Text -- 1 Peter 2:1-9 (NET)
Strongs On/Off
Context
2:1 So get rid of all evil and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander .
2:2 And yearn like newborn infants for pure , spiritual milk , so that by it you may grow up to salvation ,
2:3 if you have experienced the Lord’s kindness .
A Living Stone, a Chosen People
2:4 So as you come to him , a living stone rejected by men but chosen and priceless in God’s sight ,
2:5 you yourselves , as living stones , are built up as a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood and to offer spiritual sacrifices that are acceptable to God through Jesus Christ .
2:6 For it says in scripture , “Look , I lay in Zion a stone , a chosen and priceless cornerstone , and whoever believes in him will never be put to shame .”
2:7 So you who believe see his value , but for those who do not believe , the stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone ,
2:8 and a stumbling-stone and a rock to trip over . They stumble because they disobey the word , as they were destined to do .
2:9 But you are a chosen race , a royal priesthood , a holy nation , a people of his own , so that you may proclaim the virtues of the one who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light .
