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

gltv@1Peter:2:6 @ Because of this, it is also contained in the Scripture: "Behold," I lay in Zion" an elect, "precious Stone," "a Corner-foundation;" "and the one believing in Him shall never in any way be ashamed." Isaiah. strkjv@28:16

gltv@1Peter:2:9 @ But you are "an elect race," "a royal priesthood," "a holy nation," "a people for possession," so that "you may openly speak of the virtues" of the One who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; LXX-Ex. strkjv@23:22; MT-Ex. strkjv@19:5, 6

gltv@1Peter:2:11 @ Beloved, I exhort you as temporary residents and pilgrims to abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul;

gltv@1Peter:2:12 @ having your behavior good among the nations, in that which they speak against you as evildoers; by observing your good works, they may glorify God in a day of visitation.
