Spiritual Blessings in
Christ
3 Blessed is the
God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every
spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms in Christ. 4 For he chose
us in Christ before the foundation of the world that we may be holy and
unblemished in his sight in love. 5 He did this by predestining us to
adoption as his sons through Jesus Christ, according to the pleasure of his
will— 6 to the praise of the glory of his grace that he has freely
bestowed on us in his dearly loved Son. 7 In him we have redemption
through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches
of his grace 8 that he lavished on us in all wisdom and insight. 9 He
did this when he revealed to us the secret of his will, according to his good
pleasure that he set forth in Christ, 10 toward the administration of the
fullness of the times, to head up all things in Christ—the things in heaven and
the things on earth. 11 In Christ we too have been claimed as God’s own
possession, since we were predestined according to the one purpose of him who
accomplishes all things according to the counsel of his will 12 so that
we, who were the first to set our hope on Christ, would be to the praise of his
glory. 13 And when you heard the word of truth (the gospel of your
salvation)—when you believed in Christ—you were marked with the seal of the
promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is the down payment of our inheritance, until
the redemption of God’s own possession, to the praise of his glory.
