2 Timothy 1:8-10

International Standard Version

⁹ He saved us
    and called us with a holy calling,
not according to our own accomplishments,
    but according to his own purpose and the grace
that was given to us in the Messiah^[a] Jesus
    before time began.^[b]
10 Now, however, that grace^[c] has been revealed
    through the coming of our Savior the Messiah^[d] Jesus,
who has destroyed death
    and through the gospel has brought life
        and release from death into full view.
