2 Timothy 1:9-10
New King James Version (NKJV)

9 who has saved us and
called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His
own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began, 10 but has now been revealed by the appearing of our
Savior Jesus Christ, who has abolished death and brought life and immortality
to light through the gospel,
