In kindness can you explain what a Holy race is ?
Since the body of Christ is comprised of people of every kindred,tribe and tongue.

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; 1 Peter 2:9 KJV

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a dedicated nation, [God's] own purchased, special people, that you may set forth the wonderful deeds and display the virtues and perfections of Him Who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light. 1 Peter 2:9

*generation (genos, Strongs no. 1085) a race of people, nation, kind, family, genre, class type

**nation (ethnos, Strongs no. 1484) a nation, people, gentile, pagan

These definitions are from The Apostolic Polyglot Bible which is an interlinear Greek and English Bible with a lexical concordance

I did know that verse was there,I was just curious was to how you would define a holy race.Since race is a type of people certainly the church is a group or type of people who have been transformed by the grace of God to walk in newness of life.
