Ephesians 1:4
Douay-Rheims
As he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and unspotted in his sight in charity.
John of Damascus
The grace of the Spirit is now indeed made manifest, whereas before hand and from the very beginning God has chosen His elect, whom He knew and that God foreordained to be, and to be given over to holiness.
