Moreover

Now we know that for those who love God all things are working together for good--for those, I mean, whom with deliberate purpose He has called.

among whom you also, called, as you have been, to belong to Jesus Christ, are numbered:

in order to make known His infinite goodness towards the subjects of His mercy whom He has prepared beforehand for glory,

To the Church of God in Corinth, men and women consecrated in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all in every place who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ-- their Lord as well as ours.

There is but one body and but one Spirit, as also when you were called you had one and the same hope held out to you.

And because of this He is the negotiator of a new Covenant, in order that, since a life has been given in atonement for the offences committed under the first Covenant, those who have been called may receive the eternal inheritance which has been promised to them.

But you are a chosen race, a priesthood of kingly lineage, a holy nation, a people belonging specially to God, that you may make known the perfections of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvellous light.

For this reason, brethren, be all the more in earnest to make sure that God has called you and chosen you; for it is certain that so long as you practise these things, you will never stumble.

They will make war upon the Lamb, and the Lamb will triumph over them; for He is Lord of lords and King of kings. And those who accompany Him--called, as they are, and chosen, and faithful--shall share in the victory."

And he said to me, "Write as follows: 'Blessed are those who receive an invitation to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.'" And he added, still addressing me, "These are truly the words of God."

He justified

There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus;

But God gives proof of His love to us in Christ's dying for us while we were still sinners.

"In most solemn truth I tell you that he who listens to my teaching and believes Him who sent me, has the Life of the Ages, and does not come under judgement, but has passed over out of death into Life.

And this is the will of Him who sent me, that of all that He has given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it to life on the last day.

And the glory which Thou hast given me I have given them, that they may be one, just as we are one:

For this our light and transitory burden of suffering is achieving for us a preponderating, yes, a vastly preponderating, and eternal weight of glory;

raised us with Him from the dead, and enthroned us with Him in the heavenly realms as being in Christ Jesus,

When Christ appears--He is our true Life--then you also will appear with Him in glory.

and imploring you to live lives worthy of fellowship with God who is inviting you to share His own Kingship and glory.

when He comes on that day to be glorified in His people and to be wondered at among all who have believed, including you--because you believed the testimony which we brought for your acceptance.

And from us thanks are always due to God on your behalf--brethren whom the Lord loves--because God from the beginning has chosen you for salvation through the Spirit's sanctifying influence and your belief in the truth.

Faithful is the saying: "If we died with Him, we shall also live with Him;

not requiting evil with evil nor abuse with abuse, but, on the contrary, giving a blessing in return, because a blessing is what you have been called by God to inherit.

On the contrary, in the degree that you share in the sufferings of the Christ, rejoice, so that at the unveiling of His glory you may also rejoice with triumphant gladness.

And God, the giver of all grace, who has called you to share His eternal glory, through Christ, after you have suffered for a short time, will Himself make you perfect, firm, and strong.
