Ephesians 1:1-5
1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at (resting within) Ephesus, and to the faithful in (resting within) Christ Jesus:
2 Grace be to you, and peace, from (origin or source) God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all (every) spiritual blessings in (resting within) heavenly (the heavenlies) places in Christ:
4 According as he hath chosen us in (resting within) him before the foundation of the world (the disruption or ruin of the world), that we should be holy and without blame (blemish of sin) before (in his sight) him in love:
5 Having predestinated (foreordained) us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according (even) to the good pleasure of his will,
Ephesians 1:11-14
11 In whom also we have obtained (to be a receiver of a portion of an inheritance , to obtain by lot) an inheritance, being predestinated (fore ordained, predetermined) according to the purpose (of what one sets before his mind) of him who worketh (to be in work, active, energized) all things after the counsel of his own will:
12 That (t0 the end) we should be to the praise (praised upon) of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
13 In whom ye also trusted (ellipsis: in whom ye were made an inheritance also; or allotted as God’s own inheritance), after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed (a seal affixed, implies possession) with that holy Spirit of promise,
14 Which is the earnest (pledge) of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
