But some of you refuse to have faith in me." Jesus said this, because from the beginning he knew who would have faith in him. He also knew which one would betray him.
and he has always known who his chosen ones would be. He had decided to let them become like his own Son, so that his Son would be the first of many children.
But the foundation that God has laid is solid. On it is written, "The Lord knows who his people are. So everyone who worships the Lord must turn away from evil."
