1Peter:2:5-9
rkjnt@1Peter:2:5 @ You also, as living stones, are being built up into a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
rkjnt@1Peter:2:6 @ For this is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Zion a cornerstone, chosen and precious: and he who believes in him shall not be put to shame.
rkjnt@1Peter:2:7 @ Therefore, to you who believe, he is precious: but to those who disbelieve, the stone which the builders rejected has become the very cornerstone,
rkjnt@1Peter:2:8 @ And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence; they stumble at the word, being disobedient: as they were appointed to do.
rkjnt@1Peter:2:9 @ But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God; that you should declare the praises of him who has called you out of darkness into his marvellous light.
