28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, who are the called according to purpose.29 Because whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be of similar nature of the form of his Son, in order for him to be the firstborn son among many brothers.30 And whom he predestined, these he also called, and whom he called, these he also made righteous, and whom he made righteous, these he also glorified.

18 having the eyes of your heart enlightened. For you to know what is the hope of his calling, and what is the wealth of the glory of his inheritance in the sanctified.19 And what is the transcending greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of the dominion of his might,

8 Be not ashamed therefore of the testimony of our Lord nor of me his prisoner, but suffer together with the good-news according to the power of God.9 Who saved us and who called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before times eternal.10 But which has now been manifested by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who indeed abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light through the good-news,

10 And may the God of all grace who called you to his eternal glory in Christ Jesus (after suffering a little while) himself thoroughly prepare you. He will establish, strengthen, and provide a foundation.

5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee, and before thou came forth out of the womb I sanctified thee. I have appointed thee a prophet to the nations.

44 No man can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up in the last day.

26 For notice your calling, brothers, that not many are wise according to flesh, not many powerful, not many eminent.27 But God chose the foolish things of the world, so that he might humiliate the wise, and God chose the weak things of the world, so that he might humiliate the powerful.

5 Listen, my beloved brothers, did not God choose the poor of the world, rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom, which he promised to those who love him?

13 Who rescued us out of the power of darkness, and transferred us into the kingdom of the Son of his love,14 in whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins,

38 And Peter said to them, Repent ye, and be immersed each of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.39 For the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all those in afar, as many as Lord our God may call.

10 Therefore, brothers, instead be diligent to make your calling and selection sure, for doing these things, ye would, no, not ever stumble.11 For so the entrance will be furnished to you abundantly into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

6 Being confident of this same thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Christ Jesus.

14 For many are called, but few chosen.
