1 Peter 2:9-11 But you are an elect race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a purchased people, that you may show forth the virtues of Him who has called you out of darkness into his marvelous light

MNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁹ But you are an elect race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a purchased people, that you may show forth the virtues of Him who has called you out of darkness into his marvelous light— ¹⁰ you who once were not a people, but now are the people of God; who were once without mercy, but now you have found mercy. ¹¹ I beseech you, beloved, as pilgrims and exiles, to abstain from passions of the flesh that war upon your souls.
