4just as 1He chose us in Him before 2the foundation of the world, that we would be 3holy and blameless before 4Him. 5In love

56He 7predestined us to 8adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, 9according to the 10kind intention of His will,

611to the praise of the glory of His grace, which He freely bestowed on us in 12the Beloved.
