Ephesians
Chapters 1:11-17
Revised Version 1885
11in whom also we were made a heritage, having been foreordained according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his will;
12to the end that we should be unto the praise of his glory, we who had before hoped in Christ:
13in whom ye also, having heard the word of the truth, the gospel of your salvation,--in whom, having also believed, ye were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,
14which is an earnest of our inheritance, unto the redemption of God's own possession, unto the praise of his glory.
15For this cause I also, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which is among you, and which ye shew toward all the saints,
16cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;
17that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him;
