10 to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ.
11 in whom we have also obtained an inheritance, being marked out beforehand according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his own will,
11 In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will,

12 in order that we, who were the first to put our hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory.
13 in whom *ye* also [have trusted], having heard the word of the truth, the glad tidings of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, ye have been sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,
13 And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit,

15 Wherefore *I* also, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which [is] in you, and the love which [ye have] towards all the saints,
15 For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all God’s people,
16 do not cease giving thanks for you, making mention [of you] at my prayers,
16 I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers.
17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, would give you [the] spirit of wisdom and revelation in the full knowledge of him,
17 I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better.
18 being enlightened in the eyes of your heart, so that ye should know what is the hope of his calling, [and] what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
18 I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people,
19 and what the surpassing greatness of his power towards us who believe, according to the working of the might of his strength,
19 and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength
20 [in] which he wrought in the Christ [in] raising him from among [the] dead, and he set him down at his right hand in the heavenlies,
20 he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms,
21 above every principality, and authority, and power, and dominion, and every name named, not only in this age, but also in that to come;
21 far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come.
22 and has put all things under his feet, and gave him [to be] head over all things to the assembly,
22 And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church,
23 which is his body, the fulness of him who fills all in all:
23 which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.
