1 Peter 2:7-9

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁷ To you then who believe, he is precious; but for those who do not believe,

⁸ and

They stumble because they disobey the word, as they were destined to do.

⁹ But 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 marvelous light.
