Ephesians 1:11-16

In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been chosen in advance according to the purpose of him who conforms everything to his will, so that we, who were the first to hope in Christ, live for the praise of his glory. And you, having heard the word of truth, the good news of your salvation, and also having believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, who is a pledge of our inheritance, anticipating the redemption of those in God's possession, to the praise of his glory. This is the reason that, having heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and the love which you have for all the saints, I have not stopped thanking God for you, remembering you in my prayers.
