International Standard Version
11 In the Messiah[a] we were also chosen when we were predestined according to the purpose of the one who does everything that he wills to do, 12 so that we who had already fixed our hope on the Messiah[b] might live for his praise and glory. 13 You, too, have heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed in the Messiah,[c] you were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is the guarantee of our inheritance until God redeems his own possession[d] for his praise and glory.
