Ephesians 1:3-14

Common English Bible w/ Apocrypha CEBA

3 Bless the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! He has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing that comes from heaven.

4 God chose us in Christ to be holy and blameless in God's presence before the creation of the world.

5 God destined us to be his adopted children through Jesus Christ because of his love. This was according to his goodwill and plan

6 and to honor his glorious grace that he has given to us freely through the Son whom he loves.

7 We have been ransomed through his Son's blood, and we have forgiveness for our failures based on his overflowing grace,

8 which he poured over us with wisdom and understanding.

9 God revealed his hidden design to us, which is according to his goodwill and the plan that he intended to accomplish through his Son.

10 This is what God planned for the climax of all times: to bring all things together in Christ, the things in heaven along with the things on earth.

11 We have also received an inheritance in Christ. We were destined by the plan of God, who accomplishes everything according to his design.

12 We are called to be an honor to God's glory because we were the first to hope in Christ.

13 You too heard the word of truth in Christ, which is the good news of your salvation. You were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit because you believed in Christ.

14 The Holy Spirit is the down payment on our inheritance, which is applied toward our redemption as God's own people, resulting in the honor of God's glory.

New International Version NIV

3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ.

4 For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love

5 he predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will—

6 to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves.

7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace

8 that he lavished on us. With all wisdom and understanding,

9 he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ,

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 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 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,

14 who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory.
