1Peter:2:4-12
acv@1Peter:2:4 @ Coming to whom, a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but with God chosen, precious,
acv@1Peter:2:5 @ 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.
acv@1Peter:2:6 @ 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.
acv@1Peter:2:7 @ 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,
acv@1Peter:2:8 @ and, A stone of stumbling and a rock of offense, men who stumble at the word, being disobedient, for which also they were set.
acv@1Peter:2:9 @ 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.
acv@1Peter:2:10 @ Men formerly not a people, but now are a people of God. Men who had not obtained mercy, but who now have obtained mercy.
acv@1Peter:2:11 @ Beloved, I beseech you as aliens and sojourners, to abstain from the fleshly lusts, which war against the soul.
acv@1Peter:2:12 @ Having your behavior good among the Gentiles, so that, upon which they speak against you as evil-doers, they may glorify God in the day of visitation, from having observed your good works.
