8. that He lavished on us. In all wisdom and insight,
9. He made known to us the mystery of His will, in keeping with His good pleasure that He planned in Messiah.
10. The plan of the fullness of times is to bring all things together in the Messiah—both things in heaven and things on earth, all in Him.
11. In Him we also were chosen, predestined according to His plan. He keeps working out all things according to the purpose of His will—
12. so that we, who were first to put our hope in Messiah, might be for His glorious praise.
13. After you heard the message of truth—the Good News of your salvation—and when you put your trust in Him, you were sealed with the promised Ruach ha-Kodesh.
14. He is the guarantee of our inheritance, until the redemption of His possession—to His glorious praise!
15. Therefore, ever since I heard of your trust in the Lord Yeshua and of your love for all the kedoshim,
16. I never stop giving thanks for you as I mention you in my prayers—
17. that the God of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, our glorious Father, may give you spiritual wisdom and revelation in knowing Him.
