彼得前书 2:9 唯有你们是被拣选的族类，是有君尊的祭司，是圣洁的国度，是属神的子民，要叫你们宣扬那召你们出黑暗、入奇妙光明者的美德。(现代标点和合本)
1 Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; (NKJV)
你是被拣选的族类，在你⽣命中要成就那⼜⼤⼜美好的事。你也是君尊的祭司。你既是君王⼜是祭司，神要兴起你，为要叫你们宣扬那召你们出⿊暗，⼊奇妙光明者的美德。你可以坦然告诉⼈天⽗如何将你糟糕的⽣命转为美好；天⽗如何恢复你的喜乐，你的⼈际关系等。 我们可以歌颂祂，因为我们被恩召⾛出⿊暗，进⼊祂奇妙的光明。我们是活⽯，从⿊暗中被带到神的殿，被建造成为灵宫，是这教会中宝贵的⼀份⼦。当我们看到教 会被建⽴起来，随着越来越多的灵魂得救，你将看⻅神要如何⼤⼤的使⽤你的⽣ 命。你被拣选成为君尊的祭司，被恩召在⽣命中成就⼤事。让我们赞美和敬拜主耶稣，祂是我们的房⻆⽯，我们的⼒量，是我们的⼤牧者，我们的⽣命必不致缺乏。你是被祂所爱，所拣选，所恩召的!
You are a CHOSEN generation, you are chosen to do great things in your life. You are a royal priesthood, both a king and a priest, that you may proclaim praises of Him, to tell others how God turns bad circumstances in your life to good; how God restore your joy, your relationships. We can sing praises of Him because we are called out of darkness into His marvelous light. We are living stones, brought out from darkness to the temple of God and a precious piece in this church. As we see this church being built up, as more souls are being saved, you will see how God uses your life mightily. You are chosen, a royal priesthood, and are called to do great things in your life. Let us praise and worship Jesus who is our cornerstone, our strength, and our Shepherd who makes us never be in want. You are loved, you are chosen, and you are called by Him!
