Bible verse
But we should always thank God for you, brothers who are loved by the Lord, because God has chosen you from the beginning to be saved by the sanctification of the Spirit and by faith in the truth.
2 Thessalonians 2:13 · BSB
The verses around it, from 2 Thessalonians 2.
9 The coming of the lawless one will be accompanied by the working of Satan, with every kind of power, sign, and false wonder,
10 and with every wicked deception directed against those who are perishing, because they refused the love of the truth that would have saved them.
11 For this reason God will send them a powerful delusion so that they believe the lie,
12 in order that judgment may come upon all who have disbelieved the truth and delighted in wickedness.
13 But we should always thank God for you, brothers who are loved by the Lord, because God has chosen you from the beginning to be saved by the sanctification of the Spirit and by faith in the truth.
14 To this He called you through our gospel, so that you may share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
15 Therefore, brothers, stand firm and cling to the traditions we taught you, whether by speech or by letter.
16 Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who by grace has loved us and given us eternal comfort and good hope,
17 encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good word and deed.
