Hosea’s Reconciliation With His Wife

3 The Lord said to me, “Go, show your love to your wife again, though she is loved by another man and is an adulteress.^(A) Love her as the Lord loves the Israelites, though they turn to other gods and love the sacred raisin cakes.^(B)”

²⁷ No, the Father himself loves you because you have loved me^(A) and have believed that I came from God.^(B)

⁹ God is faithful,^(A) who has called you^(B) into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.^(C)

¹¹ In him we were also chosen,^[a] having been predestined^(A) according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose^(B) of his will,

¹¹ according to his eternal purpose^(A) that he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord.
