1 Peter 2:1-8 ▼

1 Wherfore laye asyde all maliciousnes and all gyle and dissimulacion and envie and all backbytynge:

2 and as newe borne babes desyre that reasonable mylke which is with out corrupcion that ye maye growe therin.

3 If so be that ye have tasted how plesaunt the lorde is

4 to whom ye come as vnto a livynge stone disalowed of men but chosen of god and precious:

5 and ye as lyvynge stones are made a spretuall housse and an holy presthode for to offer vp spretuall sacryfice acceptable to god by Iesus Christ.

6 Wherfore it is contayned in the scripture: beholde I put in Sion an heed corner stone electe and precious: and he that beleveth on him shall not be ashamed.

7 Vnto you therfore which beleve he is precious: but vnto them which beleve not ye stone which ye bylders refused ye same is made ye heed stone in the corner

8 and a stone to stomble at and a rocke to offende them which stomble at the worde and beleve not that where on they were set.
