just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him. In love

In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace

He made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His kind intention which He purposed in Him

with a view to an administration suitable to the fullness of the times, that is, the summing up of all things in Christ, things in the heavens and things on the earth. In Him

In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation—having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise,

that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him.

which He brought about in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places,

And He put all things in subjection under His feet, and gave Him as head over all things to the church,

which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.

and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,

for through Him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.

in whom we have boldness and confident access through faith in Him.

Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us,

to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.

but speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, even Christ,

if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught in Him, just as truth is in Jesus,

And masters, do the same things to them, and give up threatening, knowing that both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no partiality with Him.

I have sent him to you for this very purpose, so that you may know about us, and that he may comfort your hearts.
