3 Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly [things] in Christ;

4 according as he has chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blemish before him in charity;

5 having marked out beforehand [the way] for us to be adopted as sons by Jesus Christ in himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,

6 to the praise of the glory of his grace, in which he has made us accepted in the beloved;
