12. for our being to the praise of His glory, [even] those who did first hope in the Christ,
13. in whom ye also, having heard the word of the truth--the good news of your salvation--in whom also having believed, ye were sealed with the Holy Spirit of the promise,
14. which is an earnest of our inheritance, to the redemption of the acquired possession, to the praise of His glory.
15. Because of this I also, having heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and the love to all the saints,
16. do not cease giving thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers,
17. that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of the glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the recognition of him,
18. the eyes of your understanding being enlightened, for your knowing what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,
19. and what the exceeding greatness of His power to us who are believing, according to the working of the power of His might,
20. which He wrought in the Christ, having raised him out of the dead, and did set [him] at His right hand in the heavenly [places],
21. far above all principality, and authority, and might, and lordship, and every name named, not only in this age, but also in the coming one;
22. and all things He did put under his feet, and did give him--head over all things to the assembly,
23. which is his body, the fulness of Him who is filling the all in all,
