5 And now if YOU will strictly obey*+ my voice and will indeed keep my covenant,+ then YOU will certainly become* my special property out of all [other] peoples,+ because the whole earth belongs to me.+

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.+

53 For you yourself separated them as your inheritance out of all the peoples of the earth,+ just as you have spoken by means of Moses+ your servant* when you were bringing our forefathers out from Egypt, O Sovereign Lord Jehovah.”

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.+
