ગુજરાતીપિતરનો પહેલો પત્ર ૨:૧૦
તમે પહેલાં પ્રજા જ નહોતા, પણ હાલ ઈશ્વરની પ્રજા છો; કોઈ એક સમયે તમે દયા પામેલા નહોતા, પણ હાલ દયા પામ્યા છો.
हिन्दी1 पतरस २:१०
तुम पहले तो कुछ भी नहीं थे, पर अब परमेश्वर की प्रजा हो; तुम पर दया नहीं हुई थी पर अब तुम पर दया हुई है। (होशे 1:10, होशे 2:23)

In context

8and, “a stumbling stone and a rock of offense.” For they stumble at the word, being disobedient, to which also they were appointed.

9But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, that you may proclaim the excellence of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

10In the past, you were not a people, but now are God’s people, who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

11Beloved, I beg you as foreigners and pilgrims to abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul,

12having good behavior among the nations, so in that of which they speak against you as evildoers, they may see your good works and glorify God in the day of visitation.
