7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; |
8 Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; |
9 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: |
10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: |
11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: |
12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. |
13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, |
14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory. |
15 Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, |
16 Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; |
17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: |
