| For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. | For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline. |
| Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began. | He has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time. |
