1 Peter 2:9-10

MSG

NIV

9 But you are the ones chosen by God, chosen for the high calling of priestly work, chosen to be a holy people, God's instruments to do his work and speak out for him, to tell others of the night-and-day difference he made for you -
9 But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.
10 from nothing to something, from rejected to accepted.
10 Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.
