2 Thessalonians 2:10, 13, 14

and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.

But we ought always to thank God for you, brothers and sisters loved by the Lord, because God chose you as firstfruits to be saved through the sanctifying work of the Spirit and through belief in the truth.

He called you to this through our gospel, that you might share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
