28 We know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose.
29 Those he first recognized, he ordained in advance that they be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.
30 He ordained in advance the ones he called. He declared righteous the ones he called. He also glorified those he declared righteous.
5 »Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you. Before you were born, I set you apart for my holy purpose. I appointed you to be a prophet to the nations.«
10 Brothers, be more diligent to make your calling and election choosing sure. If you do practiceexerciseapply these things, you will never stumble!
11 For in this way the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be richly abundantly supplied to you.
38 Then Peter said: »Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
39 »The promise is to you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as Jehovah our God calls.« (Micah 4:5) (Deuteronomy 6:4)
6 I am confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ.
10 After you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will perfect, establish, and strengthen you.
44 »No man can come to me unless the Father, who sent me, draws him. I will resurrect him raise him up in the last day.
13 He rescued us from the power of darkness, and transferred us into the kingdom of the Son of his love the Son he dearly loves.
14 We have in him our redemption and the forgiveness of our sins.
26 Consider your calling, brothers. Not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called.
27 Instead God chose the foolish things of the world to confuse shame the wise. God chose the weak things of the world to confuse shame the things that are mighty.
18 Have the eyes of your heart enlightened, that you may know the hope of his calling, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the holy ones,
19 and what the exceeding greatness of his power is toward us who believe, according to the operation of his mighty strength.
5 Listen, my dearly beloved brothers! Did God choose poor people in the world to be rich in faith and to receive the kingdom he promised to those who love him?
8 Do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord or of me his prisoner. Join me in suffering for the good news according to the power of God.
9 God has saved us and called us with a holy calling. This is not according to our works, but according to his purpose and grace that was granted us in Christ Jesus, from all eternity.
10 The appearance of our Savior Christ Jesus revealed this. Jesus abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the good news.
14 »Many are called, but few chosen.«
