'U'nconditional Election

1.) Ephesians 1:4
even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love 5he predestined us[a] for adoption through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, 6to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved

2.) 2 Timothy 1:9
9who saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works but because of his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began\

3.) Revelation 13:8, 17:8
and all who dwell on earth will worship it, everyone whose name has not been written before the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb that was slain.
17:8The beast that you saw was, and is not, and is about to rise from the bottomless pit and go to destruction. And the dwellers on earth whose names have not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world will marvel to see the beast, because it was and is not and is to come

4.) 2 Thessalonians 2:13-14
But we ought always to give thanks to God for you, brothers beloved by the Lord, because God chose you as the firstfruits(some manuscripts say ‘from the beginning) to be saved, through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth. 14To this he called you through our gospel, so that you may obtain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

5.) 2 Timothy 2:10
Therefore I endure everything for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory

6.) Romans 9…all of it-read all of Romans for that matter..or just read the whole Bible

7.) John 6:32
32Jesus then said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven

8.) John 6:64-65
64But there are some of you who do not believe." (For Jesus knew from the beginning who those were who did not believe, and who it was who would betray him.) 65And he said, "This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by the Father."

9.) 1 Thessalonians 1:4
For we know, brothers (In New Testament usage, depending on the context, adelphoi may refer either to men or to both men and women who are siblings brothers and sisters in God's family; doctrine of adoption) loved by God, that he has chosen you
