1 Peter 2:1-8 ▼

1 Wherefore lay asyde all maliciousnesse, and all guile, and faynednesse, and enuie, and all backbityng,

2 And as newe borne babes, desire ye ye milke of the worde, which is without deceipt: that ye may growe therby vnto saluatio

3 If so be that ye haue tasted howe gratious the Lorde is:

4 To whom ye come, as vnto a lyuyng stone, disalowed of men, but chosen of God and precious:

5 And ye as lyuely stones, be you made a spirituall house, an holy priesthood, for to offer vp spirituall sacrifices, acceptable to God by Iesus Christe.

6 Wherefore it is conteyned also in the scripture: beholde, I put in Sion a stone to be laide in the chiefe corner, elect and precious, and he that beleueth on hym, shall not be confounded.

7 Unto you therfore which beleue, he is precious: but vnto them whiche beleue not, the stone which the buylders refused, the same is made the head of the corner:

8 And a stone that men stumble at, and a rocke wherat they be offended, whiche stumble at the worde, and beyng disobedient, vnto the whiche thing they were euen ordeyned.
