New International Version (NIV) |
|
9 having made known to us the secret of His will, according to His good pleasure, that He purposed in Himself,
|
9 And he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ,
|
|
10 in regard to the dispensation of the fulness of the times, to bring into one the whole in the Christ, both the things in the heavens, and the things upon the earth -- in him;
|
10 to be put into effect when the times will have reached their fulfillment--to bring all things in heaven and on earth together under one head, even Christ.
|
|
11 in whom also we did obtain an inheritance, being foreordained according to the purpose of Him who the all things is working according to the counsel of His 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 for our being to the praise of His glory, [even] those who did first hope in the Christ,
|
12 in order that we, who were the first to hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory.
|
|
13 in whom ye also, having heard the word of the truth -- the good news of your salvation -- in whom also having believed, ye were sealed with the Holy Spirit of the promise,
|
13 And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit,
|
|
14 which is an earnest of our inheritance, to the redemption of the acquired possession, to the praise of His glory.
|
14 who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession--to the praise of his glory.
|
|
15 Because of this I also, having heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and the love to all the saints,
|
15 For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints,
|
|
16 do not cease giving thanks for you, making mention of you in 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 the glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the recognition 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 the eyes of your understanding being enlightened, for your knowing what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,
|
18 I pray also 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 the saints,
|
|
19 and what the exceeding greatness of His power to us who are believing, according to the working of the power of His might,
|
19 and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength,
