Ephesians 1:4
NASB
Eph 1:4
&
just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before (Or {Him, in love}) Him. In love
Eph 1:5
&
He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will,
Eph 1:6
&
to the praise of the glory of His grace, which He freely bestowed on us in the Beloved.
Eph 1:7
&
In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace
Eph 1:8
&
which He lavished on us. In all wisdom and insight
Eph 1:9
&
He made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His kind intention which He purposed in Him
Eph 1:10
&
with a view to an administration suitable to the fullness of the times, {that is,} the summing up of all things in Christ, things in the heavens and things on the earth. In Him
Eph 1:11
&
also we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to His purpose who works all things after the counsel of His will,
Eph 1:12
&
to the end that we who were the first to hope in (I.e. the Messiah) Christ would be to the praise of His glory.
