In whom also we were taken as an inheritance, according to the purpose of him who energiseth all things according to the counsel of his will,

That we should be for the praise of his glory - we who had hoped beforehand in the Christ, -

In whom, ye also - hearing the word of the truth, the glad-message of your salvation, - in whom also believing, - were sealed with the Spirit of the promise, the Holy Spirit ,

Which is an earnest of our inheritance, unto the redemption of the acquisition; - unto his glorious praise.
