Ephesians 1:4-6

EasyEnglish Bible

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.
