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. (1 Peter 2:9) แต่พวกท่านเป็น พงศ์พันธุ์ที่ทรงเลือกสรร เป็นพวกปุโรหิตหลวง เป็นชนชาติบริสุทธิ์ เป็นประชากรอันเป็นกรรมสิทธิ์ของพระเจ้า เพื่อให้พวกท่านประกาศพระเกียรติคุณ ของพระองค์ ผู้ได้ทรงเรียกพวกท่านให้ออกมาจากความมืด เข้าไปสู่ความสว่างอันมหัศจรรย์ของพระองค์ (1 เปโตร 2:9) Nhưng anh em là dòng-giống được lựa-chọn, là chức thầy tế-lễ nhà vua, là dân thánh, là dân thuộc về Đức Chúa Trời, hầu cho anh em rao-giảng nhân-đức của Đấng đã gọi anh em ra khỏi nơi tối-tăm, đến nơi sáng-láng lạ-lùng của Ngài; (I Phi-e-rơ 2:9) 그러나 너희는 택하신 족속이요 왕 같은 제사장들이요 거룩한 나라요 그의 소유가 된 백성이니 이는 너희를 어두운 데서 불러 내어 그의 기이한 빛에 들어가게 하신 이의 아름다운 덕을 선포하게 하려 하심이라 (베드로전서 2장 9)
