Deuteronomy 7:8

Deu 7:8 But because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the LORD brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

Ver. 8. But because he loved you. ] Lo, he loved you, because he loved you. This may seem idem per idem, a woman’s reason. But it excellently shows the ground of God’s love to be wholly in himself.
