Who hath saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before the world began;

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Who verily was fore-ordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifested in these last times for you,

Father, I will that they also whom thou hast given to me be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory which thou hast given to me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.

And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

According as he hath chosen us in him, before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:

And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thy ownself, with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.
