2Th 2 Thessalonians, chapter Second Epistle to the Thessalonians, chapter 2
God chose you in order that you should be saved and share in Christ’s glory.
2 Thessalonians 2:13-14
Our fellow believers, whom our Lord Jesus loves, we thank God very frequently for you. It is appropriate/right for us to do that, because God chose you ◄from the beginning [MTY] of creation/before the world existed► in order that he might save you as a result of your believing the true message and as a result of God’s Spirit setting you apart for God.
