Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ.
For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love
he predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will-
to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves.
In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace
that he lavished on us. With all wisdom and understanding,
he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ,
to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment-to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ.
In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will,
in order that we, who were the first to put our hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory.
願頌讚歸與我們主耶穌基督的父神！他在基督裡曾賜給我們天上各樣屬靈的福氣：
就如神從創立世界以前，在基督裡揀選了我們，使我們在他面前成為聖潔，無有瑕疵；
又因愛我們，就按著自己意旨所喜悅的，預定我們藉著耶穌基督得兒子的名分，
使他榮耀的恩典得著稱讚；這恩典是他在愛子裡所賜給我們的。
我們藉這愛子的血得蒙救贖，過犯得以赦免，乃是照他豐富的恩典。
這恩典是神用諸般智慧聰明，充充足足賞給我們的；
都是照他自己所預定的美意，叫我們知道他旨意的奧秘，
要照所安排的，在日期滿足的時候，使天上、地上、一切所有的都在基督裡面同歸於一。
我們也在他裡面得（得：或作成）了基業；這原是那位隨己意行、做萬事的，照著他旨意所預定的，
叫他的榮耀從我們這首先在基督裡有盼望的人可以得著稱讚。
