3. Blessed be the Elohim and Father of our Master יהושע Messiah, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenlies in Messiah,
4. even as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be set-apart and blameless before Him in love,
5. having previously ordained us to adoption as sons through יהושע Messiah to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His desire,
6. to the praise of the esteem of His favour with which He favoured us in the Beloved,
7. in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of trespasses, according to the riches of His favour,
8. which He has lavished on us in all wisdom and insight,
9. having made known to us the secret of His desire, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Him,
