Even as [in His love] He chose us [actually picked us out for Himself as His own] in Christ before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy (consecrated and set apart for Him) and blameless in His sight, even above reproach, before Him in love. For He ordained us (designed us, planned in love for us) to be adopted (revealed) as His own children through Jesus Christ, in accordance with the purpose of His will [because it pleased Him and was His kind intent] – [So that we might be] to the praise and commendation of His glorious grace (favour and mercy), which He so freely bestowed on us in the Beloved, (Eph 1:4-6 AMP), thereby enabling us to ‘Freely worship God’ our Father in word and deed through Christ Jesus our Lord, whose name is above every name, under whose feet God has put all things and appointed Him head over the church, who makes everything complete, (Eph 1:23 AMP), even us, for now are we the sons of God. (1Joh 3:2 KJVLite). In Jesus’ name. Amen.
