Romans 6:17

But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:

Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
