1Peter:2:4-12
rkjnt@1Peter:2:4 @ Coming to him as to a living stone, rejected by men, but chosen by God, and precious,
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.
rkjnt@1Peter:2:10 @ In times past you were not a people, but now you are the people of God: once you had not obtained mercy, but now you have obtained mercy.
rkjnt@1Peter:2:11 @ Dearly beloved, I urge you as aliens and strangers, abstain from fleshly lusts, which wage war against the soul.
rkjnt@1Peter:2:12 @ Conduct yourselves righteously among the Gentiles: that, though they speak against you as evildoers, they may behold your good works and glorify God on the day of visitation.
