The Complete Jewish Bible CJB
New International Version NIV
4 But when the kindness and love for mankind of God our Deliverer was revealed,
4
But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared,
5 he delivered us. It was not on the ground of any righteous deeds we had done, but on the ground of his own mercy. He did it by means of the mikveh of rebirth and the renewal brought about by the Ruach HaKodesh,
5
he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit,
6 whom he poured out on us generously through Yeshua the Messiah, our Deliverer.
6
whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior,
7 He did it so that by his grace we might come to be considered righteous by God and become heirs, with the certain hope of eternal life.
7
so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life.
