'Chosen' in the Bible

Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ:To the temporary residents dispersed in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, chosen

Coming to Him, a living stone—rejected by men but chosen and valuable to God—

For it is contained in Scripture:Look! I lay a stone in Zion,a chosen and honored cornerstone,and the one who believes in Himwill never be put to shame!

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood,a holy nation, a people for His possession,so that you may proclaim the praisesof the One who called you out of darknessinto His marvelous light.

The church in Babylon, also chosen, sends you greetings, as does Mark, my son.
