Other Translations - 1 Peter 2:9-10:
But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a
holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may
declare the praises of him who called you out of
darkness into his wonderful light. 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. (NIV)
But
you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a
holy nation, His own special people, that you may
proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of
darkness into His marvelous light; who once were not
a people but are now the people of God, who had not
obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy. (NKJ)
But ye are a elect race, a royal priesthood, a holy
nation, a people for (God's) own possession, that ye
may show forth the excellencies of him who called
you out of darkness into his marvellous light: who
in time past were no people, but now are the people
of God: who had not obtained mercy, but now have
obtained mercy. (ASV)
But ye are a chosen
generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a
peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the
praises of him who hath called you out of darkness
into his marvellous light: Which in time past were
not a people, but are now the people of God: which
had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
