9 But you are ^ga chosen race, ^ha royal priesthood, a holy nation, ⁱa people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you ^jout of darkness into his marvelous light.

6 and made us a kingdom, ^mpriests to his God and Father, ⁿto him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

6 Blessed and holy is the one who shares in the first resurrection! Over such ^zthe second death has no power, but they will be ^apriests of God and of Christ, and they will reign with him for a thousand years.
