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, ^5 (D)having predestined us to ^(E)adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, ^(F)according to the good pleasure of His will, ⁶ to the praise of the glory of His grace, ^(G)by which He ^[a]made us accepted in ^(H)the Beloved.

^7 (I)In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to ^(J)the riches of His grace

²¹ And you, ^(A)who once were alienated and enemies in your mind ^(B)by wicked works, yet now He has ^(C)reconciled ^22 (D)in the body of His flesh through death, ^(E)to present you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight— ²³ if indeed you continue ^(F)in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and are ^(G)not moved away from the hope of the gospel which you heard, ^(H)which was preached to every creature under heaven, ^(I)of which I, Paul, became a minister.

⁷ But if we ^(A)walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and ^(B)the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.

⁸ If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. ⁹ If we ^(C)confess our sins, He is ^(D)faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to ^(E)cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
