30 and whom he foreordained, those he also called; and whom he called, those he also justified; and whom he justified, those he also glorified.
10 So, brothers, take diligent care to make your calling and election sure; for if you do this, you will never stumble.
11 For so the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ will be richly supplied to you.

10 But the God of all grace, who has called us by Christ Jesus to share his eternal glory, will, after you have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.
6 Of this I am fully persuaded, that He who has begun a good work in you will go on completing it until the day of Jesus Christ.
8 Do not then be ashamed to bear witness for our Lord, nor for me, his prisoner. Nay, join with me in suffering for the gospel by the power of God.
9 He has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not dealing with us according to our works,but according to his purpose and grace which he gave us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time.
10 This has now been made manifest through the appearing of our Saviour Christ Jesus, who has put an end to death, and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.
