Matthew 11:26

¹¹according to the eternal purpose which he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord.

⁹who saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before times eternal,

¹⁰I declare the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done. I say: My counsel will stand, and I will do all that I please.

¹³Why do you strive against him, because he doesn’t give account of any of his matters?

⁹making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in him

³³Oh the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past tracing out! ³⁴“For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?”³⁵“Or who has first given to him, and it will be repaid to him again?”

³⁶For of him and through him and to him are all things. To him be the glory for ever! Amen.

¹¹We were also assigned an inheritance in him, having been foreordained according to the purpose of him who does all things after the counsel of his will,

²¹In that same hour, Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit, and said, “I thank you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in your sight.”

¹⁸So then, he has mercy on whom he desires, and he hardens whom he desires.
