Ephesians 1:4
Ephesians 1:4 (Free Bible Version, FBV)
just as he chose us to be in him before the beginning of this world, so that in love we could be holy and without fault before him.
Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes.
That is, in Christ, he chose us before the world was made so that we would be his holy people—people without blame before him.
just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him. In love
just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love,
For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love
According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
according as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, for our being holy and unblemished before Him, in love,
even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blemish before him in love:
even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and without defect before him in love,
according as He did choose us in him before the foundation of the world, for our being holy and unblemished before Him, in love,
just as [in His love] He chose us in Christ [actually selected us for Himself as His own] before the foundation of the world, so that we would be holy [that is, consecrated, set apart for Him, purpose-driven] and blameless in His sight. In love
Even as [in His love] He chose us [actually picked us out for Himself as His own] in Christ before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy (consecrated and set apart for Him) and blameless in His sight, even above reproach, before Him in love.
As hee hath chosen vs in him, before the foundation of the worlde, that we should be holy, and without blame before him in loue:
Before the creation of the world, he chose us through Christ to be holy and perfect in his presence.
For he chose us in him, before the foundation of the world, to be holy and blameless in love before him.
In Christ, he chose us before the world was made. He chose us in love to be his holy people—people who could stand before him without any fault.
Before God made the world, he chose us to be his people because of Christ. He chose us so that we would please him. Because we belong to Christ, God accepts us as completely good. This shows how much he loves us.
according as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
