having predestined us for adoption as children through Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his desire,
Ephesians 1:5
to the praise of the glory of his grace, by which he freely gave us favor in the Beloved,
Ephesians 1:6
in whom we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,

which he made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence,
Ephesians 1:8
making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in him

to an administration of the fullness of the times, to sum up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens and the things on the earth, in him.

In him you also, having heard the word of the truth, the Good News of your salvation—in whom, having also believed, you were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,
