1 Peter 2:9

‘So now then, if you will indeed listen to My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be My treasured possession among all the peoples, for all the earth is Mine;

and you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words that you shall speak to the sons of Israel.”

“But Yahweh has taken you and brought you out of the iron furnace, from Egypt, to be a people for His own inheritance, as today.

“For you are a holy people to Yahweh your God; Yahweh your God has chosen you to be a people for His own treasured possession out of all the peoples who are on the face of the earth.

“For you are a holy people to Yahweh your God, and Yahweh has chosen you to be a people for His treasured possession out of all the peoples who are on the face of the earth.

“And Yahweh has today declared you to be His people, a treasured possession, as He promised you, and that you should keep all His commandments;

and that He will set you high above all nations which He has made, for praise, a name, and beauty; and that you shall be a holy people to Yahweh your God, as He has spoken.”

“For Yahweh will not abandon His people on account of His great name, because Yahweh has been pleased to make you a people for Himself.

“The people whom I formed for Myself Will recount My praise.

“I will also take some of them for priests and for Levites,” says Yahweh.

“And they will be Mine,” says Yahweh of hosts, “on the day that I prepare My own treasured possession, and I will spare them as a man spares his own son who serves him.”

“Be on guard for yourselves and for all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood.

to open their eyes so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the authority of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who have been sanctified by faith in Me.’

And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to His purpose.

and those whom He predestined, He also called; and those whom He called, He also justified; and those whom He justified, He also glorified.

For no one can lay a foundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

who gave Himself for us that He might redeem us from all lawlessness, and purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good works.
