Does your Bible say you are "accepted in the beloved"?

Mine does.

To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
- Eph 1:6

All the believing are accepted into the beloved. Notice the phrasing, "He made us accepted..." we did nothing to gain it, it was all of God.

No, mine says "..'he feely bestowed on us in the beloved. Go to Eph. 2:6 for the explaination.

Yes.
But only so because of the next verse:

"In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;"
Ephesians 1:7
