"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord
Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual
blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, 4just
as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world,
that we should be holy and blameless before Him. In love
5He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus
Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His
will, 6to the praise of the glory of His grace,
which He freely bestowed on us in the Beloved,"
(Eph. 1:3-6, NASB) |
