Ephesians 1:11-23
-
11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:
-
12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
-
13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
-
14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
-
15 Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints,
-
16 Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;
-
17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
-
18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
-
19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,
-
20 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,
-
21 Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:
-
22 And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,
-
23 Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
