Those selected by God for special responsibilities.

I have made a covenant with my chosen, Ps. 89: 3. Many are called, but few are chosen, Matt. 22: 14 (Matt. 20: 16; D&C 95: 5; 121: 34, 40). The Saints are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, 1 Pet. 2: 9. Christ was God's Beloved and Chosen from the beginning, Moses 4: 2.
