Ephesians 1:9-10He made known to us the Mystery of His will...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.
Beforehand, Ephesians 1:3-4 is -
- 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. 4 For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight.
Immediately after Eph. 1:9-10 are vv. 11-13 -
- 11 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, 12 in order that we, who are [the] ones first trusted in Christ, for the praise of his glory. 13 And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. . . .
Ephesians 1 finishes -
- 22 And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, 23 which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.
