- O Jacob:
- "But thou,¹ Israel,ª [art] my servant,ª Jacobª whom¹ I have chosen,ª° the seedª of Abrahamª my friend.ª°" {Isa 41:8} + "But now¹ thus¹ saithª° the LORDª that createdª° thee, O Jacob,ª and he that formedª° thee, O Israel,ª Fearª° not:¹ for¹ I have redeemedª° thee, I have calledª° [thee] by thy name;ª thou¹ [art] mine." {Isa 43:1} + "And I will establishª°¹ my covenantª between¹ me and thee and thy seedª after¹ thee² in their generationsª for an everlastingª covenant,ª to be¹ a Godª unto thee, and to thy seedª after¹ thee.²" {Gen 17:7} + "For¹ thou¹ [art] an holyª peopleª unto the LORDª thy God:ª the LORDª thy Godª hath chosenª° thee to be¹ a specialª peopleª unto himself, above all¹¹ peopleª that¹ [are] upon¹ the faceª of the earth.ª ... But¹ because the LORDª lovedª¹ you, and because he would keepª°¹¹ the oathª which¹ he had swornª° unto your fathers,ª hath the LORDª brought you outª°¹ with a mightyª hand,ª and redeemedª° you out of the houseª¹ of bondmen,ª from the handª¹ of Pharaohª kingª of Egypt.ª" {Deu 7:6-8} + "O ye seedª of Abrahamª his servant,ª ye childrenª of Jacobª his chosen.ª" {Psa 105:6} + "For¹ he rememberedª°¹ his holyª promise,ª [and]¹ Abrahamª his servant.ª ... And he brought forthª° his peopleª with joy,ª [and]¹ his chosenª with gladness:ª" {Psa 105:42-43} + "Therefore fearª° thou¹ not,¹ O my servantª Jacob,ª saithª° the LORD;ª neither¹ be dismayed,ª° O Israel:ª for,¹ lo,¹ I will saveª° thee from afar,ª¹ and thy seedª from the landª¹ of their captivity;ª and Jacobª shall return,ª° and shall be in rest,ª° and be quiet,ª° and none¹ shall make [him] afraid.ª°" {Jer 30:10} + "But fearª° not¹ thou,¹ O my servantª Jacob,ª and be not¹ dismayed,ª° O Israel:ª for,¹ behold,¹ I will saveª° thee from afar off,ª¹ and thy seedª from the landª¹ of their captivity;ª and Jacobª shall return,ª° and be in restª° and at ease,ª° and none¹ shall make [him] afraid.ª° ... Fearª° thou¹ not,¹ O Jacobª my servant,ª saithª° the LORD:ª for¹ I¹ [am] with¹ thee; for¹ I will makeª° a full endª of all¹ the nationsª whither¹¹ I have drivenª° thee: but I will not¹ makeª° a full endª of thee, but correctª° thee in measure;ª yet will I not¹ leave thee whollyª° unpunished.ª°" {Jer 46:27-28} + "Even soª thenª atª this presentª timeª alsoª there isª° a remnantª accordingª to the electionª of grace.ª ... Andª ifª by grace,ª then [is it] no moreª² ofª works:ª otherwiseª graceª isª° no moreª² grace.ª Butª ifª [it be] ofª works,ª then is¹ it²° no moreª² grace:ª otherwiseª workª isª° no moreª² work.ª" {Rom 11:5-6}
