^{6 Ref} to the praise of the glory of his grace, which he freely bestowed on us in the Beloved:

^{7 Ref} in whom we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,

^{8 Ref} which he made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence,

^{9 Ref} making known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in him

^{10 Ref} unto a dispensation of the fulness of the times, to sum up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens, and the things upon the earth; in him, `I say,'

^{11 Ref} in whom also we were made a heritage, having been foreordained according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his will;

^{12 Ref} to the end that we should be unto the praise of his glory, we who had before hoped in Christ:

^{13 Ref} in whom ye also, having heard the word of the truth, the gospel of your salvation,-- in whom, having also believed, ye were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,

^{14 Ref} which is an earnest of our inheritance, unto the redemption of `God's' own possession, unto the praise of his glory.
