1:3 Spiritual blessings
3 We praise God, the father of our master Yeshua the messiah.[fn] He is the one who’s blessed us with every spiritual blessing in heavenly places—blessings that come from the messiah. 4 He chose us to follow him even before the creation of the world, so that we could become pure and blameless in front of him. Because of his love 5 he decided in advance to adopt us as his children through Yeshua the messiah. His decision gave him great pleasure 6 and now he’s praised for the greatness of his grace which favoured us, as the one he loved 7 [ref]redeemed us by means of his blood and forgave our sins. It was from the riches of his grace 8 that was poured onto us that we gain wisdom and understanding 9 as he revealed the mystery of his will to us according to his great pleasure as he himself planned. 10 He planned for the orchestration of the times, and at the right time he will gather everything, whether in heaven or here on earth, for the messiah 11 and we also have been assigned an inheritance in him. This was also predetermined according to God’s plan and the decisions of his will 12 so that we, the ones who first put our trust in the messiah, would praise his greatness. 13 And you all also, after hearing the message of truth, the good message about being saved, were confirmed by receiving the spirit of pure promise after you believed. 14 This spirit is the deposit on our inheritance until we procure the freedom which has been bought for us, leading us to praise God’s greatness.
1:3 Verses 3-14 seem to be just one long, rambling sentence in the Greek, and it’s not totally clear what each part means, or how they all connect logically together in sequence. We have split it into smaller sentence chunks to try to help our readers extract some meaning out of it.
