Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

Ephesians 1
⁸ which He made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence,
⁹ having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself,
¹⁰ that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth--in Him.
¹¹ In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will,
¹² that we who first trusted in Christ should be to the praise of His glory.
¹³ In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,
¹⁴ who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.
¹⁵ Therefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints,
¹⁶ do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers:
¹⁷ that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him,
¹⁸ the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,
