The concept of the "elect" is discussed in Romans 8, particularly in the context of God's foreknowledge, predestination, and love for His people. Here are the relevant passages from Romans 8 in the King James Version (KJV): | |||
Romans 8:28-33 | |||
28 "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." | |||
29 "For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren." | |||
30 "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." | |||
31 "What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?" | |||
32 "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?" | |||
33 "Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth." | |||
