“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:”
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms in Christ — the opening of the great berakah (eulogētos, 'the blessed one') declares that all spiritual blessings (eulogiai pneumatikai) already belong to believers, not as future possession but as present reality in the heavenlies (en tois epouraniois), a realized eschatology rooted in Christ's ascension.
