saints that are at Ephesus, and the faithful in Christ Jesus: <\/br><strong>2<\/strong> Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. <\/br><strong>3<\/strong> Blessed `be&#8217; the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly `places&#8217; in Christ: <\/br><strong>4<\/strong> even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blemish before him in love: <\/br><strong>5<\/strong> having foreordained us unto adoption as sons through Jesus Christ unto himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, <\/br><strong>6<\/strong> to the praise of the glory of his grace, which he freely bestowed on us in the Beloved: <\/br><strong>7<\/strong> in whom we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, <\/br><strong>8<\/strong> which he made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence, <\/br><strong>9<\/strong> making known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in him <\/br><strong>10<\/strong> unto a dispensation of the fulness of the times, to sum up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens, and the things upon the earth; in him, `I say,&#8217; <\/br><strong>11<\/strong> in whom also we were made a heritage, having been foreordained according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his will; <\/br><strong>12<\/strong> to the end that we should be unto the praise of his glory, we who had before hoped in Christ: <\/br><strong>13<\/strong> in whom ye also, having heard the word of the truth, the gospel of your salvation,&#8211; in whom, having also believed, ye were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, <\/br><strong>14<\/strong> which is an earnest of our inheritance, unto the redemption of `God&#8217;s&#8217; own possession, unto the praise of his glory. <\/br><strong>15<\/strong> For this cause I also, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which is among you, and the love which `ye show&#8217; toward all the saints, <\/br><strong>16<\/strong> cease not to give thanks for you, making mention `of you&#8217; in my prayers; <\/br><strong>17<\/strong> that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him; <\/br><strong>18<\/strong> having the eyes of your heart enlightened, that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, <\/br><strong>19<\/strong> and what the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to that working of the strength of his might <\/br><strong>20<\/strong> which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and made him to sit at his right hand in the heavenly `places&#8217;, <\/br><strong>21<\/strong> far above all rule, and authority, and power, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: <\/br><strong>22<\/strong> and he put all things in subjection under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things to the church, <\/br><strong>23<\/strong> which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all. <\/br><script
