New International Version

7 Now to you who believe, this stone is precious. But to those who do not believe,(A)

9 But you are a chosen people,(F) a royal priesthood,(G) a holy nation,(H) God’s special possession,(I) that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.(J)
