The World English Bible (WEB): Ephesians
Book 49 Ephesians 001:001 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, to the saints who are at Ephesus, and the faithful in Christ Jesus: 001:002 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 001:003 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ; 001:004 even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and without blemish before him in love; 001:005 having predestined us for adoption as children through Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his desire, 001:006 to the praise of the glory of his grace, by which he freely bestowed favor on us in the Beloved, 001:007 in whom we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, 001:008 which he made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence, 001:009 making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in him 001:010 to an administration of the fullness of the times, to sum up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens, and the things on the earth, in him;
WILLIS FORD'S NEW FRIENDS
When Harry Decker left the office at the end of two weeks, Grant was
fully able to take his place, having, with Harry's friendly
assistance, completely mastered the usual routine of a broker's
office. He had also learned the names and offices of prominent
operators, and was, in all respects, qualified to be of service to
his employer.
Mr. Reynolds always treated him with friendly consideration, and
appeared to have perfect confidence in him. For some reason which he
could not understand, however, Willis Ford was far from cordial,
often addressing him in a fault-finding tone, which at first
disturbed Grant. When he found that it arose from Ford's dislike, he
ceased to trouble himself about it, though it annoyed him. He had
discovered Ford's relationship to Mrs. Estabrook, who treated him in
the same cool manner.
"As it appears I can't please them," Grant said to himself, "I won't
make any special effort to do so." He contented himself with doing
his work faithfully, and so satisfying his own conscience.
