1 Peter 2:9-11

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

⁹But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s own people,^[a] in order that you may proclaim the mighty acts of him who called you out of darkness into his marvellous 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.

Live as Servants of God

¹¹Beloved, I urge you as aliens and exiles to abstain from the desires of the flesh that wage war against the soul.
