4 Even as he made selection of us in him from the first, so that we might be holy and free from all evil before him in love:

5 As we were designed before by him for the position of sons to himself, through Jesus Christ, in the good pleasure of his purpose,

6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, which he freely gave to us in the Loved One:

7 In whom we have salvation through his blood, the forgiveness of our sins, through the wealth of his grace,

8 Which he gave us in full measure in all wisdom and care;

9 Having made clear to us the secret of his purpose, in agreement with the design which he had in mind, to put into his hands

10 The ordering of the times when they are complete, so that all things might come to a head in Christ, the things in heaven and the things on the earth; in him, I say,

4 nõnda nagu Ta meid on valinud Tema sees enne maailma rajamist olema pühad ja laitmatud Tema ees armastuses,

5 meid ette ära määrates lapseõiguse osalisiks Jeesuse Kristuse kaudu Enese juurde Oma tahtmise heaksarvamisel,

6 Oma armu au kiituseks, mille Ta meile on kinkinud selles Armsas,

7 Kelles meil on lunastus Tema vere läbi, üleastumiste andekssaamine Tema armu rikkust mööda.

8 Seda armu on Ta rohkesti välja valanud meie üle kõige tarkuse ja mõistusega,

9 kui Ta meile tegi teatavaks Oma tahtmise saladuse Oma hea meele kohaselt, nõnda nagu Ta seda Eneses oli kavatsenud,

10 aegade täiuse korraldamiseks, et Kristuses kokku võetaks kõik, mis on taevas ja mis on maa peal,
