He ^(F1)(C1)made known to us the mystery of His will, ^(C2)according to His good pleasure which He ^(C3)set forth in Him,

regarding His plan of ^(C1)the fullness of the times, ^(C2)to bring all things together in Christ, things ^(F1)in the heavens and things on the earth.

^(F1)In Him we also ^(C1)have obtained an inheritance, having been ^(C2)predestined ^(C3)according to the purpose of Him who works all things ^(C4)in accordance with the plan of His will,

to the end that ^(F1)we who were the first to hope in the ^(F2)Christ would be ^(C1)to the praise of His glory.

In ^(F1)Him, ^(F2)you also, after listening to ^(C1)the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation—having also ^(F3)believed, you were ^(C2)sealed in ^(F1)Him with ^(C3)the Holy Spirit of the promise,

who is a ^(C1)first installment of ^(C2)our inheritance, in regard to the ^(C3)redemption of ^(C4)God's own possession, ^(C5)to the praise of His glory.

For this reason I too, ^(C1)having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which exists among you and ^(F1)your love for ^(C2)all the ^(F2)saints,

^(C1)do not cease giving thanks for you, ^(C2)while making mention of you in my prayers;

that the ^(C1)God of our Lord Jesus Christ, ^(C2)the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of ^(C3)wisdom and of ^(C4)revelation in the ^(F1)knowledge of Him.
