1 Peter 2:1-9

1PuttingG659 away thereforeG3767 all wickednessG2549, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evilG2549 speakings, 2as newborn babes, longG1971 for the spiritual milkG1051 which is without guile, that ye may growG837 thereby unto salvationG4991; 3if ye have tastedG1089 that the LordG2962 is gracious: 4unto whom comingG4334, a livingG2198 stoneG3037, rejectedG593 indeedG3303 of menG444, but with GodG2316 electG1588, preciousG1784, 5ye alsoG2532, as livingG2198 stonesG3037, are builtG3618 up a spiritualG4152 houseG3624, to be a holyG40 priesthoodG2406, to offerG399 up spiritualG4152 sacrificesG2378, acceptableG2144 to GodG2316 through JesusG2424 ChristG5547. 6Because it is contained in scriptureG1124,

BeholdG2400, I lay in ZionG4622 a chief corner stoneG3037, electG1588, preciousG1784:And he that believeth on him shall not be putG5087 to shameG2617.

7For you thereforeG3767 that believeG4100 is the preciousness: but for such as disbelieve,

The stoneG3037 which the builders rejectedG593,The same was made the headG2776 of the cornerG1137;

8and,

A stoneG3037 of stumbling, and a rockG4073 of offence;

for they stumble at the wordG3056, being disobedientG544: whereunto alsoG2532 they were appointedG5087. 9But ye are an electG1588 raceG1085, a royal priesthoodG2406, a holyG40 nationG1484, a peopleG2992 for God’s own possessionG4047, that ye may show forth the excellencies of him who calledG2564 you out of darknessG4655 into his marvellous lightG5457:
