Two will be in the field. One will be taken, and one will be left. Two will grind at the mill. One will be taken, and one will be left.

I tell you, that on that night there will be two in one bed. One will be taken (learn) (be received) and the other will be left (omited) (forsaken). There will be two grinding together. One will be taken and the other will be left. There will be two men in the field. One will be taken and the other will be left.

From one person he made every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth. He determined their appointed seasons, and the bounds of their habitation.

We know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose. Those he first recognized, he ordained in advance that they be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. He ordained in advance the ones he called. He declared righteous the ones he called. He also glorified those he declared righteous.

You who are chosen and foreknown by God the Father. You have been sanctified by the Spirit to obey Jesus Christ and be sprinkled with his blood. Grace and peace be greatly increased to you.

Jesus was known before the foundation of the world. He was made known at the end times for your sake.

All the citizens of earth will worship him, all whose names have not been written in the Lamb's book of life who was slain from the foundation of the world.
