1 Peter 2:7-9

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁷ Therefore, for you who believe, this is an honor. But for those who do not believe:

⁸ and,

Because they continue to disobey the word, they stumble over it. And that is the consequence appointed for them.

⁹ But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, the people who are God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.
