Matthew 22:14

14For many are acalled, but few are bchosen.”

1 Thessalonians 2:13

13And cwe also thank God constantly
Or without ceasing
for this, that when you received ethe word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it fnot as the word of men
The Greek word anthropoi can refer to both men and women
but as what it really is, the word of God, hwhich is at work in you believers.

James 1:23-25

23For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror. 24For he looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like. 25But the one who looks into the perfect law, ithe law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, jhe will be blessed in his doing.
