6 For you are a holy people to Jehovah your God, and Jehovah your God has chosen you to become his people, his special property,* out of all the peoples who are on the face of the earth.+

9 Jehovah will establish you as a holy people to himself,+ just as he swore to you,+ because you continue to keep the commandments of Jehovah your God and walk in his ways.
