ESV Study Bible | English Standard Version

4 But [1] God, being r rich in mercy, s because of the great love with which he loved us,

7 so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable x riches of his grace in y kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

5 he saved us, e not because of works done by us in righteousness, but f according to his own mercy, by g the washing of regeneration and h renewal of the Holy Spirit,

4 Or do you presume on h the riches of his kindness and i forbearance and j patience, k not knowing that God's kindness is meant to lead you to repentance?
