5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
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 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
6
whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior,
7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
7
so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life.
