 He predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to himself to the praise of the glory of his grace By which he made us accepted in him in him We have redemption through his blood the forgiveness of sins in him He has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in him Having believed we were also sealed with a holy spirit of promise He recognized Paul's words from Ephesians chapter one right in him We have obtained an inheritance being predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things According to the counsel of his own will so that in him throughout the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us
