2 sFor you are a people tholy to the Lord your God, and the Lord has chosen you to be a people for his treasured possession, uout of all the peoples who are on the face of the earth.
12 qBlessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,
8 But you, Israel, hmy servant,
Jacob, whom I have ichosen,
the offspring of Abraham, jmy friend;
20 And if the Lord had not cut short the days, no human being would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, whom he chose, he shortened the days.
16 You did not choose me, but mI chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you.
4 feven as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be gholy and blameless before him. In love
12 zPut on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, acompassionate hearts, bkindness, chumility, dmeekness, and epatience,
10 Therefore I wendure everything xfor the sake of the yelect, that they also may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
10 Therefore, brothers,1 obe all the more diligent to pconfirm your calling and election, for if you practice these qualities you will never qfall.
14 They will make war on the qLamb, and the Lamb will conquer them, for he is rLord of lords and King of kings, and those with him are called and chosen and faithful.”
