'For Us' in the Bible

As he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, for us to be holy and blameless before him in love:

He predestined and lovingly planned for us to be adopted to Himself as [His own] children through Jesus Christ, in accordance with the kind intention and good pleasure of His will—

who has by his blood obtained for us the redemption, even the forgiveness of our sins, according to the riches of his grace,

which he abounded for us in all wisdom and intelligence.

for us to be to the praise of His glory, who previously had trusted in Christ;

and [so that you will begin to know] what the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of His [active, spiritual] power is in us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of His mighty strength

Among whom we all at one time were living in the pleasures of our flesh, giving way to the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and the punishment of God was waiting for us even as for the rest.

But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love that He had for us,

For we are His workmanship [His own master work, a work of art], created in Christ Jesus [reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, ready to be used] for good works, which God prepared [for us] beforehand [taking paths which He set], so that we would walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us].

and to know that His love for us surpasses [our] knowledge, so that you people will be completely filled with the fullness of God.

May there be to God, who is able to do infinitely more [for us] than we could [even] ask or think, according to [His] power at work in us ---

That we henceforth be no more children, wavering and carried with every wind of doctrine, by the wiliness of men and craftiness, whereby they lay a wait for us to deceive us.

Let no evil word proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good for useful edification, that it may afford benefit to those that hear.

And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.
