1 Peter 2:9-10

New Catholic Bible

⁹But you are “a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people claimed by God as his own possession,” so that you may proclaim the praise of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

¹⁰Once you were not a people,
but now you are God’s people.
Once you had not received mercy,
but now you have received mercy.
