⁴ just as ^(A)He chose us in Him ^(B)before the foundation of the world, that we should ^(C)be holy and without blame before Him in love,

^9 (A)having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure ^(B)which He purposed in Himself,

^11 (A)In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to ^(B)the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will,

³⁰ Moreover whom He predestined, these He also ^(A)called; whom He called, these He also ^(B)justified; and whom He justified, these He also ^(C)glorified.

⁹ who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, ^(A)not according to our works, but ^(B)according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus ^(C)before time began,

⁹ For ^(A)God did not appoint us to wrath, ^(B)but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

¹³ As it is written, ^(A)“Jacob I have loved, but Esau I have hated.”

¹⁶ So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy.

^5 (A)even when we were dead in trespasses, ^(B)made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),

¹² that at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world.
