Ephesians 1:11

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,

Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.

Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,

According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:

Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:

And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.

Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath:

Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.
