OET (OET-RV) It’s God that saved us and called us to live a godly life. His selection of us had nothing to do with anything good we might have done, but rather he has his own purposes and had given us grace via Yeshua the messiah even before time began.

ULT the one having saved us and having called us with a holy calling—not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, the grace having been given to us in Christ Jesus before eternal times,
UST He will do this because he saved us and called us to be a people that he sets apart as his own. God did not save us because of any good works that we did. Instead, he saved us because it was his plan to be kind to us even though we did not deserve it. He planned this for us before the world began through what Jesus the Messiah would do for us.
BSB He has saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works, but by His own purpose and by the grace He granted us in Christ Jesus before time began.[fn]

1:5-14 Paul gently but firmly summons Timothy to Rome (see also 4:9, 21; cp. 1 Tim 1:3-11, 12-17). Suffering seemed certain if Timothy remained faithful, and Paul wanted to strengthen Timothy’s resolve.
• The allusions to the Spirit in 2 Tim 1:6-7 and 1:14 form an inclusio (literary bookends) around this section.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
κλήσει ἁγίᾳ
˱with˲_/a/_calling holy
Here the phrase holy calling could refer to: (1) the result of being called, which is to be holy. Alternate translation: [to be holy people] (2) the way in which God called, which is a holy way. Alternate translation: [with a holy calling] “by means of a holy calling”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
οὐ κατὰ τὰ ἔργα ἡμῶν, ἀλλὰ κατὰ ἰδίαν πρόθεσιν καὶ χάριν, τὴν δοθεῖσαν ἡμῖν
not according_to the works ˱of˲_us but according_to /his/_own purpose and grace ¬which /having_been/_given ˱to˲_us
If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of works, purpose, or grace, you could express the same ideas in another way. Alternate translation: [not according to the things we do, but according to what he decided ahead of time and graciously did, which he did for us]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
τὴν δοθεῖσαν
¬which /having_been/_given
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who did the action, it is clear from the context that it was God. Alternate translation: [which God gave]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ πρὸ χρόνων αἰωνίων
in Christ Jesus before times eternal
Here Paul uses the spatial metaphor in Christ Jesus to describe the union of believers with Christ Jesus. In this case, being in Christ Jesus, or united to Christ, is the only way in which believers are given grace. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a phrase that indicates that the grace is given to believers as part of their union with Christ Jesus. Alternate translation: [before eternal times in union with Christ Jesus] or [before eternal times as part of being united to Christ Jesus]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
πρὸ χρόνων αἰωνίων
before times eternal
Here Paul is indicating that God did this before God made the world and before time began to be counted. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [before time began] or [before God made anything]
