I'm not sure, but in order to keep the original meaning, it should better be "Elected according to the foreknowledge of God" or even "Elected following the foreknowledge of God".

"Elected with..." should be changed to "Elected according to..."

I agree..."elected according to" sounds better than "elected with"!

Hi

I don't agree with removing the word "with", which seems quite appropriate, used with the word "foreknowledge" as, in English, we generally do things "with the foreknowledge of" something:

"John drank five whiskies with the foreknowledge that he would drive his car afterwards".

If the words "according to" or "following" are used the phrase becomes totally meaningless in English.

I know that the word "secundo" (following) is used in the source text but literal word-to-word translations very rarely come over in the target language.

In my opinion "with" is perfectly appropriate.
