And she shall bring forth a son, and you shall call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

Praising God, and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as were being saved.

For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us who are saved it is the power of God.

Even when we were dead in sins, has made us alive together with Christ, (by grace you are saved;)

For by grace are you 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, who is our hope;

But after the kindness and 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, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Spirit;

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

Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.

Even us, whom he has called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?

For God has not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.

But we are bound to give thanks always to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God has from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:

To which he called you by our gospel, to 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 profession, Christ Jesus;

But as he who has called you is holy, so be holy in all manner of conduct;

Because it is written, You will be holy; for I am holy.

But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own; that you should show forth the praises of him who has called you out of darkness into his marvelous light:

For what glory is it, if, when you be buffeted for your faults, you shall take it patiently? but if, when you do well, and suffer for it, you take it patiently, this is commendable with God.

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

Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

(For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calls;)

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

And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.

Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Spirit;

The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because you were more in number than any people; for you were the fewest of all people:

But because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, has the LORD 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 the whole earth: and this is the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations.

For the LORD 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, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hid these things from the wise and prudent, and have revealed them unto babes.

Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in your sight.

In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hid these things from the wise and prudent, and have revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in your sight.

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

Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he has purposed in himself:

In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who works all things after the counsel of his own will:

All that the Father gives me shall come to me; and he that comes to me I will in no wise cast out.

And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

My Father, who gave them to me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.

I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them that you have given me; for they are yours.

Therefore let no man glory 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 all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

Father, I will that they also, whom you have given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which you have given me: for you loved me before the foundation of the world.

Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world.

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, which was kept secret since the world began,

According as he has chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:

According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:

In hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before the ages began;

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

And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not 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 shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
