6“For ayou are a people holy to the Lord your God. The Lord your God has chosen you to be ba people for his treasured possession, out of all the peoples who are on the face of the earth. 7It was not because you were more in number than any other people that the Lord set his love on you and chose you, for you were the fewest of all peoples, 8but cit is because the Lord loves you and is keeping dthe oath that he swore to your fathers, that the Lord has brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you from the house of slavery, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.John 15:16
16You did not choose me, but eI chose you and appointed you that you should go and fbear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that gwhatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you.1 Peter 2:9
