English “chosen” in Acts 9:15 and John 15:16 were translated from Greek feminine noun 1589 ekloge and Greek verb 1586 eklegomai respectively which confirms that bible writers are among God’s “seven thousand” “election” to whom they are referring when you see the English words “us” “we” “our” “ourselves” and “us-ward”.

English “seed” emboldened in Romans 9:29 was translated from Greek neuter noun 4690 sperma which was translated into “seed” in Romans 9:7-8 which the Greek words confirm that Abraham’s seed is in fact God’s “seven thousand” “election” who alone receive and retain the “promise” of God’s Spirit during this earth age.
English “we had been as” and been made like emboldened in Romans 9:29 were translated from Greek particle 302 an which is most often translated into “whosoever” and “whatsoever” as the predicate of the action performed as exemplified by Matthew 12:50 “For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother” and John 11:22 “But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee”. Which is predicated upon Matthew 6:6 which is also prerequisite to John 15:16 John 16:13 James 4:4 and 1John 2:5.
