1 Peter 2:8-10

New King James Version

⁸ and

^(B)They stumble, being disobedient to the word, ^(C)to which they also were appointed.

⁹ But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of ^(D)darkness into His marvelous light; ^10 (E)who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy.
