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,

² in hope of eternal life which God, who ^(A)cannot lie, promised before time began,

³ For we who have believed do enter that rest, as He has said:

although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
