1 Peter 2:2-8

1. 2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:

2. 3 If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.

3. 4 To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,

4. 5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.

5. 6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.

6. 7 Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,

7. 8 And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.
