6. to the praise of His glorious grace that He favored us with in the Beloved.
7. We have redemption in Him through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace
8. that He lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding.
9. He made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure that He planned in Him
10. for the administration of the days of fulfillment — to bring everything together in the Messiah, both things in heaven and things on earth in Him.
11. We have also received an inheritance in Him, predestined according to the purpose of the One who works out everything in agreement with the decision of His will,
12. so that we who had already put our hope in the Messiah might bring praise to His glory.
13. When you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and when you believed in Him, you were also sealed with the promised Holy Spirit.
14. He is the down payment of our inheritance, for the redemption of the possession, to the praise of His glory.
15. This is why, since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints,
16. I never stop giving thanks for you as I remember you in my prayers.
