1Peter:2:5-9
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Ye also ,
as lively stones ,
are built up a spiritual house ,
an holy priesthood ,
to offer up spiritual sacrifices ,
acceptable to God by Jesus Christ .
*
Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture ,
Behold ,
I lay in Sion a chief corner stone ,
elect ,
precious :
and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded .
*
Unto you therefore which believe he is precious :
but unto them which be disobedient ,
the stone which the builders disallowed ,
the same is made the head of the corner ,
*
And a stone of stumbling ,
and a rock of offence ,
even to them which stumble at the word ,
being disobedient :
whereunto also they were appointed .
*
But ye are a chosen generation ,
a royal priesthood ,
an holy nation ,
a peculiar people ;
that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light :
