1Peter:2:5-9
Seeker Overlay ON
*
ye also ,
as living stones ,
are built up a spiritual house ,
a holy priesthood ,
to offer up spiritual sacrifices ,
acceptable to God through Jesus Christ .
*
It is therefore contained in the scripture ,
Behold ,
I lay in Zion a chief corner stone ,
chosen ,
precious .
And he who believes in him will ,
no ,
not be shamed .
*
To you therefore who believe is the preciousness ,
but for men who disobey ,
A stone that the builders rejected ,
this became the head of the corner ,
*
and ,
A stone of stumbling and a rock of offense ,
men who stumble at the word ,
being disobedient ,
for which also they were set .
*
But ye are a chosen race ,
a royal priesthood ,
a holy nation ,
a people for an acquired possession ,
so that ye might broadly proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light .
