2 Thessalonians 2:13-14

13As for us, we can’t help but thank God for you, dear brothers and sisters loved by the Lord. We are always thankful that God chose you to be among the first to experience salvation—a salvation that came through the Spirit who makes you holy and through your belief in the truth.

14He called you to salvation when we told you the Good News; now you can share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
