7 verses in the King James Version. Word study for “should” →
According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
Not of works, lest any man should boast.
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:
Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;
That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
