Ephesians 1:4-8

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.

In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our wrongdoings, according to the riches of His grace

which He lavished on us. In all wisdom and insight
