Pakurirana nevamwe

But you are A CHOSEN RACE, A royal PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, A PEOPLE FOR God’s OWN POSSESSION, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light

and He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; for by His wounds you were healed. For you were continually straying like sheep, but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Guardian of your souls.

for you once were NOT A PEOPLE, but now you are THE PEOPLE OF GOD; you had NOT RECEIVED MERCY, but now you have RECEIVED MERCY.

like newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the word, so that by it you may grow in respect to salvation

Beloved, I urge you as aliens and strangers to abstain from fleshly lusts which wage war against the soul. Keep your behavior excellent among the Gentiles, so that in the thing in which they slander you as evildoers, they may because of your good deeds, as they observe them, glorify God in the day of visitation.

you also, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house for a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

Therefore, putting aside all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander

And coming to Him as to a living stone which has been rejected by men, but is choice and precious in the sight of God

Act as free men, and do not use your freedom as a covering for evil, but use it as bondslaves of God.

For such is the will of God that by doing right you may silence the ignorance of foolish men.
