^9 (A)making known to us the mystery of His will, ^(B)according to His good pleasure which He ^(C)purposed in Him ¹⁰ for an administration of ^(D)the fullness of the times, that is, ^(E)the summing up of all things in Christ, things ^[a]in the heavens and things on the earth in Him. ¹¹ In ^[b]Him, we also ^[c](F)have been made an inheritance, having been ^(G)predestined ^(H)according to the purpose of Him who works all things ^(I)according to the counsel of His will, ¹² to the end that we who first have hoped in ^[d]Christ would be ^(J)to the praise of His glory. ¹³ In ^[e]Him, you also, after listening to ^(K)the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation—having also ^[f]believed, you were ^(L)sealed in ^[g]Him with ^(M)the Holy Spirit of promise, ¹⁴ who is ^[h](N)given as a pledge of ^(O)our inheritance, unto the ^(P)redemption of ^(Q)God’s own possession, ^(R)to the praise of His glory.

¹⁵ For this reason I too, ^(S)having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which exists among you and ^[i]your love for ^(T)all the ^[j]saints, ^16 (U)do not cease giving thanks for you, ^(V)while making mention of you in my prayers: ¹⁷ that the ^(W)God of our Lord Jesus Christ, ^(X)the Father of glory, may give to you the ^[k]Spirit of ^(Y)wisdom and of ^(Z)revelation in the ^[l]full knowledge of Him, ¹⁸ so that you—^(AA)the eyes of your heart having been enlightened—will know what is the ^(AB)hope of His ^(AC)calling, what are ^(AD)the riches of the glory of ^(AE)His inheritance in ^(AF)the ^[m]saints, ¹⁹ and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe ^(AG)according to the working of the ^(AH)might of His strength, ²⁰ which He worked in Christ, by ^(AI)raising Him from the dead and ^(AJ)seating Him at His right hand in ^(AK)the heavenly places, ²¹ far above ^(AL)all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every ^(AM)name that is named, not only in ^(AN)this age but also in the one to come. ²² And ^(AO)He put all things in subjection under His feet, and gave Him as ^(AP)head over all things to the church, ²³ which is His ^(AQ)body, the ^(AR)fullness of Him who ^(AS)fills ^(AT)all in all.

²² But ^(A)I urge you, ^(B)brothers, ^[a]bear with ^[b]this ^(C)word of exhortation, for ^(D)I have written to you briefly.

¹² Through ^(A)Silvanus, our faithful brother as I regard him, ^(B)I have written to you briefly, exhorting and bearing witness that this is ^(C)the true grace of God. ^(D)Stand firm in it!
