1 Peter 2:5-8
English Standard Version
1 Peter 2:5-8
English Standard Version
5 (A)you yourselves like living stones are being built up as (B)a spiritual house, to be (C)a holy priesthood, (D)to offer spiritual sacrifices (E)acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 6 For it stands in Scripture:
(F)“Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone,
a cornerstone chosen and precious,
(G)and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.”
7 So the honor is for you who (H)believe, but for those who (I)do not believe,
8 and
(K)“A stone of stumbling,
and a rock of offense.”
They stumble because they disobey the word, (L)as they were destined to do.
