1 Peter 2:9-11
Revised Geneva Translation
9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people set at liberty; so that you would show forth the virtues of the One Who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light,
10 In the past, you were not a people, yet are now the people of God; who in the past were not under mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
11 Dearly beloved, I urge you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul.
