| For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. | For God did not give us a spirit of cowardice, but rather a spirit of power and of love and of 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. | Who saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works but according to his own purpose and grace. This grace was given to us in Christ Jesus before the ages began. |
