But because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the LORD brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
But it was because the LORD loved you, and because he wanted to keep the promise he had made to your ancestors, that the LORD brought you out with his powerful strength, and rescued you from slavery, from the control of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
God rescued Israel from slavery in Egypt not because they deserved it, but simply because he loved them and wanted to keep his promise to their ancestors.
