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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

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”
