2Grace[G5485] be to you[G5213], and[G2532]peace[G1515], from[G575]God[G2316]our[G2257]Father[G3962], and[G2532]from[G575] the Lord[G2962]Jesus[G2424]Christ[G5547].
3Blessed[G2128] be the God[G2316]and[G2532]Father[G3962] of our[G2257]Lord[G2962]Jesus[G2424]Christ[G5547], who[G3588] hath blessed[G2127]us[G2248]with[G1722]all[G3956]spiritual[G4152]blessings[G2129]in[G1722]heavenly[G2032] places in[G1722]Christ[G5547]:

According as[G2531] he hath chosen[G1586]us[G2248]in[G1722]him[G846]before[G4253] the foundation[G2602] of the world[G2889], that we[G2248] should be[G1511]holy[G40]and[G2532] without blame[G299]before[G2714]him[G846]in[G1722]love[G26]:
5
Having predestinated[G4309]us[G2248]unto[G1519] the adoption of children[G5206]by[G1223]Jesus[G2424]Christ[G5547]to[G1519]himself[G846], according[G2596]to[G1519] the good pleasure[G2107] of his[G846]will[G2307],
6To[G1519] the praise[G1868] of the glory[G1391] of his[G846]grace[G5485], wherein[G1722] he hath made[G5487]us[G2248]accepted[G5487]in[G1722] the beloved[G25].
7In[G1722]whom[G3739] we have[G2192]redemption[G629]through[G1223]his[G846]blood[G129], the forgiveness[G859] of sins[G3900], according[G2596] to the riches[G4149] of his[G846]grace[G5485];
8Wherein[G3739] he hath abounded[G4052]toward[G1519]us[G2248]in[G1722]all[G3956]wisdom[G4678]and[G2532]prudence[G5428];
9
Having made known[G1107] unto us[G2254] the mystery[G3466] of his[G846]will[G2307], according to[G2596]his[G846] good pleasure[G2107]which[G3739] he hath purposed[G4388]in[G1722]himself[G846]:
10
That in[G1519] the dispensation[G3622] of the fulness[G4138] of times[G2540] he might gather together in[G1722]one[G346] all things[G3956]in[G1722]Christ[G5547], both[G5037]which[G3588] are in[G1722]heaven[G3772], and[G2532]which[G3588] are on[G1909]earth[G1093]; even in[G1722]him[G846]:
11In[G1722]whom[G3739]also[G2532] we have obtained an inheritance[G2820], being predestinated[G4309] according to[G2596] the purpose[G4286] of him who worketh[G1754] all things[G3956]after[G2596] the counsel[G1012] of his own[G846]will[G2307]:
12That[G1519]we[G2248] should be[G1511]to[G1519] the praise[G1868] of his[G846]glory[G1391], who[G3588] first trusted[G4276]in[G1722]Christ[G5547].
13In[G1722]whom[G3739]ye[G5210]also[G2532] trusted, after that ye[G5210]heard[G191] the word[G3056] of truth[G225], the gospel[G2098] of your[G5216]salvation[G4991]: in[G1722]whom[G3739]also[G2532] after that ye[G5210]believed[G4100], ye[G5210] were sealed with[G4972] that holy[G40]Spirit[G4151] of promise[G1860],
14Which[G3739]is[G2076] the earnest[G728] of our[G2257]inheritance[G2817]until[G1519] the redemption[G629] of the purchased possession[G4047], unto[G1519] the praise[G1868] of his[G846]glory[G1391].
15Wherefore[G1223] I also[G2504], after I heard[G191]of[G2596]your[G5209]faith[G4102]in[G1722] the Lord[G2962]Jesus[G2424], and[G2532]love[G26]unto[G1519]all[G3956] the saints[G40],
16Cease[G3973]not[G3756] to give thanks[G2168]for[G5228]you[G5216], making[G4160]mention[G3417] of you[G5216]in[G1909]my[G3450]prayers[G4335];
17That[G2443] the God[G2316] of our[G2257]Lord[G2962]Jesus[G2424]Christ[G5547], the Father[G3962] of glory[G1391], may give[G1325] unto you[G5213] the spirit[G4151] of wisdom[G4678]and[G2532]revelation[G602]in[G1722] the knowledge[G1922] of him[G846]:
18
The eyes[G3788] of your[G5216]understanding[G1271] being enlightened[G5461]; that[G1519]ye[G5209] may know[G1492]what[G5101]is[G2076] the hope[G1680] of his[G846]calling[G2821], and[G2532]what[G5101] the riches[G4149] of the glory[G1391] of his[G846]inheritance[G2817]in[G1722] the saints[G40],
19And[G2532]what[G5101] is the exceeding[G5235]greatness[G3174] of his[G846]power[G1411]to[G1519]us-ward[G2248]who[G3588]believe[G4100], according to[G2596] the working[G1753] of his[G846]mighty[G2479]power[G2904],
20Which[G3739] he wrought[G1754]in[G1722]Christ[G5547], when he raised[G1453]him[G846]from[G1537] the dead[G3498], and[G2532]set[G2523]him[G846]at[G1722] his own[G846] right hand[G1188]in[G1722] the heavenly[G2032] places,
21
Far above[G5231]all[G3956]principality[G746], and[G2532]power[G1849], and[G2532]might[G1411], and[G2532]dominion[G2963], and[G2532]every[G3956]name[G3686] that is named[G3687], not[G3756]only[G3440]in[G1722]this[G5129]world[G165], but[G235]also[G2532]in[G1722] that which is to come[G3195]:
22And[G2532] hath put[G5293]all[G3956] things under[G5259]his[G846]feet[G4228], and[G2532]gave[G1325]him[G846] to be the head[G2776]over[G5228]all[G3956] things to the church[G1577],
23Which[G3748]is[G2076]his[G846]body[G4983], the fulness[G4138] of him that filleth[G4137]all[G3956]in[G1722]all[G3956].
