'Purpose' in the Bible
Being conscious, my brothers, dear to God, that you have been marked out by God's purpose;
So that no man might be moved by these troubles; because you see that these things are part of God's purpose for us.
For the purpose of God for you is this: that you may be holy, and may keep yourselves from the desires of the flesh;
Because it is God's purpose that our way of life may be not unclean but holy.
For God's purpose for us is not wrath, but salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,
In everything give praise: for this is the purpose of God in Christ Jesus for you.
God, by whom you have been marked out in his purpose, is unchanging and will make it complete.
