5. he destined us for adoption to himself through Jesus Christ, in accord with the favor of his will,
6. for the praise of the glory of his grace that he granted us in the beloved.
7. In him we have redemption by his blood, the forgiveness of transgressions, in accord with the riches of his grace
8. that he lavished upon us. In all wisdom and insight,
9. he has made known to us the mystery of his will in accord with his favor that he set forth in him
10. as a plan for the fullness of times, to sum up all things in Christ, in heaven and on earth.
11. In him we were also chosen, destined in accord with the purpose of the One who accomplishes all things according to the intention of his will,
12. so that we might exist for the praise of his glory, we who first hoped in Christ.
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.
18. May the eyes of [your] hearts be enlightened, that you may know what is the hope that belongs to his call, what are the riches of glory in his inheritance among the holy ones,
