The Servant of the Lord
“Behold! My Servant whom I uphold, My Elect One in whom My soul delights! I have put My Spirit upon Him; He will bring forth justice to the Gentiles.
-
For Jacob My servant’s sake, And Israel My elect, I have even called you by your name; I have named you, though you have not known Me.
-
I will bring forth descendants from Jacob, And from Judah an heir of My mountains; My elect shall inherit it, And My servants shall dwell there.
-
They shall not build and another inhabit; They shall not plant and another eat; For as the days of a tree, so shall be the days of My people, And My elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands.
-
And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened.
-
For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.
-
And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
-
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.
-
For false christs and false prophets will rise and show signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.
-
And then He will send His angels, and gather together His elect from the four winds, from the farthest part of earth to the farthest part of heaven.
-
And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them?
-
Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies.
-
(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 Him who calls),
-
Even so then, at this present time there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
-
What then? Israel has not obtained what it seeks; but the elect have obtained it, and the rest were blinded.
-
Concerning the gospel they are enemies for your sake, but concerning the election they are beloved for the sake of the fathers.
-
Character of the New Man
Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering;
-
knowing, beloved brethren, your election by God.
-
I charge you before God and the Lord Jesus Christ and the elect angels that you observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing with partiality.
-
Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
-
Greeting
Paul, a bondservant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s elect and the acknowledgment of the truth which accords with godliness,
-
Greeting to the Elect Pilgrims
Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, To the pilgrims of the Dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
-
elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, for obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace be multiplied.
-
Therefore it is also contained in the Scripture, “Behold, I lay in Zion A chief cornerstone, elect, precious, And he who believes on Him will by no means be put to shame.”
-
She who is in Babylon, elect together with you, greets you; and so does Mark my son.
