just as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, [that] we should be holy and blameless before him in love,

[that] we who hoped beforehand in Christ should be for the praise of his glory,

[because you] know that each one of you, whatever good he should do, this he will receive back from the Lord, whether slave or free.
