30 Moreover, those whom he foreordained+ are the ones he also called;+ and those whom he called are the ones he also declared to be righteous.+ Finally those whom he declared righteous are the ones he also glorified.+

9 God is faithful,+ by whom YOU were called into a sharing+ with his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

14 I am pursuing down toward the goal+ for the prize*+ of the upward call+ of God by means of Christ Jesus.

12 to the end that YOU should go on walking+ worthily of God who is calling+ YOU to his kingdom+ and glory.

9 He saved+ us and called us with a holy calling,+ not by reason of our works,+ but by reason of his own purpose and undeserved kindness. This was given us in connection with Christ Jesus before times long lasting,*+

10 For this reason, brothers, all the more do YOUR utmost to make the calling+ and choosing+ of YOU sure for yourselves; for if YOU keep on doing these things YOU will by no means ever fail.+
