Ephesians 01:3–12

Read down to the center, where the pattern turns; then rise back out through its mirror.

A. 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
- B. 4-5a According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself,
  - C. 5b according to the good pleasure of his will,
    - D. 6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
      - E. 7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
    - D'. 8 Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;
  - C'. 9-10 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:
- B'. 11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:
A'. 12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
