according as he had previously chosen us in him, before the foundation of the world, that we might be holy and without blame before him; and, in love, predestinated us for himself;

13 In quo et vos, cum audissetis verbum veritatis, (Evangelium salutis vestrae) in quo et credentes signati estis Spiritu promissionis sancto,
In whom, ye also have heard the word of truth, which is the gospel of your life, and have believed in him; and have been sealed with the Holy Spirit, who was promised,
14 qui est pignus hereditatis nostrae, in redemptionem acquisitionis, in laudem gloriae ipsius.

15 Propterea et ego audiens fidem vestram, quae est in Christo Iesu, et dilectionem in omnes sanctos,
Therefore, lo I also, since I heard of your faith in our Lord Jesus the Messiah, and of your love towards all the saints,
16 non cesso gratias agens pro vobis, memoriam vestri faciens in orationibus meis:

that the God of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, the Father of glory, may give to you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation, in the recognition of him;
18 illuminatos oculos cordis vestri, ut sciatis quae sit spes vocationis eius, et quae divitiae gloriae hereditatis eius in sanctis,
and that the eyes of your hearts may be enlightened, so 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 et quae sit supereminens magnitudo virtutis eius in nos, qui credimus secundum operationem potentiae virtutis eius,
and what is the excellence of the majesty of his power in us who believe; according to the efficiency of the strength of his power,
20 quam operatus est in Christo, suscitans illum a mortuis, et constituens ad dexteram suam in caelestibus:
which he put forth in the Messiah, and raised him from the dead, and seated him at his right hand in heaven,
21 supra omnem principatum et potestatem, et virtutem, et dominationem, et omne nomen, quod nominatur non solum in hoc saeculo, sed etiam in futuro. (aiōn g165)
high above all principalities, and authorities, and powers, and lordships, and above every name that is named, not only in this world but also in that to come: (aiōn g165)
