Ephesians 1:6
4 For He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world to be holy and blameless in His presence. In love
5 He predestined us for adoption as His sons through Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of His will,
to the praise of His glorious grace, which He has freely given us in the Beloved One.
7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace
8 that He lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
