For many are called, but few chosen.}\par
Wherefore, brethren, give the more diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never stumble:
These shall war against the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them, for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings; and they {\i also shall overcome} that are with him, called and chosen and faithful.
So the last shall be first, and the first last.}\par
And except those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect.
