¹⁴ For many are ^[a](A)called, but few are ^(B)chosen.”

²⁰ The one sown with seed on the rocky places, this is the one who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy;

²¹ yet he has no firm root in himself, but is only temporary, and when affliction or persecution occurs because of the ^[a]word, immediately he ^[b](A)falls away.

⁴ For it is ^(A)impossible, in the case of those who have once been ^(B)enlightened and have tasted of ^(C)the heavenly gift and have been made ^(D)partakers of the Holy Spirit,

⁵ and ^(A)have tasted the good ^(B)word of God and the powers of ^(C)the age to come,

⁴⁴ No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me ^(A)draws him; and I will ^(B)raise him up on the last day.

⁴⁵ It is written ^(A)in the Prophets: ‘^(B)And they shall all be ^(C)taught of God.’ Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father, comes to Me.

⁶⁵ And He was saying, “For this reason I have ^(A)told you that no one can come to Me unless ^(B)it has been granted him from the Father.”

²⁴ As for you, see that what you heard ^(A)from the beginning remains in you. If what you heard from the beginning remains in you, you also ^(B)will remain in the Son and in the Father.

The Promise Is Eternal Life
