A chosen

Chosen according to the fore-knowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of Spirit, unto obedience and the sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ, Favour unto you, and peace, be multiplied!

Only unto thy fathers, Yahweh became attached so as to love them, - therefore made he choice of their seed after them - of you - out of all the peoples, (as at this day).

My seed, shall serve him, It shall he recounted, of the Lord, to a generation that shall come:

How happy the nation whose God is, Yahweh, The people he hath chosen as his own inheritance!

If I had thought, I will relate it thus, Lo! the circle of thy sons, had I betrayed.

But, thou, Israel, my Servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, - The seed of Abraham my loving one;

Now, then - hear, O Jacob, my Servant, - and Israel whom I have chosen:

A royal

Now, therefore, if ye will, indeed hearken, to my voice, And keep my covenant, Then shall ye be mine as a treasure beyond all the peoples, For, mine, is all the earth;

But, ye, the priests of Yahweh, shall be called, The attendants of our God, shall ye be named, - The riches of the nations, shall ye eat, And in their glory, shall ye boast yourselves.

and he hath made us to be a kingdom - priests unto his God and Father, Unto him, be the glory, and the dominion, unto the ages. Amen.

And didst make them, unto our God, a kingdom and priests, - and they reign on the earth.

Happy and holy, is he that hath part in the first resurrection: upon these, the second death, hath no authority; but they shall be priests of God and of the Christ, and shall reign with him for the thousand years.

Peculiar

whereas you, hath Yahweh taken, and brought you forth out of a smelting-pot of iron, out of Egypt, - that ye might become his own inherited people as at this day.

For a holy people, art thou unto Yahweh thy God: of thee, hath Yahweh thy God, made choice, that thou shouldest become his people as a treasure, above all the peoples that are on the face of the ground:

For, a holy people, thou art unto Yahweh thy God, - and, of thee, did Yahweh make choice, that thou shouldest become his people as a treasure, above all the peoples that are on the face of the ground.

And, Yahweh, hath avowed to-day that thou shalt be, his people, as a treasure, as he spake unto thee, - and that thou shalt observe all his commandments;

Be taking heed unto yourselves, and unto all the little flock in which the Holy Spirit hath set, you, as overseers, - to be shepherding the assembly of God which he hath acquired through means of the blood of his own.

Which is an earnest of our inheritance, unto the redemption of the acquisition; - unto his glorious praise.

Who gave himself up in our behalf, that he might redeem us from all manner of lawlessness, and purify for himself a people as his own treasure - zealous of noble works.

Shew

If any one speaketh, as oracles of God, if any one ministereth, as of strength which, God, supplieth, - that, in all things, God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, - unto whom are the glory and the dominion, unto the ages of ages. Amen!

A people which I have fashioned for myself, My praise, shall they record.

Arise - shine, For thy light, hath come, - And, the glory of Yahweh, on thee, hath beamed;

In like manner, let your light shine before men, - that they may see your good works, - and glorify your Father who is in the heavens.

Unto the praise of the glory of his favour wherewith he favoured us in the Beloved One, -

Unto him, be the glory, in the assembly, and in Christ Jesus - unto all the generations of the age of ages; Amen: -

In order that ye may become faultless and inviolate, children of God, blameless amidst a crooked and perverted generation, amongst whom ye appear as luminaries in the world,

Then shall the priest take of the blood of the guilt-bearer, and the priest shall put it upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, - and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot;

I - Yahweh, am your God - who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, to become your God, - I, - Yahweh, am your God.

so shall, even we, become like all the nations, - and our king shall judge us, and go forth before us, and fight our battles.

To the end the Name of Yahweh, might be celebrated in Zion, And his praise in Jerusalem:

I pray you! let Israel, say, For, age-abiding, is his lovingkindness.

Then shall, justice inhabit, the wilderness, And righteousness, in the garden-land, shall abide;

A people which I have fashioned for myself, My praise, shall they record.

And said to me My Servant, thou art, - Israel, in whom I will get myself glory.

And of them also, will I take for priests - for Levites, saith Yahweh,

Nor to the priests the Levites, shall there be wanting - A man, before me, To offer an ascending-sacrifice, or To make a perfume with a gift, or To offer a peace- offering, all the days!

Hence, then, it is nor of him that wisheth nor of him that runneth, but of the mercy-shewing God.
