For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.

God didn’t choose us to receive his anger. He chose us to receive salvation because of what our Lord Jesus Christ has done.

For God has not destined us for wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

For God chose to save us through our Lord Jesus Christ, not to pour out his anger on us.

For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

For God has not destined us for wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

For God appointed us not unto wrath, but unto the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

For God did not destine us for wrath but for gaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.

and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead: Jesus, who delivers us from the wrath to come.

What then? That which Israel seeks for, that he didn’t obtain, but the chosen ones obtained it, and the rest were hardened.

to take part in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas fell away, that he might go to his own place.”

that no one would be moved by these afflictions. For you know that we are appointed to this task.

although I used to be a blasphemer, a persecutor, and insolent. However, I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.

As the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of God. As many as were appointed to eternal life believed.

For being not yet born, neither having done anything good or bad, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him who calls,it was said to her,“ The elder will serve the younger.”Even as it is written,“ Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? May it never be!For he said to Moses,“ I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who has mercy.For the Scripture says to Pharaoh,“ For this very purpose I caused you to be raised up, that I might show in you my power, and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.”So then, he has mercy on whom he desires, and he hardens whom he desires.You will say then to me,“ Why does he still find fault? For who withstands his will?”But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed ask him who formed it,“ Why did you make me like this?”Or hasn’t the potter a right over the clay, from the same lump to make one part a vessel for honor, and another for dishonor?What if God, willing to show his wrath and to make his power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction,and that he might make known the riches of his glory on vessels of mercy, which he prepared beforehand for glory,

Therefore I endure all things for the chosen ones’ sake, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

For it is written in the book of Psalms,‘ Let his habitation be made desolate. Let no one dwell in it;’ and,‘ Let another take his office.’

However, for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first, Jesus Christ might display all his patience for an example of those who were going to believe in him for eternal life.

In the past, you were not a people, but now are God’s people, who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

but indeed for this cause I have made you stand: to show you my power, and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth,

“‘ The Lord Yahweh says:“ It will happen in that day that things will come into your mind, and you will devise an evil plan.You will say,‘ I will go up to the land of unwalled villages. I will go to those who are at rest, who dwell securely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,to take the plunder and to take prey; to turn your hand against the waste places that are inhabited, and against the people who are gathered out of the nations, who have gotten livestock and goods, who dwell in the middle of the earth.’Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions of it, will ask you,‘ Have you come to take the plunder? Have you assembled your company to take the prey, to carry away silver and gold, to take away livestock and goods, to take great plunder?’”’“ Therefore, son of man, prophesy, and tell Gog,‘ The Lord Yahweh says:“ In that day when my people Israel dwells securely, will you not know it?You will come from your place out of the uttermost parts of the north, you, and many peoples with you, all of them riding on horses, a great company and a mighty army.You will come up against my people Israel, as a cloud to cover the land. It will happen in the latter days, that I will bring you against my land, that the nations may know me, when I am sanctified in you, Gog, before their eyes.”“‘ The Lord Yahweh says:“ Are you he of whom I spoke in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, who prophesied in those days for years that I would bring you against them?

Yahweh has made everything for its own end— yes, even the wicked for the day of evil.

The Son of Man goes, even as it is written of him, but woe to that man through whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better for that man if he had not been born.”

Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained a like precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ:

For as you in time past were disobedient to God, but now have obtained mercy by their disobedience,

and,“ a stumbling stone and a rock of offense.” For they stumble at the word, being disobedient, to which also they were appointed.

For there are certain men who crept in secretly, even those who were long ago written about for this condemnation: ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into indecency, and denying our only Master, God, and Lord, Jesus Christ.

In covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words: whose sentence now from of old doesn’t linger, and their destruction will not slumber.

However God’s firm foundation stands, having this seal,“ The Lord knows those who are his,” and,“ Let every one who names the name of the Lord depart from unrighteousness.”Now in a large house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of clay. Some are for honor, and some for dishonor.

But we are bound to always give thanks to God for you, brothers loved by the Lord, because God chose you from the beginning for salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief in the truth,to which he called you through our Good News, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
