And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name JESUS, for He will save His people from their sins.

praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved.

For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you are saved),

For by grace you are saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God;

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the commandment of God our Savior and the Lord Jesus Christ, our hope,

But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared,

not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit,

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.

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

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

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, holy brethren, partakers of the Heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Christ Jesus,

but as He who called you is holy, you also become holy in all conduct,

because it is written, Be holy, because I am holy.

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;

For what praise is it if, when you are beaten for your faults, you endure it patiently? But when you do good and suffer, if you endure it patiently, this is favorable with God.

For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps:

Therefore by the deeds of the Law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for through the Law is the full true knowledge of sin.

(for the children not yet being born, nor having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works but of Him who calls),

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.

not of works, that no one should boast.

not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit,

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;

but because Jehovah loves you, and to keep the oath which He has sworn to your fathers, Jehovah has brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

This is the purpose that is purposed upon all the earth; and this is the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations.

For Jehovah of Hosts has purposed, and who shall annul it? And His hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?

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.

In that hour Jesus rejoiced in the Spirit and said, I praise 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 was pleasing in Your sight.

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.

having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself,

In Him also we have been assigned to an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will,

All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out.

And I give them eternal life, and they shall never ever perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.

My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one has the power to snatch them out of My Father's hand.

I pray for them. I do not pray for the world but for those whom You have given Me, for they are Yours.

Therefore let no one boast in men. For all things are yours:

whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas, or the world or life or death, or things present or things to come; all are yours.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenlies in Christ,

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.

Now to Him who is able to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery kept silent since the world began,

just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blemish before Him in love,

according to the eternal purpose which He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord,

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

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.
