For you are a holy people unto Jehovah your God; Jehovah your God has chosen you to be a people for Himself, a special treasure out of all the peoples upon the face of the earth.

Jehovah did not set His love upon you nor choose you because you were more in number than any other people, for you were the least of all peoples;

For YAH has chosen Jacob unto Himself, Israel for His valued treasure.

But you, Israel, are My servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham, My friend;

whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and called you and set you apart. And I said to you, You are My servant; I have chosen you, and not cast you away.

Behold My Servant, whom I uphold; My Elect, in whom My soul delights. I have put My Spirit upon Him; He shall bring forth justice to the nations.

Thus says Jehovah, As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one says, Do not destroy it, for a blessing is in it; so I will do to My servants, that I may not destroy them all.

And Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, and the Valley of Achor a place for herds to lie down, for My people who have sought Me.

At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank You, Father, Lord of Heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent, and have revealed them to babes.

Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight.

And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be kept safe alive; but for the elect's sake those days will be shortened.

For false christs and false prophets will arise and show great signs and wonders to lead astray, if possible, even the elect.

And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

And other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must lead, and they will hear My voice; and there will be one flock and one Shepherd.

Now when the Gentiles heard this, they rejoiced and glorified the Word of the Lord. And as many as had been appointed unto eternal life believed.

for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you; for I have many people in this city.

And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.

Who shall bring a charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies.

and that He might make known the riches of His glory on vessels of mercy, which He had prepared beforehand unto glory,

whom He also called, not only of us Jews, but also of the Gentiles?

Even so then, at this present time there is a remnant according to the election of grace.

And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace no longer becomes grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.

But we owe thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God from the beginning chose you for salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief in the truth,

to which He called you through our gospel, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

Paul, a bondservant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's elect and full true knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness,

in hope of eternal life which God, who is without lie, promised before the beginning of time,

Listen, my beloved brethren: Has God not chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which He promised to those who love Him?

elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace be multiplied.

But you are an elect race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people of His possession, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;

Then the King will say to those on His right hand, Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which You gave Me; for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.

Known to God from eternity are all His works.

He indeed was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you

And all who dwell on the earth will do homage to him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

The beast that you saw was, and is not, and is about to ascend out of the bottomless pit and go to destruction. And those who dwell on the earth will marvel, whose names are not written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world, when they see the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.

For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

To grant us that we, being delivered from the hand of our enemies, might serve Him without fear,

in holiness and righteousness before Him all the days of our life.

You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you.

And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.

Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering;

For God did not call us to impurity, but in sanctification.

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 the beginning of time,

Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands firm, having this seal: The Lord knows those who are His, and, Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men,

teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live with sound mind, righteously, and godly in the present age,

But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, supply with your faith virtue, with virtue knowledge,

with godliness brotherly affection, and with brotherly affection love.

For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his sins of the past.

that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish.

who will also confirm you to the end, that you may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

that you may be blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world,

in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, and without blemish, and above reproach in His sight;

Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, spotless and without blemish;

that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love,

with all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love,

but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head, Christ,

from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every individual does its part, causes growth of the body for the building up of itself in love.

And walk in love, as Christ also loved us and gave Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma.

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but faith working through love.

For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faith,

that their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, and attaining to all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the full true knowledge of the mystery of God, both of the Father and of Christ,

And may the Lord make you increase and abound in love to one another and to all, just as we do to you,

And we have known and believed the love that God has in us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.
