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,
16Give praise without end for you, keeping you in mind in my prayers;
17That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him;
