1Peter:2:4-12
asv@1Peter:2:4 @unto whom coming, a living stone, rejected indeed of men, but with God elect, precious,
asv@1Peter:2:5 @ye also, as living stones, are built up a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
asv@1Peter:2:6 @Because it is contained in scripture, Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: And he that believeth on him shall not be put to shame.
asv@1Peter:2:7 @For you therefore that believe is the preciousness: but for such as disbelieve, The stone which the builders rejected, The same was made the head of the corner;
asv@1Peter:2:8 @and, A stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence; for they stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.
asv@1Peter:2:9 @But ye are a elect race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's own possession, that ye may show forth the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
asv@1Peter:2:10 @who in time past were no people, but now are the people of God: who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
asv@1Peter:2:11 @Beloved, I beseech you as sojourners and pilgrims, to abstain from fleshly lust, which war against the soul;
asv@1Peter:2:12 @having your behavior seemly among the Gentiles; that, wherein they speak against you as evil-doers, they may by your good works, which they behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.
