11in whom also we were made a heritage, having been foreordained according to the purpose of him who works all things after the counsel of his will;
12to the end that we should be to the praise of his glory, we who had before hoped in Christ:
13in whom you also, having heard the word of the truth, the gospel of your salvation, -- in whom, having also believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,
14who is a pledge of our inheritance, to the redemption of God`s own possession, to 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 you have toward all the saints,
16don`t cease to give thanks for you, making mention 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;
