'Choose' in the Bible

Jesus answered them, “Did I Myself not choose you, the twelve, and yet one of you is a devil?”

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

Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole church, to choose men from among them to send to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas—Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, leading men among the brethren,

But if I am to live on in the flesh, this will mean fruitful labor for me; and I do not know which to choose.

Listen, my beloved brethren: did not God choose the poor of this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which He promised to those who love Him?
