And now if you will indeed hear My voice, and keep My covenant, you shall be to Me a peculiar people above all nations; for the whole earth is Mine.

And you shall be to Me a royal priesthood and a holy nation. These words shall you speak to the children of Israel.

For you are a holy people to the Lord your God; and the Lord your God chose you to be to Him a peculiar people beyond all nations that [are] upon the face of the earth.

But because the Lord has loved you, and He is keeping the oath which He swore to your fathers; the Lord has brought you out with a strong hand, and the Lord has redeemed you from the house of bondage, out of the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

For you are a holy people to the Lord your God, and the Lord your God has chosen you to be a peculiar people to Himself of all the nations on the face of the earth.

And the Lord has chosen you this day, that you should be to Him a peculiar people, as He said, to keep His commands;

And His people Jacob became the portion of the Lord, Israel was the line of His inheritance.

As an eagle would watch over his brood, and yearns over his young, receives them having spread his wings, and takes them up on his back:

He brought them up on the strength of the land; He fed them with the fruits of the fields; they sucked honey out of the rock, and oil out of the solid rock.

For the Lord has chosen Jacob for Himself, [and] Israel for His peculiar treasure.

And they shall be Mine, says the Lord Almighty, in the day which I appoint for a peculiar possession; and I will make choice of them, as a man makes choice of his son that serves him.

who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself a people as [His] own possession, zealous for good works.

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's [own] possession, that you may proclaim the excellent virtues of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;

And I will make you a great nation, and I will bless you and magnify your name, and you shall be blessed.

He has dispersed abroad; he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures forever; his horn shall be exalted with honor.

How can you believe, who receive glory from one another, and do not seek the glory which is from the only God?

so that the genuineness of your faith, which is more precious than gold that perishes, though being tested with fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

The Lord appeared to him from afar, [saying], I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn you.

Early in the morning were they cast off, the king of Israel has been cast off: for Israel is a child, and I loved him, and out of Egypt have I called his children.

I have loved you, says the Lord. And you said, How have You loved us? Was not Esau Jacob's brother? Says the Lord: yet I loved Jacob,

for the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me, and have believed that I came forth from God.

I in them, and You in Me; so that they may be perfected in unity, and so that the world may know that You have sent Me, and You loved them just as You loved Me.

And I made known to them Your name, and I will make it known, so that the love [with] which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them."

Behold, I will give those of the synagogue of Satan, those who say they are Jews and are not, but they are lying-behold, I will compel them to come and bow down at your feet, and they shall know that I have loved you.
