‏ 2 Timothy 1:9-10

9 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.”} 10 but now made visible through the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus. He ^{▼▼tn Grk “having broken…and having brought…” (describing Christ). Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here (and at the beginning of v. 11) in the translation.} has broken the power of death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel!
