John 17:10An Understandable Version (2005 edition)And everything I have belongs to you, and what you have belongs to me; and I am honored through these men. See the chapter |
But you people are especially chosen [by God]; you are a royal body of priests; you are a nation especially set apart for God’s use; you are a people who belong exclusively to God, that you may express the virtues of the One who called you out of darkness [i.e., of sin and error], and into His marvelous light [i.e., righteousness and truth].
