以弗所書 1:4-6
[4] 就如上帝從創立世界以前，在基督裏揀選了我們，使我們在他面前成為聖潔，無有瑕疵； [5] 又因愛我們，就按着自己的意旨所喜悅的，預定我們藉着耶穌基督得兒子的名分， [6] 使他榮耀的恩典得着稱讚；這恩典是他在愛子裏所賜給我們的。
Ephesians 1:4-6
[4] Before God made the world, he chose us to be his people because of Christ. He chose us so that we would please him. Because we belong to Christ, God accepts us as completely good. This shows how much he loves us. [5] Long ago, he already decided to accept us into his family as his children, because of Jesus Christ. He chose us to belong to him because it made him very happy. [6] As a result, we praise him, because he is great and he has been so kind to us. He has given us so much because of his Son, whom he loves very much.
