Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has given us every blessing of the Spirit in the heavens in Christ:

In whom we have salvation through his blood, the forgiveness of our sins, through the wealth of his grace,

Which he gave us in full measure in all wisdom and care;

Having made clear to us the secret of his purpose, in agreement with the design which he had in mind, to put into his hands
