28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to [His] purpose.29 For whom He foreknew, He also predestinated [to be] conformed to the image of His Son, for Him to be [the] First-born among many brothers.30 But whom He predestinated, these He also called; and whom He called, those He also justified. And whom He justified, these He also glorified.

18 the eyes of your understanding being enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of His calling, and what is the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,19 and what [is] the surpassing greatness of His power toward us, the ones believing according to the working of His mighty strength

8 Therefore you should not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor [of] me His prisoner. But be partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to [the] power of God,9 who has saved us and 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 the eternal times.10 But it is now having been manifested by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has made death of no effect, bringing life and immortality to light through the gospel;

10 But the God of all grace, He calling us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little, [He] will perfect, confirm, strengthen, and establish [you].

5 Before I formed you in the belly I knew you; and before you came forth out of the womb I consecrated you, [and] I ordained you a prophet to the nations.

44 No one can come to Me unless the Father who has sent Me draw him, and I will raise him up at the last day.

26 For you see your calling, brothers, that not many wise men according to the flesh [are called], not many mighty, not many noble.27 But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;

5 Listen, my beloved brothers, has not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which He has promised to those who love Him?

13 [For He] has delivered us from the power of darkness and has translated [us] into the kingdom of His dear Son;14 in whom we have redemption through His blood, the remission of sins.

38 Then Peter said to them, Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ to remission of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.39 For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all those afar off, as many as [the] Lord our God shall call.

10 Therefore, brothers, rather be diligent to make your calling and election sure, for [if you] do these things, you shall never fall.11 For so an entrance shall be ministered to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

6 being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will perform [it] until the day of Jesus Christ,

14 For many are called, but few chosen.
