known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in
himself:
10
That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things
in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth;
even
in him:
11
In whom also we have
obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things
after the counsel of his own will:
12
That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted
in Christ.
13
In whom ye also
trusted,
after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your
salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
14
Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto
the praise of his glory.
15
Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints,
16
Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;
17
That the God of our
Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in
the knowledge of him:
18
The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know
what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
19
And what
is
the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working
of his mighty power,
20
Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set
him
at his own right hand in the heavenly
places,
21
Far above all principality, and power, and
might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which
is to come:
22
And hath put all
things
under his feet, and gave him
to be
the head over all
things
to
the church,
23
Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
CHAPTER 2
And you
hath he quickened,
who were dead in trespasses and sins;
2
Wherein in time past ye walked
according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that
now worketh in the children of disobedience:
3
Among whom also we all had our conversation in
times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by
nature the children of wrath, even as others.
4
But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love
wherewith he loved us,
5
Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ,
(by grace ye are saved;)
6
And hath raised
us
up together, and made
us
sit together in heavenly
places
in Christ Jesus:
7
That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace
in
his
kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
8
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that
not of yourselves:
it is
the gift of God:
9
Not of works, lest any man should boast.
10
For we are his
workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we
should walk in them.
11
Wherefore remember, that ye
being
in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called
Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;
12
That at that
