John Calvin

The reprobate are blinded that they may not see, and hardened that they may not feel.

The will of God is the cause of all things, and there is no other cause.

The elect are chosen before the foundation of the world.

The reprobate are vessels of wrath fitted for destruction.

It is a horrible decree, I confess, but no one can deny that God foreknew what the end of man was to be before he created him, and that he foreknew it because he had so ordained it.

God works in the hearts of men to incline their wills as he pleases.

The reprobate are not only destitute of the Spirit, but are also given up to a reprobate mind.

God's purpose is immutable, and cannot be changed.

The elect are saved by God's free grace, without any merit of their own.

The reprobate are left to their own wickedness, and are justly punished for it.

The eternal counsel of God is the cause of election and reprobation.

God has decreed to save some and to destroy others, and this decree is just.

The reprobate are not able to believe, because God does not give them the gift of faith.

The elect are preserved by the power of God unto salvation.

The reprobate are not able to repent, because God does not give them the grace of repentance.
