1Peter:2:4-12
jub@1Peter:2:4 @ coming unto whom (is the living Stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, [and] precious),
jub@1Peter:2:5 @ ye also, as living stones, [are] built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, well pleasing to God by Jesus, the Christ.
jub@1Peter:2:6 @ Therefore, also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion the chief corner stone, chosen, precious; and he that believes on him shall not be confounded.
jub@1Peter:2:7 @ Unto you, therefore, who believe [he is] precious; but unto those who are disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,
jub@1Peter:2:8 @ and a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense, [even to those] who stumble at the word, not obeying in that for which they were ordained.
jub@1Peter:2:9 @ But ye are the chosen generation, [a] royal priesthood, [a] holy nation, [an] acquired people, that ye should show forth the virtues of him who has called you out of darkness into his marvellous light.
jub@1Peter:2:10 @ Ye who in the time past [were] not a people, but [are] now the people of God, who in the time past had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
jub@1Peter:2:11 @ Dearly beloved, I beseech [you] as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from the carnal desires which war against the soul
jub@1Peter:2:12 @ and have your honest conversation among the Gentiles, so that, in that which they murmur about you as of evildoers, having witnessed [your] good works, they may glorify God in the day of visitation.
