emtv - 1Peter:2:4-12

emtv@1Peter:2:4 @ Coming to Him as to a living stone, having been rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious,

emtv@1Peter:2:5 @ you also, as living stones, are being built [into] a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

emtv@1Peter:2:6 @ For it is also contained in the Scripture, "Behold, I place in Zion a chief cornerstone, chosen, precious, and he who believes on Him shall by no means be put to shame."

emtv@1Peter:2:7 @ Therefore, to you who believe, [He] is precious; but to those who are disobedient, "The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone,"

emtv@1Peter:2:8 @ and "a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense."They stumble, being disobedient to the word, to which they also were appointed.

emtv@1Peter:2:9 @ But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's [own] possession, that you may proclaim the excellent virtues of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;

emtv@1Peter:2:10 @ who formerly [were] not a people but now [are the] people of God, who had not received mercy, but now have received mercy.

emtv@1Peter:2:11 @ Beloved, I implore you as sojourners and pilgrims, to abstain from the lusts of the flesh which war against the soul;

emtv@1Peter:2:12 @ having your manner of life noble among the Gentiles, so that, whenever they speak against you as evildoers, when they observe the good works, they may glorify God in the day of visitation.
