| 1:8 | Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; |
| 1:9 | Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: |
| 1:10 | That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: |
| 1:11 | In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: |
| 1:12 | That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. |
| 1:13 | In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, |
| 1:14 | Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory. |
| 1:15 | Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, |
| 1:16 | Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; |
| 1:17 | That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: |
| 1:18 | The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, |
| 1:19 | And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, |
| 1:20 | Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, |
| 1:21 | Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: |
| 1:22 | And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, |
| 1:23 | Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all. |
