²² And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; ^(A)but for the ^[a]elect’s sake those days will be shortened.

²⁰ And unless the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake, whom He chose, He shortened the days.

¹⁰ Therefore ^(A)I endure all things for the sake of the ^[a]elect, ^(B)that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

^31 (A)And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His ^[a]elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

²⁴ For ^(A)false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, ^(B)if possible, even the elect.

¹¹ (for the children not yet being born, nor having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works but of ^(A)Him who calls),

^14 (A)“For many are called, but few are chosen.”

⁸ Thus says the Lord:

⁷ And ^(A)shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them?
