27 “‘And the kingdom and the rulership and the grandeur of the kingdoms under all the heavens were given to the people who are the holy ones of the Supreme One.*+ Their* kingdom is an indefinitely lasting kingdom,+ and all the rulerships will serve and obey even them.’+

29 and I make a covenant with YOU, just as my Father has made a covenant+ with me, for a kingdom,+

28 Wherefore, seeing that we are to receive a kingdom that cannot be shaken,+ let us continue to have undeserved kindness, through which we may acceptably render God sacred service* with godly fear and awe.+

5 Listen, my beloved brothers. God chose the ones who are poor+ respecting the world to be rich+ in faith and heirs of the kingdom, which he promised to those who love him,+ did he not?

6 and he made us to be a kingdom,+ priests+ to his God and Father—yes, to him be the glory and the might forever.+ Amen.
