the Holy One of Israel—and He has chosen you.”

and by His hand, the Lord’s pleasure will be accomplished.

a work that you will never believe,
even if someone were to explain it to you.”

The one who keeps His commands remains in Him, and He in him. And the way we know that He remains in us is from the Spirit He has given us.
