'People' in the Bible

As he says also in Hosea, I will call not-my-people My people; and the-not-beloved Beloved.

And it shall be, in the place where it was said to them, Ye are not my people, there shall they be called Sons of the living God.

But unto Israel he says, All the day long I have stretched out my hands unto a people disobeying and opposing.

I say then, Has God cast away his people? Far be the thought. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

God has not cast away his people whom he foreknew. Know ye not what the scripture says in the history of Elias, how he pleads with God against Israel?

And again he says, Rejoice, nations, with his people.
