'Selection' in the Bible

To the church of God which is in Corinth, to those who have been made holy in Christ Jesus, saints by the selection of God, with all those who in every place give honour to the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours:

But to those of God's selection, Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power and the wisdom of God.

But God made selection of the foolish things of this world so that he might put the wise to shame; and the feeble things that he might put to shame the strong;

And the low things of the world, and the things without honour, did God make selection of, yes, even the things which are not, so that he might make as nothing the things which are:

And when I come, I will send the men of your selection with letters to take the money you have got together to Jerusalem.
