1 Peter 2:1-7 (New King James Version)
View In My Bible
1
Therefore, laying aside all malice, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all evil speaking,
2
as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby, a
3
if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
4
Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious,
5
you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
6
Therefore it is also contained in the Scripture, "Behold, I lay in Zion A chief cornerstone, elect, precious, And he who believes on Him will by no means be put to shame." b
7
Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious; but to those who are disobedient, c "The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone," d
