as he hath chosen us in him
before the foundation of the world,
that we should be holy and
without blame before him in
love:

purposed in himself:

the purpose of him who worketh all things after
the counsel of his own will:
Isaiah 14:24-
27 The LORD of hosts hath sworn, saying,
Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, [
so] shall it stand: ... For the LORD of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul [
it]? and
his hand [
is] stretched out, and who shall turn it back?
Isaiah 46:10-
11 Declaring
the end from the beginning, and from ancient times [
the things] that are not [
yet] done, saying,
My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure: ...
Calling a ravenous bird from the east,
the man that executeth my counsel from a far country: yea,
I have spoken [
it], I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed [
it], I will also do it.

the land shall tremble and sorrow: for
every purpose of the LORD shall be performed against Babylon, to make the land of Babylon a desolation without an inhabitant.

30 And
we know that all things work together for good to
them that love God, to them who are
the called according to [
his] purpose. ...
Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom
he called, them he also justified: and whom
he justified, them he also glorified.
Romans 9:11 (For
[the children] being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil,
that the purpose of God
according to election might stand,
not of works,
but of him that calleth;)
2 Timothy 1:9 Who
hath saved us, and
called [
us] with an holy calling,
not according to our works, but
according to his own purpose and grace,
which was given us in Christ Jesus
before the world began,
