1Peter:2:4-12
riversident@1Peter:2:4 @ Coming to him, a living stone, rejected by men but with the Lord chosen and precious,
riversident@1Peter:2:5 @ you also as living stones are built up, a spiritual house, and become a holy priesthood to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
riversident@1Peter:2:6 @ Therefore it is contained in Scripture, "See, I am laying in Zion a chosen stone, an honored corner stone. He who has faith in him will not be put to shame."
riversident@1Peter:2:7 @ To you who have faith is the "honor," but to the unbelieving "the stone which the builders rejected \'97 that has become the corner stone,
riversident@1Peter:2:8 @ a stone for the foot to strike, a rock to stumble over." Their feet strike the message because of their unbelief, and to this they were destined.
riversident@1Peter:2:9 @ But you are a chosen race, a kingly priesthood, a holy nation, God's own people, that you may proclaim the virtues of him who called you from darkness into his wonderful light.
riversident@1Peter:2:10 @ Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God: once you had not found compassion, but now you have found compassion.
riversident@1Peter:2:11 @ Beloved, I beg you, as foreigners and resident aliens, to shun the passions of the flesh which war against the soul.
riversident@1Peter:2:12 @ Keep your daily life among the Gentiles honorable, so that, although they talk against you as if you were wrongdoers, they may, from your noble deeds that they see, glorify God on the day of inspection.
