⁴ just as ^(A)He chose us in Him before ^(B)the foundation of the world, that we would be ^(C)holy and blameless before ^[a]Him. ^(D)In love ^5 [b]He ^(E)predestined us to ^(F)adoption as sons and daughters through Jesus Christ to Himself, ^(G)according to the good pleasure of His will, ^6 (H)to the praise of the glory of His grace, with which He favored us in ^(I)the Beloved.

²³ Now ^(A)may the God of peace ^(B)Himself sanctify you entirely; and may your ^(C)spirit and soul and body be kept complete, ^(D)without blame at ^(E)the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. ^24 (F)Faithful is He who ^(G)calls you, and He also will do it.

²⁵ Therefore He is also able to ^(A)save ^[a]forever those who ^(B)come to God through Him, since He always lives to ^(C)make intercession for them.

This Is Written That You May Know

^13 (A)These things I have written to you who ^(B)believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have ^(C)eternal life.

^24 (A)Now to Him who is able to protect you from stumbling, and to ^(B)make you stand in the presence of His glory, blameless with ^(C)great joy, ²⁵ to the ^(D)only ^(E)God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, ^(F)be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority ^(G)before all time and now and ^[a]forever. Amen.
