Now that you know what a "reflexive pronoun" is, note that the most well know verse in the Bible does not use it.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

There is no "my" as a "reflexive pronoun" in that verse. It doesn't say God so loved "his own world", or the world of the "elect".

The word "the" defines the meaning of a noun, in this case the "world". When you use the word "the" you are referring to a specific thing. The "elect" are no where to be seen here. The world is the world here.

There is nothing to take out of context here. If you do, then everything God says means something different and you end up with pure nonsense which is what your "elect" is.
