Ephesians 1:11-14

Blessed in Christ and Enlightened to Know His Power

Paul blesses God for every spiritual blessing in Christ, then prays that believers would know the hope, inheritance, and power already given to them through Christ's exaltation.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

11 In Him we were also chosen as God’s own, having been predestined according to the plan of Him who works out everything by the counsel of His will,

12 in order that we, who were the first to hope in Christ, would be for the praise of His glory.

13 And in Him, having heard and believed the word of truth—the gospel of your salvation—you were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,

14 who is the pledge of our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession, to the praise of His glory.
