Ephesians 1:8
6 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
that He lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding.
9 And He has made known to us the mystery of His will according to His good pleasure, which He purposed in Christ
10 as a plan for the fullness of time, to bring all things in heaven and on earth together in Christ.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
