⁹ But you are a special people, a holy nation, priests and kings, a people given up completely to God, so that you may make clear the virtues of him who took you out of the dark into the light of heaven.

⁵ You, as living stones, are being made into a house of the spirit, a holy order of priests, making those offerings of the spirit which are pleasing to God through Jesus Christ.

²⁴ I said to myself, The Lord is my heritage; and because of this I will have hope in him.

²⁵ Whom have I in heaven but you? and having you I have no desire for anything on earth.

²⁶ My flesh and my heart are wasting away: but God is the Rock of my heart and my eternal heritage.

⁵ The Lord is my heritage and the wine of my cup; you are the supporter of my right.
