Ephesians 1:4 (NRSV) — 4 just as he chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world

to be holy and blameless before him in love.

 

Ephesians 1:4 (The Message) — 4 Long before he laid down earth’s foundations, he had us in mind, had settled on us as the focus of his love, to be made whole and holy by his love.

 

You are chosen! You are beloved! His strength resides within you!
