1:23
