έκλεκτός

I have begun a word study on έκλεκτός, which in English is translated "elect" or "chosen." I see too many instances where the word "elect" in the New Testament is talking about the nation of Israel, but people (specifically those who believe Covenant Theology) confuse them to be talking about the Church. So I am beginning to dig in and find out exactly how the word is used in the New Testament. We will see how this turns out! I will definitely post my findings.
