Bible: Ephesians 1:11-12
1:11 In Christ 1 we too have been claimed as God’s own possession, 2 since we were predestined according to the one purpose of him who accomplishes all things according to the counsel of his will 1:12 so that we, who were the first to set our hope 3 on Christ, 4 would be to the praise of his glory.
