3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with every spiritual blessing in heavenly things in Christ;
Blessed [is] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who did bless us in every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,
4 as he hath elected us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him in love:
according as He did choose us in him before the foundation of the world, for our being holy and unblemished before Him, in love,
5 having predestinated us for his adopted children by Jesus Christ unto himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
having foreordained us to the adoption of sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will,
6 to the praise of the glory of his grace, whereby he hath made us acceptable in that beloved one;
to the praise of the glory of His grace, in which He did make us accepted in the beloved,
7 in whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;

8 wherein he hath abounded towards us with all wisdom and intelligence,

9 having made known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in himself;
having made known to us the secret of His will, according to His good pleasure, that He purposed in Himself,
10 at the dispensation of the fulness of the appointed times to gather together under one head all things in Christ, whether they be things in heaven or things in earth, in him:
in regard to the dispensation of the fulness of the times, to bring into one the whole in the Christ, both the things in the heavens, and the things upon the earth — in him;
11 in whom also we have obtained our inheritance, predestinated according to the purpose of him who effectually worketh all things according to the counsel of his own will:
in whom also we did obtain an inheritance, being foreordained according to the purpose of Him who the all things is working according to the counsel of His will,
12 that we should be to the praise of his glory, who first had hope in Christ.
for our being to the praise of His glory, [even] those who did first hope in the Christ,
13 In whom ye also trusted after ye had heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, ye have been sealed with the holy Spirit of promise,
in whom ye also, having heard the word of the truth — the good news of your salvation — in whom also having believed, ye were sealed with the Holy Spirit of the promise,
14 which is the earnest of our inheritance, until the final redemption, acquired by him, come, to the praise of his glory.
which is an earnest of our inheritance, to the redemption of the acquired possession, to the praise of His glory.
15 For this cause I also, since I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and the love ye have to all saints,
Because of this I also, having heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and the love to all the saints,
16 have not ceased offering up my praises for you, making mention of you in my prayers,
do not cease giving thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers,
17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, would give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation by the knowledge of him;
that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of the glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the recognition of him,
18 the eyes of your understanding being enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he hath called you, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance for the saints,
the eyes of your understanding being enlightened, for your knowing what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,
19 and what the transcendent greatness of his power in us, who believe, according to the energy of his mighty strength
and what the exceeding greatness of His power to us who are believing, according to the working of the power of His might,
20 which he displayed in Christ when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly regions,
which He wrought in the Christ, having raised him out of the dead, and did set [him] at His right hand in the heavenly [places],
21 far above all principality, and authority, and power, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come; (aiōn g165)
far above all principality, and authority, and might, and lordship, and every name named, not only in this age, but also in the coming one; (aiōn g165)
22 and hath put all things under his feet, and hath appointed him head over all to the church,
and all things He did put under his feet, and did give him — head over all things to the assembly,
23 which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
which is his body, the fulness of Him who is filling the all in all,
