Ephesians 1:12 in Context — Ephesians 1

10 para a administração do cumprimento dos tempos, [isto é,] voltar a reunir todas as coisas em Cristo, tanto as que [estão] nos céus, quanto as que [estão] na terra.

11 Nele também fomos feitos herança, havendo sido predestinados conforme o propósito daquele que faz todas as coisas segundo o conselho da sua vontade,

12 para que fôssemos para louvor da sua glória, nós os que primeiro esperamos em Cristo.

13 E também vós, depois que ouvistes a palavra da verdade, o evangelho da vossa salvação, e nele crestes, nele fostes selados com o Espírito Santo da promessa,

14 que é a garantia da nossa herança, até a libertação da propriedade [de Deus] , para louvor da sua glória.
