even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and without defect before him in love,

18 Ina addu'a idanun zuciyarku su bude domin ku san tabacin kiranku. Ina addu'a dominku san arzikin mulkin gadonsa cikin wadanda aka kebe dominsa.
having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of his calling, and what are the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
