Ephesians 1:4-6 (NKJV)
4 just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy
and without blame before Him in love, 5 having predestined us to adoption as sons by
Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, 6 to the praise of the
glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved.
