Ephesians 1:11-13

New Catholic Bible

¹¹ In Christ we were also chosen,
    having been predestined
by the one who accomplishes all things
in accordance with the design of his will,
¹² so that we,
who were the first ones
to place our hopes in Christ,
would devote ourselves
to the praise of his glory.
¹³ In Christ
you also heard the message of truth
and the gospel of your salvation,
and you came to believe in him.
In him,
you were marked with the seal
of the Holy Spirit
who had been promised.
