Beauty for Ashes

Him, you also, when you heard the word of truth, the good news of your salvation, and [as a result] believed in Him, were stamped with the seal of the promised Holy Spirit [the One promised by Christ] as owned and protected [by God]. The Spirit is the guarantee [the first installment, the pledge, a foretaste] of our inheritance until the redemption of God’s own [purchased] possession [His believers], to the praise of His glory. Don't be afraid, my daughter. (Eph 1:12-13 amp) I'll do for you everything that you have asked, since all of my people in town are aware that you're a virtuous woman. (Ruth 3:11 Nsv)
