New American Standard Bible 1995
1 Peter 2:9-11
9But you are 1a chosen race, a royal 2priesthood, a 3holy nation, 4a people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you 5out of darkness into His marvelous light; 106for you once were not a people, but now you are the people of God; you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.
117Beloved, 8I urge you as 9aliens and strangers to abstain from 10fleshly lusts which wage 11war against the soul.
