chosen to be holy

of the world, that we should be holy and without
blame before Him in love,"
Ephesians 1:4 NKJV
"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. "
Ephesians 1:4 AMP
"Even before he made the world, God loved us
and chose us in Christ to be holy and without
fault in his eyes."
Ephesians 1:4 NLT
