44 For I am Jehovah YOUR God;+ and YOU must sanctify yourselves and YOU must prove yourselves holy,+ because I am holy.+ So YOU must not make YOUR souls unclean by any swarming creature that moves upon the earth.
6 For you are a holy people to Jehovah your God.+ It is you Jehovah your God has chosen to become his people, a special property, out of all the peoples that are on the surface of the ground.+
6 And as for YOU, the priests of Jehovah YOU will be called;+ the ministers*+ of our God*YOU will be said to be.+ The resources of the nations YOU people will eat,+ and in their glory YOU will speak elatedly about yourselves.+
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.+
