13. in whom you also, having heard the word of the truth, the Good News of your deliverance, in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Set-apart Spirit of promise,
14. who is the pledge of our inheritance, until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His esteem.

16. do not cease giving thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers,
17. that the Elohim of our Master יהושע Messiah, the Father of esteem, would give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him,
18. the eyes of your understanding being enlightened, so that you know what is the expectation of His calling, and what are the riches of the esteem of His inheritance in the set-apart ones,
19. and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who are believing, according to the working of His mighty strength,
