TSK · Romans 9:16

Go now to the flock, and fetch me from thence two good kids of the goats; and I will make them savory food for thy father, such as he loveth:

I am inquired of by them that asked not [for me] ; I am found of them that sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation that was not called by my name.

In that same hour he rejoiced in the Holy Spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou didst hide these things from the wise and understanding, and didst reveal them unto babes: yea, Father; for so it was well-pleasing in thy sight.

The wind bloweth where it will, and thou hearest the voice thereof, but knowest not whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

For behold your calling, brethren, that not many wise after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, [are called] :

for by grace have ye been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, [it is] the gift of God;

But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, for that God chose you from the beginning unto salvation in sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:

Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
