Spiritual Blessings in Christ
3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,7 who has blessed us in the heavenly realms8 with every spiritual blessing in Christ. 4 For he chose us9 in him before the creation of the world10 to be holy and blameless11 in his sight. In love12 5 hec predestined13 us to be adopted as his sons14 through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure15 and will-- 6 to the praise of his glorious grace,16 which he has freely given us in the One he loves.17 7 In him we have redemption18 through his blood,19 the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches20 of God's grace 8 that he lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding. 9 And hed made known to us the mystery21 of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed22 in Christ, 10 to be put into effect when the times will have reached their fulfillment23--to bring all things in heaven and on earth together under one head, even Christ.24 11 In him we were also chosen,e having been predestined25 according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose26 of his will, 12 in order that we, who were the first to hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory.27 13 And you also were included in Christ28 when you heard the word of truth,29 the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal,30 the promised Holy Spirit,31 14 who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance32 until the redemption33 of those who are God's possession--to the praise of his glory.34Scripture quoted by permission.
