(KJV)
Who hath saved us,
and called us with an holy calling,
not according to our works,
but according to his own purpose and grace,
which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,
(NASB2020)
who
asaved us and
bcalled us with a
holy ccalling,
dnot
according to our
works, but
according to His
own epurpose and
grace, which was
granted to us in
fChrist Jesus from
gall eternity,
He is the one who
saved us ▼▼tn More literally, “who saved us,” as a description of God in v.
8. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.
and called us with a
holy calling,
not based on ▼▼tn Or “according to,” or “by.”
our works but on his own purpose and grace,
granted to
us in Christ Jesus before time began,
▼▼tn Grk “before eternal times.”
