American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
having foreordained us unto adoption as sons through Jesus Christ unto himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
For ye received not the spirit of bondage again unto fear; but ye received the spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
that which we have seen and heard declare we unto you also, that ye also may have fellowship with us: yea, and our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ:
and these things we write, that {Many ancient authorities read your.}our joy may be made full.
