b'1 Peter 2:1-10 (ESV)
\\n2\\xa0So put away all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander. 2\\xa0Like newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation\\u2014 3\\xa0if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is good.
\\n4\\xa0As you come to him, a living stone rejected by men but in the sight of God chosen and precious, 5\\xa0you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 6\\xa0For it stands in Scripture:
\\n\\u201cBehold, I am laying in Zion a stone,
\\na cornerstone chosen and precious,
\\nand whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.\\u201d
\\n7\\xa0So the honor is for you who believe, but for those who do not believe,
\\n\\u201cThe stone that the builders rejected
\\nhas become the cornerstone,\\u201d
\\n8\\xa0and
\\n\\u201cA stone of stumbling,
\\nand a rock of offense.\\u201d
\\nThey stumble because they disobey the word, as they were destined to do.
\\n9\\xa0But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. 10\\xa0Once you were not a people, but now you are God\\u2019s people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.
