(As it is written, G1125 I have made G5087 you a father G3962 of many G4183 nations, G1484 ) before G2713 him whom G3739 he believed, G4100 even God, G2316 who G3588 vivifies G2227 the dead, G3498 and calls G2564 those G3588 things which be not as though they were.

Behold, H2005 I was shaped H2342 in iniquity; H5771 and in sin H2399 did my mother H517 conceive H3179 me.

Among G1722 whom G3739 also G2532 we all G3956 had our conversation G390 in times G4218 past in the lusts G1939 of our flesh, G4561 fulfilling G4160 the desires G2307 of the flesh G4561 and of the mind; G1271 and were by nature G5449 the children G5043 of wrath, G3709 even G2532 as others. G3062

And we know G1492 that all G3956 things work G4903 together G4903 for good G18 to them that love G25 God, G2316 to them who are the called G2822 according G2596 to his purpose. G4286

Moreover G1161 whom G3739 he did predestinate, G4309 them he also G2532 called: G2564 and whom G3739 he called, G2564 them he also G2532 justified: G1344 and whom G3739 he justified, G1344 them he also G2532 glorified. G1392

The LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 has sworn, H7650 saying, H559 Surely H518 H3808 as I have thought, H1819 so H3652 shall it come H1961 to pass; and as I have purposed, H3289 so H3651 shall it stand: H6965

This H2063 is the purpose H6098 that is purposed H3289 on the whole H3605 earth: H776 and this H2063 is the hand H3027 that is stretched H5186 out on all H3605 the nations. H1471

For the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 has purposed, H3289 and who H4310 shall cancel H6565 it? and his hand H3027 is stretched H5186 out, and who H4310 shall turn H7725 it back? H7725

The LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 has purposed H3289 it, to stain H2490 the pride H1347 of all H3605 glory, H6643 and to bring H7043 into contempt H7043 all H3605 the honorable H3513 of the earth. H776

Declaring H5046 the end H319 from the beginning, H7225 and from ancient H6924 times the things that are not yet done, H6213 saying, H559 My counsel H6098 shall stand, H6965 and I will do H6213 all H3605 my pleasure: H2656

Calling H7121 a ravenous H5861 bird H5861 from the east, H4217 the man H376 that executes my counsel H6098 from a far H4801 country: H776 yes, H637 I have spoken H1696 it, I will also H637 bring H935 it to pass; I have purposed H3335 it, I will also H637 do H6213 it.

And the land H776 shall tremble H7493 and sorrow: H2342 for every purpose H4284 of the LORD H3068 shall be performed H6965 against H5921 Babylon, H894 to make H7760 the land H776 of Babylon H894 a desolation H8047 without H369 an inhabitant. H3427

Having made G1107 known G1107 to us the mystery G3466 of his will, G2307 according G2596 to his good pleasure G2107 which G3739 he has purposed G4388 in himself: G848

In whom G3739 also G2532 we have G2192 obtained G2820 an inheritance, G2820 being predestinated G4309 according G2596 to the purpose G4286 of him who works G1754 all G3956 things after G2596 the counsel G1012 of his own G848 will: G2307

According G2596 to the eternal G165 purpose G4286 which G3739 he purposed G4160 in Christ G5547 Jesus G2424 our Lord: G2962

Who G3588 has saved G4982 us, and called G2564 us with an holy G40 calling, G2821 not according G2596 to our works, G2041 but according G2596 to his own G2398 purpose G4286 and grace, G5485 which G3588 was given G1325 us in Christ G5547 Jesus G2424 before G4253 the world G166 began,

Even G2532 so G3779 then G3767 at G1722 this G3588 present G3568 time G2540 also G2532 there is a remnant G3005 according G2596 to the election G1589 of grace. G5485

What G5101 then? G3767 Israel G2474 has not obtained G2013 that which G3739 he seeks G1934 for; but the election G1589 has obtained G2013 it, and the rest G3062 were blinded. G4456

According G2531 as he has chosen G1586 us in him before G4253 the foundation G2602 of the world, G2889 that we should be holy G40 and without G299 blame G299 before G2714 him in love: G26

Having predestinated G4309 us to the adoption G5206 of children G5206 by Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 to himself, G848 according G2596 to the good pleasure G2107 of his will, G2307

Knowing, G1492 brothers G80 beloved, G25 your G5216 election G1589 of God. G2316

Why G1352 the rather, G3123 brothers, G80 give diligence G4710 to make G4160 your G5216 calling G2821 and election G1589 sure: G949 for if you do G4160 these G5023 things, you shall never G3364 G4219 fall: G4417

And if G1487 by grace, G5485 then is it no G3765 more G2089 of works: G2041 otherwise G1893 grace G5485 is no G3765 more G2089 grace. G5485 But if G1487 it be of works, G2041 then it is no G3765 more G2089 grace: G5485 otherwise G1893 work G2041 is no G3765 more G2089 work. G2041

Not of works, G2041 lest G2443 G3361 any G5100 man should boast. G2744

Not by works G2041 of righteousness G1343 which G3739 we have done, G4160 but according G2596 to his mercy G1656 he saved G4982 us, by the washing G3067 of regeneration, G3824 and renewing G342 of the Holy G40 Ghost; G4151

And we know G1492 that all G3956 things work G4903 together G4903 for good G18 to them that love G25 God, G2316 to them who are the called G2822 according G2596 to his purpose. G4286

That you would walk G4043 worthy G516 of God, G2316 who G3588 has called G2564 you to his kingdom G932 and glory. G1391

But we are bound G3784 to give thanks G2168 always G104 to God G2316 for you, brothers G80 beloved G25 of the Lord, G2962 because G3754 God G2316 has from the beginning G746 chosen G138 you to salvation G4991 through G1722 sanctification G38 of the Spirit G4151 and belief G4102 of the truth: G225

Whereunto G1519 G3739 he called G2564 you by our gospel, G2098 to the obtaining G4047 of the glory G1391 of our Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ. G5547

But the God G2316 of all G3956 grace, G5485 who G3588 has called G2564 us to his eternal G166 glory G1391 by Christ G5547 Jesus, G2424 after that you have suffered G3958 a while, G3641 make G2675 you perfect, G2675 establish, G4741 strengthen, G4599 settle G2311 you.

These G3778 shall make G4170 war G4170 with the Lamb, G721 and the Lamb G721 shall overcome G3528 them: for he is Lord G2962 of lords, G2634 and King G935 of kings: G935 and they that are with him are called, G2822 and chosen, G1588 and faithful. G4103
