  60. Romans 5:15-17 “But not as the offence, so also is the free gift (charisma). For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace (charis) of God, and the gift (dorema) by grace (charis), which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift (dorema): for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift (charisma) is of many offences unto justification. For it by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace (charis) and of the gift (dorea) of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.”

  61. Romans 8:28-30 “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called (kletos) according to his purpose (prothesis). For whom he did foreknow (proginosko), he also did predestinate (proorizo) to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom he did predestinate (proorizo), them he called (kletos): and whom he called (kletos), them he also justified (dikaioo = to make or declare right): and whom he justified (dikaioo = to make or declare right), them he also glorified (doxazo = to glorify, honor).”

  62. Romans 8:31-34 “What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? Who shall lay anything to the charge of God’s elect (eklektos)? It is God that justifieth. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.”

  63. Romans 9:9-16 “For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sarah shall have a son. And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac; (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose (prothesis) of God according to election (ekloge) might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth (kaleo);) It was said unto her, the elder shall serve the younger. As it is written, Jacob have I loved (agapao), but Esau have I hated (miseo). What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid. For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. So then it is not of him that willeth (thelo), nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy. ”

  64. Romans 9:17-24 “For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose (prothesis) have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth. Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth. Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For whom hath resisted his will (boulema)? Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honor, and another unto dishonor? What if God, willing (thelo) to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction: And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared (proetoim) unto glory.”

  65. Romans 9:25-33 “As he saith also in O’see, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved. And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God. Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant (leimma) shall be saved: For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth. And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto Gomorrha. What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith. But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness. Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumbling stone; As it is written, Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and rock of offence: and whoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.”

  66. Romans 11:2, 5, 7, 28 “God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew (proginosko) Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? How he maketh intercession to God against Israel... Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant (leimma) according to the election (ekloge) of grace. What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election (ekloge) hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded. For this is my covenant (diatheke) unto them, when I shall take away their sins. As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election (ekloge), they are beloved for the father’s sakes. For the gifts (charisma) and calling (klesis) of God are without repentance (ametameletos = irrevocable).”

  67. Romans 13:1 “Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained (tasso) of God.”

  68. I Corinthians 1:27-28 “But God hath chosen (eklego) the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen (eklego) the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; And the base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen (klego), yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: That no flesh should glory in his presence.”

  69. I Corinthians 2:7-8 “But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained (proorizo) before the world unto our glory; Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.”

Ephesians 1:3-6 “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: According as he hath chosen (eklego) us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Having predestinated (proorizo) us unto the adoption (huiothesia) of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure (eudokia) of his will (thelma), To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted (charitoo) in the beloved (agapao).”

  76. Ephesians 1:7-10 “In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; Having made known unto us the mystery (musterion) of his will (thelma), according to his good pleasure (eudokia) which he hath purposed (prothithemia) in himself: Than in the dispensation (oikonomia) of fullness (pleroma) of times (kairos) he might gather together (anakephalaioo) in one (anakephalaiomai) all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:”

  77. Ephesians 1:11-14 “In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated (proorizo) according to the purpose (prothesis) of him who worketh all things (energeo) after the counsel (boule) of his own will (thelma): That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed (pisteuo = to adhere to, trust, rely on), ye were sealed (sphragizo = to seal, impress, security, permanency, ownership, destination) with the Holy Spirit of promise (epaggelia = legal term denoting a summons, to proclaim, announce, a promise, to give something). Which is the earnest (arrhabon = surety, pledge, earnest-money deposited by the purchaser) of our inheritance (kleroo = to allot, to assign, portion of an estate) until the redemption (apolutrosis = a loosing away, deliverance) of the purchased possession (peripoiesis = an obtaining, an acquisition), unto the praise of his glory.”

  80. Colossians 3:8-13 “But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all. Put on therefore, as the elect (eklektos) of God, holy (hagios = pure from evil conduct, separate, set a part) and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering: Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.”

For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant (diatheke) with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant (diatheke), and I regarded them not, saith the Lord. For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: And they shall not teach every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest. For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more. In that he saith, A new covenant (diatheke), he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.”
