Ephesians 1:4-11 according as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame

before Him in love, (5) having predestined us to the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will (thelema), (6) to the praise of the glory of His grace, in which He has made us accepted in the One having been loved. (7) In Him we

have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace, (8) which He caused to abound toward us in all wisdom and understanding; (9) having made known to us the mystery of His will (thelema), according to His good pleasure which He purposed

in Himself, (10) for an administration of the fullness of times, to head up all things in Christ, both the things in Heaven, and the things on earth, even in Him, (11) in whom also we have been chosen to an

inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His own will (thelema),,

Eph 1:12 That we should be to the praise of His glory, who first trusted in Christ.

Eph 1:13 In whom you also trusted, after that you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after

that you believed, you were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

Eph 1:14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of

His glory.
