“For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.”
For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. — The χρυσῆ ἅλυσις (chrysē halyis, "golden chain") begins: those whom God προγινώσκω (proginōskō, "foreknew") were also προορίζω (proorídzō, "predestined") toward conformity to the εἰκών (eikōn, "image") of God's Son. Jesus is πρωτότοκος (prōtotokos, "firstborn") among many ἀδελφοί (adelphoi, "brothers"). The teleology of election is the Christomorphic transformation of the many.
