Ephesians 1:7-17

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁷ In whom we have redemption through his blood, the remission of sins, according to the riches of his grace,

⁸ Which hath superabounded in us in all wisdom and prudence,

⁹ That he might make known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure, which he hath purposed in him,

¹⁰ In the dispensation of the fulness of times, to re-establish all things in Christ, that are in heaven and on earth, in him.

¹¹ In whom we also are called by lot, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things according to the counsel of his will.

¹² That we may be unto the praise of his glory, we who before hoped Christ:

¹³ In whom you also, after you had heard the word of truth, (the gospel of your salvation;) in whom also believing, you were signed with the holy Spirit of promise,

¹⁴ Who is the pledge of our inheritance, unto the redemption of acquisition, unto the praise of his glory.

¹⁵ Wherefore I also, hearing of your faith that is in the Lord Jesus, and of your love towards all the saints,

¹⁶ Cease not to give thanks for you, making commemoration of you in my prayers,

¹⁷ That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and of revelation, in the knowledge of him:
