God's foreknew and elected most freely apart from any consideration of the creature

"God therefore foreknew His own, not as foreseeing their merits - for they had none - but because He cast upon them an eye of mercy and favour, thus distinguishing them from others, and numbering them among His children, notwithstanding all their sin and unworthiness, according to that word of Paul, 'Who maketh thee to differ?'"

- John Calvin, Calvin's Calvinism
