1 Peter 2:4-12 - Interlinear Bible
As Living Stones
4
And
coming to Him as to a
living stone which has been
rejected by
men, but is
choice and
precious in the
sight of
God,
6
For this is
contained in
Scripture : "
BEHOLD, I
LAY IN
ZION A
CHOICE STONE, A
PRECIOUS CORNER stone, AND HE WHO
BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE
DISAPPOINTED."
8
and, " A
STONE OF
STUMBLING AND A
ROCK OF
OFFENSE "; for they
stumble because they are
disobedient to the
word, and to
this doom they were
also appointed.
9
But you are A
CHOSEN RACE, A
royal PRIESTHOOD, A
HOLY NATION, A
PEOPLE FOR God's OWN
POSSESSION,
so that you may
proclaim the
excellencies of Him who has
called you out of
darkness into His
marvelous light ;
10
for you
once were NOT A
PEOPLE, but
now you are THE
PEOPLE OF
GOD ; you had NOT
RECEIVED MERCY, but
now you have
RECEIVED MERCY.
12
Keep your
behavior excellent among the
Gentiles,
so that in the thing in
which they
slander you as
evildoers, they may
because of your
good deeds, as they
observe them,
glorify God in the
day of
visitation.
