Abraham 3:22-23

22. Now the Lord had shown unto me Abraham, the intelligences that were organized before the world was.
23. And among all these there were many of the noble and great ones, and God saw these souls that they were good, and he stood in the midst of them, and he said; these I will make my rulers, for he stood among those that were spirits, and he saw that they were good. And he said unto me, Abraham, thou art one of them, thou wast chosen before thou wast born.
