Come to Christ,

who is the living cornerstone

 of GOD’s temple.

He was rejected by the people, but He is precious to GOD who chose Him.

And now GOD is building you,

as LIVING STONES,

into His spiritual temple. 

What’s more,

you are GOD’s holy priests,

who offer the spiritual sacrifices that please Him because of Jesus Christ.

. . .

You are a chosen people.

You are a kingdom of priests,

GOD’s holy nation,

His very own possession. 

This is so you can show others the goodness of GOD,

for He called you out of the darkness

and into the light.

​

1 Peter 2:4-5, 9
