John 3:16 For God so loved the
ELECT
{
world}, that he gave his only begotten Son, that {
whosoever believeth in him}
only the ELECT should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Galatians 1:6
I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto
another gospel:
7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you,
and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
8 But though we, or an angel from heaven,
preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
