23 The one offering thanksgiving as his sacrifice is the one that glorifies me;+
And as for the one keeping a set way,
I will cause him to see salvation by God.”*+
9 But YOU are “a chosen race,* a royal priesthood, a holy nation,+ a people for special possession,+ that YOU should declare abroad the excellencies”*+ of the one that called YOU out of darkness into his wonderful light.+
