Vinsæl biblíuvers úr 1 Peter 2

Deildu

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people of his own, so that you may proclaim the virtues of the one who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we may cease from sinning and live for righteousness. By his wounds you were healed . For you were going astray like sheep but now you have turned back to the shepherd and guardian of your souls.

You once were not a people , but now you are God’s people. You were shown no mercy, but now you have received mercy.

And yearn like newborn infants for pure, spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up to salvation

Dear friends, I urge you as foreigners and exiles to keep away from fleshly desires that do battle against the soul, and maintain good conduct among the non-Christians, so that though they now malign you as wrongdoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God when he appears.

you yourselves, as living stones, are built up as a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood and to offer spiritual sacrifices that are acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

So get rid of all evil and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander.

So as you come to him, a living stone rejected by men but chosen and priceless in God’s sight

Live as free people, not using your freedom as a pretext for evil, but as God’s slaves.

For God wants you to silence the ignorance of foolish people by doing good.
