1 Peter 2:2-8
English Standard Version
2 (A)Like newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual (B)milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation— 3 if indeed you have (C)tasted that the Lord is good.
4 As you come to him, a living stone (D)rejected by men but in the sight of God chosen and precious, 5 (E)you yourselves like living stones are being built up as (F)a spiritual house, to be (G)a holy priesthood, (H)to offer spiritual sacrifices (I)acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 6 For it stands in Scripture:
(J)“Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone,
a cornerstone chosen and precious,
(K)and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.”
7 So the honor is for you who (L)believe, but for those who (M)do not believe,
8 and
(O)“A stone of stumbling,
and a rock of offense.”
They stumble because they disobey the word, (P)as they were destined to do.
