베드로전서 2장 9-10절

그러나 여러분은 택하심을 받은 족속이요, 왕과 같은 제사장들이요, 거룩한 민족이요, 하나님의 소유가 된 백성입니다. 그래서 여러분을 어둠에서 불러내어 자기의 놀라운 빛 가운데로 인도하신 분의 업적을, 여러분이 선포하는 것입니다.
여러분이 전에는 하나님의 백성이 아니었으나, 지금은 하나님의 백성이요, 전에는 자비를 입지 못한 사람이었으나, 지금은 자비를 입은 사람입니다._새번역성경 

  しかし、あなたがたは、選ばれた 種族、祭司の 国、聖なる 国民、神につける 民である。それによって、暗やみから 驚くべきみ 光に 招き 入れて 下さったかたのみわざを、あなたがたが 語り 伝えるためである。あなたがたは、以前は 神の 民でなかったが、いまは 神の 民であり、以前は、あわれみを 受けたことのない 者であったが、いまは、あわれみを 受けた 者となっている。_ㅍ

But you are A CHOSEN RACE, A royal PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, A PEOPLE FOR God's OWN POSSESSION, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;
for you once were NOT A PEOPLE, but now you are THE PEOPLE OF GOD; you had NOT RECEIVED MERCY, but now you have RECEIVED MERCY. _NASB 

But you are the ones chosen by God, chosen for the high calling of priestly work, chosen to be a holy people, God’s instruments to do his work and speak out for him, to tell others of the night-and-day difference he made for you—from nothing to something, from rejected to accepted._The Message
