Chosen Royal Holy Peculiar Possession 1 Peter 2:8-9

“A stone of stumbling and a rock of offense.”
They stumble because they disobey the message—and to this they were appointed. But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, to proclaim the virtues of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous 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.

1 Pet. 2:8-10
