Ephesians 1:12

¹⁰ as a plan for the fullness of time, to bring all things in heaven and on earth together in Christ.

¹¹ In Him we were also chosen as God’s own, having been predestined according to the plan of Him who works out everything by the counsel of His will,

in order that we, who were the first to hope in Christ, would be for the praise of His glory.

¹³ And in Him, having heard and believed the word of truth—the gospel of your salvation—you were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,

¹⁴ who is the pledge of our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession, to the praise of His glory.
