Deuteronomy 7:7
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,1 Corinthians 1:26-29
26For consider your calling, brothers: anot many of you were wise according to worldly standards, ▼▼Greek according to the flesh
not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. 27But cGod chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; dGod chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; 28God chose what is low and despised in the world, even ethings that are not, to fbring to nothing things that are, 29so gthat no human being ▼▼Greek no flesh
might boast in the presence of God. James 2:5
5Listen, my beloved brothers, ihas not God chosen those who are poor in the world to be jrich in faith and heirs of kthe kingdom, lwhich he has promised to those who love him?
