predestinated us in love to an adoption through Jesus Christ to
himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, [1:6]to the praise
of his glorious grace, which he bestowed upon us in the beloved,
[1:7]in whom we have the redemption through his blood, the forgiveness
of sins, according to the riches of his grace, [1:8]which he bestowed
on us abundantly with all wisdom and knowledge [1:9]making known to us
the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he
purposed in himself [1:10]in respect to the dispensation of the
fullness of times, to bring all things into one in Christ, the things
