Senses
1. election, choosing, divine selection — The act or result of God's sovereign choosing -- selecting individuals or a people for his purposes, a key Pauline theological term (Acts 9:15; Rom 9:11, 11:5, 11:7, 11:28; 1 Thess 1:4; 2 Pet 1:10). Translations consistently render a single concept: Spanish 'eleccion/de eleccion', Hindi 'chunav/chunav ka' (चुनाव/चुनाव का), Arabic 'al-ikhtiyari/ikhtiyarin' (الاخْتِيَارِ/اخْتِيَارٍ), Korean 'seontaek/taeham' (선택을/택함 의), Swahili 'uchaguzi/waliochaguliwa/cha kuchaguliwa'. S66762 is the genitive case form ('of election') -- a grammatical inflection, not a distinct sense. 7×
