For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love
according as he has chosen us in him before [the] world's foundation, that we should be holy and blameless before him in love;

to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves.

having made known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in himself
to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment — to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ.
for [the] administration of the fulness of times; to head up all things in the Christ, the things in the heavens and the things upon the earth; in him,

in order that we, who were the first to put our hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory.

And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit,
in whom *ye* also [have trusted], having heard the word of the truth, the glad tidings of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, ye have been sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,
who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession — to the praise of his glory.
who is [the] earnest of our inheritance to the redemption of the acquired possession to [the] praise of his glory.

that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, would give you [the] spirit of wisdom and revelation in the full knowledge of him,
I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people,
being enlightened in the eyes of your heart, so that ye should know what is the hope of his calling, [and] what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength
and what the surpassing greatness of his power towards us who believe, according to the working of the might of his strength,
