9Having made clear to us the secret of his purpose, in agreement with the design which he had in mind, to put into his hands
10The ordering of the times when they are complete, so that all things might come to a head in Christ, the things in heaven and the things on the earth; in him, I say,
11In whom we have a heritage, being marked out from the first in his purpose who does all things in agreement with his designs;
12So that his glory might have praise through us who first had hope in Christ:
13In whom you, having been given the true word, the good news of your salvation, and through your faith in him, were given the sign of the Holy Spirit of hope,
14Which is the first-fruit of our heritage, till God gets back that which is his, to the praise of his glory.
15For this cause I, having had news of the faith in the Lord Jesus which is among you, and which you make clear to all the saints,
