For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: {it is} the gift of God:

But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, {love: or, pity}

Blessed {be} the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly {places} in Christ: {places: or, things}

Now to him that is of power to stablish 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,

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

For what glory {is it}, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer {for it}, ye take it patiently, this {is} acceptable with God. {acceptable: or, thank}

In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; {In: or, For}

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

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.

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

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

This {is} the purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth: and this {is} the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations.

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

(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 calleth;)

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.

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

I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.

Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;

But ye {are} a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: {peculiar: or, purchased} {praises: or, virtues}

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

Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) {by...: or, by whose grace}

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

All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh 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.

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.

The beast that thou sawest 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.

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

At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.

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

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

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

And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. {JESUS: that is, Saviour, Heb}

But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, {which is} our hope;

Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.

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

Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours;

For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate {to be} conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

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.

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

But ye {are} a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: {peculiar: or, purchased} {praises: or, virtues}

For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of {his} good pleasure.

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 Ghost;

According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that {pertain} unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: {to: or, by}

Not of works, lest any man should boast.

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

In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; {In: or, For}

But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle {you}.

Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;

Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.

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

I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, {of the Lord: or, in the Lord}

The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, {saying}, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee. {of...: Heb. from afar} {with lovingkindness...: have I extended lovingkindness unto thee}

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

And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it {shall be} for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err {therein}. {but...: or, for he shall be with them}

Faithful {is} he that calleth you, who also will do {it}.

(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 calleth;)

But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called {me} by his grace,

But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;

That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.

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

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.

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

But the mercy of the LORD {is} from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children;

Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,

And to make all {men} see what {is} the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:

But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, {even} the hidden {wisdom}, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:

God {is} faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, {and} called:

And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:

But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,

By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. {keep...: or, hold fast} {what: Gr. by what speech}

Speak not thou in thine heart, after that the LORD thy God hath cast them out from before thee, saying, For my righteousness the LORD hath brought me in to possess this land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD doth drive them out from before thee.

For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, {even} as many as the Lord our God shall call.

For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life.

Take with you words, and turn to the LORD: say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and receive {us} graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips. {receive...: or, give good}

Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:

I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:

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

Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called {to be} saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:

Not for your sakes do I {this}, saith the Lord GOD, be it known unto you: be ashamed and confounded for your own ways, O house of Israel.

Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God. {beloved...: or, beloved of God, your election}

Now to him that is of power to stablish 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,

I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely: for mine anger is turned away from him.

Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;

That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory.

For this {is} good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
