Ephesians 1:2-4
The Voice
2 May God the Father and the Lord Jesus the Anointed surround you with grace and peace.
This letter begins with praise and thanksgiving to
- God the Father, who blesses us
- Jesus, who redeems us
- the Holy Spirit, who seals us.
3 Blessed be God, the Father of our Lord Jesus the Anointed One, who grants us every spiritual blessing in these heavenly realms where we live in the Anointed—not because of anything we have done, but because of what He has done for us. 4 God chose us to be in a relationship with Him even before He laid out plans for this world; He wanted us to live holy lives characterized by love, free from sin, and blameless before Him.
