New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁸and

“A stone that makes them stumble,
and a rock that makes them fall.”

⁹But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s own people,^[a] in order that you may proclaim the mighty acts of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

¹⁰Once you were not a people,
but now you are God’s people;
once you had not received mercy,
but now you have received mercy.
