[you] seed of Abraham, His servants, [you] children of Jacob, His elect.

And He brought out His people with exaltation, and His elect with joy;

For you are a holy people to the Lord your God; and the Lord your God chose you to be to Him a peculiar people beyond all nations that [are] upon the face of the earth.

You did not choose Me, but I chose you, and appointed you, that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, so that whatever you may ask the Father in My name He may give to you.

But the Lord said to him, "Go [your way], for he is a chosen vessel to Me to bear My name before Gentiles and kings, and the sons of Israel.

just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before Him in love,

But we are obligated to give thanks to God always for you, brothers beloved by the Lord, because God chose you from the beginning for salvation, through sanctification of the Spirit and belief in the truth,

Listen, my beloved brothers. Did God not choose the poor of the world [to be] rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which He promised to those that love Him?

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's [own] possession, that you may proclaim the excellent virtues of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;

These will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will conquer them, for He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with Him are called, and elect, and faithful."

Exalt and rejoice, you that dwell in Zion; for the Holy One of Israel is exalted in the midst of her.

and shall return, and come to Zion with joy, and everlasting joy [shall be] over their head; for on their head [shall be] praise and exaltation, and joy shall take possession of them; sorrow and pain, and groaning have fled away.

Rejoice, O Jerusalem, and all you that love her hold in her a general assembly; rejoice greatly with her, all that [now] mourn over her;

Rejoice then and be glad, you children of Zion, in the Lord your God; for He has given you food fully, and He will rain on you the early and the latter rain, as before.

Rejoice, O daughter of Zion; cry aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem; rejoice and delight yourself with all your heart, O daughter of Jerusalem.

Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; proclaim it aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem; behold, your King is coming to you, righteous, and [your] Savior; He is meek and riding on a donkey, a young foal of a donkey.

Therefore you also now have sorrow; but I will see you again and your heart will rejoice, and your joy no one will take from you.

For we are the [true] circumcision, worshipping by the Spirit of God, rejoicing in Christ Jesus, and having no confidence in the flesh,

the eyes of your heart having been enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,
