Galatians 1:15-16

Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.

And now, saith the LORD that formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, Though Israel be not gathered, yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of the LORD, and my God shall be...

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name.

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,

God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,

Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,

But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:

And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.

As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.

By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:

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.

Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.

For the LORD will not forsake his people for his great name’s sake: because it hath pleased the LORD to make you his people.

But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.

According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:

In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so...

I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:

But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
