9ButG1161 youG4771 are a chosenG1588 peopleG1085, a royalG934 priesthoodG2406, a holyG40 nationG1484, a peopleG2992 forG1519 God’s own possessionG4047, toG3704 proclaimG1804 theG3588 virtuesG703 of Him whoG3588 calledG2564 youG4771 out ofG1537 darknessG4655 intoG1519 HisG846 marvelousG2298 lightG5457. 10OnceG4218 you were notG3756 a peopleG2992, butG1161 nowG3568 you are the peopleG2992 of GodG2316; once you had not received mercyG3756G1653, butG1161 nowG3568 you have received mercyG1653.1
