Blessed is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the one having blessed us with all spiritual blessing in the heavenlies in Christ:

in the economy of the fulness of the times, to rehead all things in Christ, those in the heavens, and those upon the earth; in him,
11 pūrvvaṁ khrīṣṭe viśvāsino ye vayam asmatto yat tasya mahimnaḥ praśaṁsā jāyate,
in whom we were also chosen by lot, having been predestinated according to the purpose of him who works all things within us according to the counsel of his own will;

Therefore I also, having heard of the faith among you in the Lord Jesus, and your love which is toward all the saints,
16 yuṣmānadhi nirantaram īśvaraṁ dhanyaṁ vadan prārthanāsamaye ca yuṣmān smaran varamimaṁ yācāmi|
I do not cease giving thanks for you making mention of you in my prayers;

which he has wrought in Christ, raising him from the dead, and seating him on his right hand in the heavenlies,
21 adhipatitvapadaṁ śāsanapadaṁ parākramo rājatvañcetināmāni yāvanti padānīha loke paraloke ca vidyante teṣāṁ sarvveṣām ūrddhve svarge nijadakṣiṇapārśve tam upaveśitavān, (aiōn g165)
above all government, and authority, and power, and lordship, and every name named, not only in this age, but in the age to come: (aiōn g165)
22 sarvvāṇi tasya caraṇayoradho nihitavān yā samitistasya śarīraṁ sarvvatra sarvveṣāṁ pūrayituḥ pūrakañca bhavati taṁ tasyā mūrddhānaṁ kṛtvā
and has subordinated all things beneath his feet, and given him to be head over all things to the church,
