10 De reunir todas las cosas en Cristo, en la dispensación del cumplimiento de los tiempos, así las que [están] en los cielos, como las que [están] en la tierra:

11 En él [digo], en quien asimismo tuvimos suerte, habiendo sido predestinados conforme al propósito del que hace todas las cosas según el consejo de su voluntad,

12 Para que seamos para alabanza de su gloria, nosotros que antes esperamos en Cristo.
