Paul’s Letter To The Ephesians
(paraphrased)
1 - Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God - To the saints (believers, set apart ones) who are in Ephesus, and are faithful in Christ Jesus:
2 Grace to you! And peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing of the heavenly realms. 4 Even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him, in love. 5 He predestined us for adoption to himself as sons and daughters through Jesus Christ, according to what he purposes, the working out of his will, 6 to the praise of his glorious grace! With which he has blessed us in the beloved.
7 In him we have redemption {changed course} through his blood {and Life} the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the richness of his grace, 8 which he has lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight, 9 making known to us the mystery of his will. And this according to his purpose, which he {at the foundation, beginning, and blueprint} set forth in Christ 10 as the plan for the fullness {completion} of time, to unite all in him, the all of heaven and the all upon earth. [All is pas - “all, every, the whole”. The word “things” was inserted three times in this verse, turning “all” into “all things”. Due to translator partial disbelief?]

My own studies. Been neglecting Psalms (jan 1-20, feb-20’s, mar-30’s, apr-40’s, etc. dec-120-150) and the Prophets.
