Ephesians 1:2-6

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

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,

just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him. In love

He predestined us to adoption as sons and daughters through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will,

to the praise of the glory of His grace, with which He favored us in the Beloved.
