And because He has loved your fathers, therefore He chose their seed after them and brought you out of Egypt before Him with His mighty power,

Do not think in your heart, after Jehovah your God has cast them out before you, saying, Because of my righteousness Jehovah has brought me in to possess this land; but it is because of the wickedness of these nations that Jehovah is driving them out before you.

It is not because of your righteousness or the uprightness of your heart that you are going in to possess their land, but because of the wickedness of these nations that Jehovah your God is driving them out before you, and that He may fulfill the word which Jehovah has sworn to your fathers; to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Jehovah has longed for your fathers, to love them; and He chose their seed after them, you out of all peoples, as it is this day.

For Jehovah will not abandon His people, for His great name's sake, because Jehovah has undertaken to make you a people for Himself.

He also brought me out into a broad place; He delivered me because He delighted in me.

For they did not take the land into possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them; but it was Your right hand, and Your arm, and the light of Your face, because You favored them.

Since you were precious in My eyes, you have been honored, and I have loved you; therefore I will give men for you, and people for your life.

Jehovah has appeared to me from afar, saying, Yea, I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you.

Jehovah your God is mighty in your midst; He will save. He will rejoice over you with joy; He will quiet you in His love. He rejoices over you with joyful praise.

Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight.

but God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us,

even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you are saved),

But we owe thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God from the beginning chose you for salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief in the truth,

to which He called you through our gospel, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

For we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, led astray, enslaved to various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another.

not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit,

that being justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

We love Him because He first loved us.

and said: By Myself I have sworn, says Jehovah, because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only one;

And in your Seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.

Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, Your servants, to whom You swore by Your own self, and said to them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of the heavens; and all this land that I have spoken of I give to your seed, and they shall always possess it.

He remembers His covenant forever, the Word which He commanded, to a thousand generations,

and confirmed it unto Jacob for a statute, to Israel as a perpetual covenant,

as He spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his seed forever.

to perform mercy with our fathers and to remember His holy covenant,

the oath which He swore to our father Abraham:

For when God made a promise to Abraham, because He had no one greater to swear by, He swore by Himself,

And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.

Thus God, determining to show more abundantly to the heirs of promise the immutability of His counsel, pledged it by an oath,

But Jehovah has taken you and brought you out of the iron furnace, out of Egypt, to be His people, an inheritance, as you are this day.

Or has God ever tried to go and take for Himself a nation from the midst of another nation, by trials, by signs, by wonders, by war, by a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, and by great terrors, according to all that Jehovah your God has done for you in Egypt before your eyes?

And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, on the same day it came to pass, that all the armies of Jehovah went out from the land of Egypt.

It is a night of observance unto Jehovah for bringing them out of the land of Egypt. This is that night of Jehovah, an observance for all the children of Israel throughout their generations.

And Moses said to the people: Remember this day in which you went out of Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand Jehovah has brought you out from here. Nothing leavened shall be eaten.

And it shall be, when your son asks you in time to come, saying, What is this? that you shall say to him, By strength of hand Jehovah brought us out of Egypt, from the house of bondage.

I am Jehovah your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
