| "Yet to this day the Lord has not given you a heart to know, nor eyes to see, nor ears to hear." (God speaking) "Render the hearts of this people insensitive, their ears dull, and their eyes dim, otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts, and return and be healed." "The Lord of hosts has sworn saying, 'Surely, just as I have intended so it has happened, and just as I have planned so it will stand." (Jesus speaking) "I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent and have revealed them to infants. Yes, Father, for this way was well pleasing in Your sight." "To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been granted." (disciples) "who can be saved?" (Jesus) "With people this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." "No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son wills to reveal Him." "This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent." "No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him." "No one can come to Me unless it has been granted him from the Father." "But you do not believe because you are not of My sheep." (speaking of Isaiah 6:10) "For this reason they could not believe." "You did not choose Me but I chose you." "As many as had been appointed to eternal life believed." "What if God, although willing to demonstrate His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction? And He did so to make known the riches of His glory upon vessels of mercy, which He prepared beforehand for glory." "And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God." "for they ["those who disbelieve" - verse 7] stumble because they are disobedient to the word, and to this doom they were also appointed." "those who were long beforehand marked out for this condemnation." |
