EPHESIANS 1:3-14

            EXEGESIS OF THE PASSAGES

3
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord, Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ;
4
even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and without blemish before him in love;
5
having predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his desire,
6
to the praise of the glory of his grace, which he freely bestowed on us in the Beloved,
7
in whom we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,
8
which he made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence,
9
making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in him
to an administration of the fullness of the times, to sum up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens, and the things on the earth, in him;
in whom also we were made a heritage, having been foreordained according to the purpose of him who works all things after the counsel of his will;
to the end that we should be to the praise of his glory, we who had before hoped in Christ:
in whom you also, having heard the word of the truth, the gospel of your salvation, -- in whom, having also believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,
who is a pledge of our inheritance, to the redemption of God`s own possession, to the praise of his glory.
