13. In him you also, who have heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and have believed in him, were sealed with the promised holy Spirit,
14. which is the first installment of our inheritance toward redemption as God’s possession, to the praise of his glory.
15. Therefore, I, too, hearing of your faith in the Lord Jesus and of your love for all the holy ones,
16. do not cease giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers,
17. that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation resulting in knowledge of him.
