Ephesians 1 — Context

11

also we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to His purpose who works all things after the counsel of His will,

12

to the end that we who were the first to hope in Christ would be to the praise of His glory.

13

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,

14

who is given as a pledge of our inheritance, with a view to the redemption of God's own possession, to the praise of His glory.

15

For this reason I too, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which exists among you and your love for all the saints,

16

do not cease giving thanks for you, while making mention of you in my prayers;

17

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.
