1 Peter “But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness in to his marvelous light. Once you were not a people, but now you are God’s people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.”
