To these, the apostle Peter wrote: “You are ‘ a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for special possession, that you should declare abroad the excellencies ’ of the one that called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. For you were once not a people, but are now God’s people. ”
Nendele kirjutas apostel Peetrus: „Teie aga olete„ valitud sugu, kuninglik preesterkond, püha rahvas, omandrahvas, et te kuulutaksite tema aulisi tegusid ”, kes teid on kutsunud pimedusest oma imelise valguse juurde, teie, kes muiste olite „mitterahvas ”, aga nüüd olete Jumala rahvas ”.
