3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms.
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly things by Christ;
4 For He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world to be holy and blameless in His presence. In love
according as he hath chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and unblameable before Him in love:
5 He predestined us for adoption as His sons through Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of His will,
having before appointed us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ unto Himself, according to the good pleasure of his will;
6 to the praise of His glorious grace, which He has freely given us in the Beloved One.

7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace

8 that He lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding.

9 And He has made known to us the mystery of His will according to His good pleasure, which He purposed in Christ
having made known to us the secret of his will, according to his good pleasure, which He had before purposed in Himself:
10 as a plan for the fullness of time, to bring all things in heaven and on earth together in Christ.
that in the dispensation of the fulness of times, He might reduce all things, both in heaven and on earth, under one head in Christ:
11 In Him we were also chosen as God’s own, having been predestined according to the plan of Him who works out everything by the counsel of His will,
even in Him, in whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated to it according to the purpose of Him who effecteth all things after the counsel of His own will:
12 in order that we, who were the first to hope in Christ, would be for the praise of His glory.
that we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
13 And in Him, having heard and believed the word of truth—the gospel of your salvation—you were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,
In whom ye also trusted, when ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also when ye believed, ye were sealed with the holy Spirit of promise,
14 who is the pledge of our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession, to the praise of His glory.
who is the pledge of our inheritance, till the redemption of his purchased possession, to the praise of his glory.
15 For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints,
Wherefore I also, having heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus,
16 I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers,
and your love to all the saints, cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;
17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in your knowledge of Him.
that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, would give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation to the knowledge of Him,
18 I ask that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you may know the hope of His calling, the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints,
and enlighten the eyes of your understanding; that ye may know, what is the hope of his calling, and how rich the glory of his inheritance in the saints;
19 and the surpassing greatness of His power to us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of His mighty strength,
and what the exceeding greatness of his power towards us who believe, according to the energy of his mighty strength;
20 which He exerted in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly realms,
which He exerted in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead, and set Him at his own right hand in heavenly places,
21 far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. (aiōn g165)
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: (aiōn g165)
22 And God put everything under His feet and made Him head over everything for the church,
and hath put all things under his feet, and given Him to be head over all things to the church;
23 which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.
which is his body, the complete work of Him, who filleth all in all.
