Deuteronomy 7:7-9

Modern English Version

⁷ The Lord did not set His love on you nor choose you because you were more in number than any of the peoples, for you were the fewest of all the peoples. ⁸ But it is because the Lord loved you and because He kept the oath which He swore to your fathers. The Lord brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you out of the house of slavery, from the hand of Pharaoh, king of Egypt. ⁹ Know therefore that the Lord your God, He is God, the faithful God, who keeps covenant and mercy with them who love Him and keep His commandments to a thousand generations,
