1 Peter 2:7-10

English Standard Version

⁷ So the honor is for you who ^(A)believe, but for those who ^(B)do not believe,

⁸ and

They stumble because they disobey the word, ^(E)as they were destined to do.

⁹ But you are ^(F)a chosen race, ^(G)a royal ^(H)priesthood, ^(I)a holy nation, ^(J)a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you ^(K)out of darkness into ^(L)his marvelous light. ^10 (M)Once you were not a people, but now you are God's people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.
