10unto 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,]
11in 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;
12to the end that we should be unto the praise of his glory, we who had before hoped in Christ:
13in 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,
14which is an earnest of our inheritance, unto the redemption of [God`s] own possession, unto the praise of his glory.
15For this cause I also, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which is among you, and the love which [ye show] toward all the saints,
16cease not to give thanks for you, making mention [of you] in my prayers;
