"Who gave Himself for us,
that He might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto Himself
a peculiar people, zealous of good works" (Titus 2:14). "But ye are
a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar
people; that ye should shew forth the praises of Him who hath
called you out of darkness into His marvelous light" (1 Peter
2:9).
