Ephesians 1:5-10 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

5. God was kind and decided that Christ would choose us to be God's own adopted children.

6. God was very kind to us because of the Son he dearly loves, and so we should praise God.

7-8. Christ sacrificed his life's blood to set us free, which means that our sins are now forgiven. Christ did this because God was so kind to us. God has great wisdom and understanding,

9. and by what Christ has done, God has shown us his own mysterious ways.

10. Then when the time is right, God will do all that he has planned, and Christ will bring together everything in heaven and on earth.
