Ephesians 1:3-14 - Praise To God For Spiritual Blessings

³ Praised be God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, he having praised us in every spiritual praise in heavenly things in Christ: ⁴ As he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, for us to be holy and blameless before him in love: ⁵ Having determined us beforehand for adoption as a son by Jesus Christ to him, according to benevolence of his will, ⁶ To the praise of the glory of his grace, in which he rendered us acceptable in the beloved.

⁷ In whom we have redemption by his blood, the letting go of faults, according to the riches of his grace; ⁸ In which he abounded to us in all wisdom and intelligence; ⁹ Having made known to us the mystery of his will, according to his benevolence which he purposed in himself: ¹⁰ For the arrangement of the completion of the times, to unite in a whole all things in Christ, both the things in the heavens, and the things upon earth; in him:

¹¹ In whom also we were cast by lot, determined beforehand according to the purpose of him performing all things according to the counsel of his will: ¹² For us to be to the praise of his glory, who before hoped in Christ.

¹³ In whom ye also, having heard the word of truth, the good news of your salvation: in whom also having believed, ye were sealed by the holy Spirit of solemn promise, ¹⁴ Which is the pledge of our inheritance for the redemption of the acquisition, to the praise of his glory.
