Deus nos chamou
Deus nos chamou antes da fundação do mundo. Ele nos conhece pelo nome, nos predestinou para sermos conforme a imagem de Cristo e nos capacita para o chamado.
Chamados por Deus
Os que Deus predestinou, também os chamou. O Seu chamado é irrevogável — fundamentado no propósito eterno e na graça abundante.
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God-The Father, to them who are the called according to [his] purpose.
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.
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.
The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you2f may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
And what [is] the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward (in custody, with a guard; prison) who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,
Be not youi therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord - Kurios, nor of me his prisoner: but be youi partaker of the afflictions of the Gospel (joyful message) according to the power of God-The Father;
Who has saved us, and called [us] with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Moshiach [Messiah] Yeshua [God is Salvation] before the world began,
But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah], who has abolished death, and has brought life and immortality to light through the Gospel (joyful message):
But the God-The Father of all grace, who has called us unto his eternal glory by Moshiach [Messiah] Yeshua [God is Salvation], after that you2f have suffered a while, make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle [you].
Before I formed youi in the belly I knew youi; and before youi came forth out of the womb I sanctified youi, [and] I ordained youi a prophet unto the nations.
A resposta ao chamado
Ninguém pode vir a mim se o Pai não o atrair. Deus escolheu os fracos para confundir os fortes — e nos chamou para a luz.
No man can come to me, except the Father which has sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
For you2f see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, [are called]:
But God-The Father has chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God-The Father has chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
Listen, my beloved brethren, Has not God-The Father chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he has promised to them that love him?
Who has delivered us from the power of darkness, and has translated [us] into the kingdom of his dear Son:
In whom we have redemption through his blood, [even] the forgiveness of sins:
Then Kefa [pebble] said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah] for the forgiveness (pardon) of sins, and you2f shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit [Ruach HaKodesh].
For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, [even] as many as the Lord - Kurios our God-The Father shall call.
Confirmando o chamado
Procurai tornar cada vez mais firme a vossa vocação. Deus começou a boa obra e a completará até o dia de Cristo.
For what reason the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if you2f do these things, you2f shall never fall:
For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord - Kurios and Saviour Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah].
Being confident of this very thing, that he which has begun a good work in you will finish [it] until the day of Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah]:
"Many are called but few are chosen."
