羅馬書 8:28
- 30
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters.
And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.
我們曉得萬事都互相效力，叫愛神的人得益處，就是按他旨意被召的人。
因為他預先所知道的人，就預先定下效法他兒子的模樣，使他兒子在許多弟兄中作長子。
預先所定下的人又召他們來；所召來的人又稱他們為義；所稱為義的人又叫他們得榮耀。
以弗所書 1:5

馬可福音 4:10
- 12
When he was alone, the Twelve and the others around him asked him about the parables.
He told them, "The secret of the kingdom of God has been given to you. But to those on the outside everything is said in parables
so that, " 'they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding; otherwise they might turn and be forgiven!' ote style="f" caller="+"> 4:12 Isaiah 6:9,10 "
無人的時候，跟隨耶穌的人和十二個門徒問他這比喻的意思。

叫他們看是看見，卻不曉得；聽是聽見，卻不明白；恐怕他們回轉過來，就得赦免。」

約翰福音 15:16
You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit-fruit that will last-and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you.
不是你們揀選了我，是我揀選了你們，並且分派你們去結果子，叫你們的果子常存，使你們奉我的名，無論向父求什麼，他就賜給你們。
哥林多前書 1:24
- 26
but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.
For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.
Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth.
但在那蒙召的，無論是猶太人、希利尼人，基督總為神的能力，神的智慧。
因神的愚拙總比人智慧，神的軟弱總比人強壯。
弟兄們哪，可見你們蒙召的，按著肉體有智慧的不多，有能力的不多，有尊貴的也不多。

in order that we, who were the first to put our hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory.

叫他的榮耀從我們這首先在基督裡有盼望的人可以得著稱讚。

he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ,

啟示錄 13:8
All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast-all whose names have not been written in the Lamb's book of life, the Lamb who was slain from the creation of the world.
凡住在地上、名字從創世以來沒有記在被殺之羔羊生命冊上的人，都要拜他。
