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

³ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who through Christ has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realm. ⁴ Through Him He picked us out before the creation of the world, to be consecrated and above reproach in His sight in love. ⁵ He foreordained us to become His sons by adoption through Christ Jesus, to carry out the happy choice of His will, ⁶ so that we might praise the splendid favor which He has shown us in His beloved Son.

⁷ It is through union with Him that we have redemption by His blood and the forgiveness of our shortcomings, in accordance with the generosity of His unmerited favor ⁸ which He lavished upon us. Through perfect wisdom and spiritual insight ⁹ He has made known to us the secret of His will, which is in accordance with His purpose which He planned in Christ, ¹⁰ so that, at the coming of the climax of the ages, everything in heaven and on earth should be unified through Christ,

¹¹ in union with whom we were made God's portion, since we had been foreordained in accordance with the purpose of Him who in everything carries out the plan of His will, ¹² that we who had first put our hope in Christ might praise His glory.

¹³ You too, as you have heard the message of the truth, the good news that means your salvation, and as you have trusted in Him too, have been stamped with the seal of the promised Holy Spirit, ¹⁴ who is the first installment of our inheritance, so that we may finally come into full possession of the prize of redemption, and praise His glory for it.
