Deuteronomy 7:6-8
New King James Version
6 “For you are a [a]holy people to the Lord your God; (A)the Lord your God has chosen you to be a people for Himself, a special treasure above all the peoples on the face of the earth. 7 The Lord did not set His (B)love on you nor choose you because you were more in number than any other people, for you were (C)the least of all peoples; 8 but (D)because the Lord loves you, and because He would keep (E)the oath which He swore to your fathers, (F)the Lord has brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you from the house of [b]bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

Psalm 105:6
New King James Version
6 O seed of Abraham His servant,
You children of Jacob, His chosen ones!
Isaiah 43:4-10
New King James Version
4 Since you were precious in My sight,
You have been honored,
And I have (A)loved you;
Therefore I will give men for you,
And people for your life.
5 (B)Fear not, for I am with you;
I will bring your descendants from the east,
And (C)gather you from the west;
6 I will say to the (D)north, ‘Give them up!’
And to the south, ‘Do not keep them back!’
Bring My sons from afar,
And My daughters from the ends of the earth—
7 Everyone who is (E)called by My name,
Whom (F)I have created for My glory;
I have formed him, yes, I have made him.”
8 (G)Bring out the blind people who have eyes,
And the (H)deaf who have ears.
9 Let all the nations be gathered together,
And let the people be assembled.
(I)Who among them can declare this,
And show us former things?
Let them bring out their witnesses, that they may be justified;
Or let them hear and say, “It is truth.”
10 “You(J) are My witnesses,” says the Lord,
(K)“And My servant whom I have chosen,
That you may know and (L)believe Me,
And understand that I am He.
Before Me there was no God formed,
Nor shall there be after Me.
