1 Peter 2:1-10 - The Living Stone and the Holy Nation 1Pe.2.1-10

2 ¹ So put away all malice and all guile and insincerity and envy and all slander. 2 ² Like newborn babes, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up to salvation; 2 ^{3 [ Ps.34.8. ]} for you have tasted the kindness of the Lord.

2 ⁴ Come to him, to that living stone, rejected by men but in God's sight chosen and precious; 2 ⁵ and like living stones be yourselves built into a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 2 ^{6 [ Is.28.16. ]} For it stands in scripture:

"Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone,
a cornerstone chosen and precious,
and he who believes in him will not be put to shame."

2 ^{7 [ Ps.118.22. ]} To you therefore who believe, he is precious, but for those who do not believe,

"The very stone which the builders rejected
has become the head of the corner,"

2 ^{8 [ Is.8.14. ]} and "A stone that will make men stumble, a rock that will make them fall"; for they stumble because they disobey the word, as they were destined to do.

2 ^{9 [ Is.43.20. ]} But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's own people, that you may declare the wonderful deeds of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. 2 ^{10 [ Hs.2.23. ]} Once you were no people but now you are God's people; once you had not received mercy but now you have received mercy.
