20 We(inc) know that is true, because everything that God promised to do for his people, he has done completely by sending Christ to save us. That is why we say, "Yes, it is true! God has done everything that he promised to do!" And we praise him for that! 21 Now it is only God himself who causes us (exc), as well as you, to keep on believing strongly in Christ. God is the one who chose us (inc) to belong to him and to have a close relationship with Christ. 22 He also sent his Holy Spirit into our (inc) lives to mark us as belonging to himself [MET]. Also, since he has sent his Spirit to live in us (inc), he wants us to know by this that he guarantees [MET] to give us every other ◄blessing/good thing► that he has promised.
