KJV ORIGINAL

Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.

Close to the original. Clear modern English.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

You were chosen because God the Father knew you before you were even born, and the Holy Spirit has been making you holy so you could follow Jesus and be covered by his sacrifice. I'm praying that God's grace and peace just keep growing in your life.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

God picked you on purpose, and he's blessing you with more grace and peace than you can handle.

Because if we keep choosing to sin after we've learned the truth about God, there's no other sacrifice that can cover those sins.

But Jesus? He made one sacrifice for sins that covered everything, forever. Then he sat down at God's right hand — like, he's done, mission accomplished.

And it's not like Jesus had to keep sacrificing himself over and over again, the way the high priest had to go into the holy place every year carrying someone else's blood for the ritual.
