Pín

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's own people, that you may declare the wonderful deeds of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed. For you were straying like sheep, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Guardian of your souls.

Once you were no people but now you are God's people; once you had not received mercy but now you have received mercy.

Like newborn babes, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up to salvation

Beloved, I beseech you as aliens and exiles to abstain from the passions of the flesh that wage war against your soul. Maintain good conduct among the Gentiles, so that in case they speak against you as wrongdoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day of visitation.

and like living stones be yourselves built into a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

So put away all malice and all guile and insincerity and envy and all slander.

Come to him, to that living stone, rejected by men but in God's sight chosen and precious

Live as free men, yet without using your freedom as a pretext for evil; but live as servants of God.

For it is God's will that by doing right you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish men.
