First letter of Peter 2:9

But you are "a chosen race, a royal priesthood [the word was used for the Levitical priesthood in the temple], a holy nation, a people for God's own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light." [This verse contains several ideas and quotations from Ex. 19:5–6; 23:22.]
