God knew those people before he made the world. And God decided that those people would be like his Son (Jesus). Then Jesus would be the firstborn {\cf2\super [69]} of many brothers and sisters.
So all of you should think about Jesus. God sent Jesus to us, and he is the high priest {\cf2\super [15]} of our faith. I tell you to think about him, my brothers and sisters, because God chose you to be his holy {\cf2\super [16]} people.
